Philly was still unique though. Most height limited cities are really height limited. D.C. and Paris, buildings in both cities can't even be 125 feet tall. When you think about it, 548 is really tall. Even forgetting the height limit, if you look at just the past 25 years, excluding buildings still under construction, only the Comcast Center was built taller than City Hall.

Mmm...One Liberty was completed in 1987. But Two Liberty was built in 1990. And Mellon Bank Center, Three Logan, the Fred DiBona building (where BlueCross is), and the Commerce Square Towers were all built in the 1990s...I guess some of these were built in 90 or 91 so fit your criteria. Two Commerce completed in 1992. Maybe that's really the only one other than Comcast Center. So, I guess you're right. I attribute it to the Philly economy and population shed prior to the last 10 or so years.
