I may take a tour here even though we own. I really just want to see the inside. Some units with terraces and balconies facing the Center City skyline would be nice, but it's hard to do that right without compromising the exterior aesthetic.
Re my last post, ceiling heights might also be low for a condo. Philly NEEDS a condo building of this caliber (for its exterior)! I've come around on 500 Walnut and think it is an interesting building, but neither it nor One Riverside are top modern architecture and do not approach the stunning timelessness of this.
