If the completed building is as visible as the crane, and it should be, then it will have quite a place in the western sky if not the skyline. I hope it turns out to be a winner, not just another box.

Wow, second tower crane erected in University City this weekend (first is at Penn's new Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics at 36th and Walnut). :cheers:

Sorry for the blurriness - taken with my cell phone

The crane looks HUGE from the Schuylkill River Trail! Taken 6/29:

I got a brief glimpse of this on the way in this AM from the train

shows you how great the views will be from this building. Almost unobstructed.

It's going to obstruct my view though. :)

Should be able to follow it pretty well from where I work.

Are you an RA in Van R or Millenium? Haha.

Also, the title should be changed. This tower is called "Vue32," not "View32."

I'll get an updated view soon. :)

I'm surprised that this will be a steel structure and not cement.
