Generally, aren't those facade cutouts a way to present some depth and character on a glasslined wall on a skyscraper...to break the monotony so to speak. In that sense, the cutout in Comcast works quite well. But for such a short building, do they really need to have such a "box grab"?!
Other than that, yeah I'm actually a bit pleasantly surprised at how the rendering looks...not too shabby.
But 14 floors and 250 feet?! the floors would have to be each more than 17' tall-- is that for real?!
Meanwhile, the old Family Court building has been put out to bid by Nutter administration for a new hotel-- is that still happening? |
Once again... the building next to it is One Parkway which is 258 feet tall.
lol. If the renders are correct then the height is approximately 250 feet. There will be several court rooms in it which will probably have 20 foot ceilings, and probably a lobby with 20 foot ceilings or higher. Not to mention it says 14 floors but doesn't mention a mechanical floor which since there is no basement because of a 3-4 story underground parking garage, it will probably be located elsewhere making this building most likely 15 floors. 14 floors of court/office space.
