I don't see what people are griping about. Yes, the massing is bulky, but it's still a very sophisticated design, has some subtle originality, and as a statement about what an urban skyscraper can be, in a league of its own. See Inga's column today. Due to the types rather than purely quantity of jobs this is bringing into the city, I could realistically foresee this generating demand for office space in Philly from global players in media and tech. Still underused block NW catty corner to this plus SW corner of 20th and Arch, blocks further along west Market, and underutilized blocks btw parkway, broad, and vine for more large scale commercial construction. Really exviting
