no fucking way! you got to be kidding me. for those of us who've are willing to wait for philly's first 1000 footer, 19th and market is the perfect site for a supertall (or at least anything over 500 ft). now we get word of 20 or so floors? please no! there are dozens of other locations better suited including accross the street from the murano.

if built a more suitable plot continues to rot as a surface lot while the perfect location for a supertall is wasted - wasted on a crappy midrise rental building.

but who here can be surprised? market and jfk west of broad are pretty much the only streets in the city where a developer can come in and build a highrise without fear of community opposition. the nimby's are forcing smaller towers better suited for walnut, chestnut, etc. into our business district.

i've never been so against a building before.
