I tried something at lunch today. I wanted to take a picture at every intersection walking from 15th to the river on Chestnut, cause you can see this peeking out from behind 2400 Chestnut even from Broad. You can't see it in every frame, really only the end ones, but I thought I'd share for fun.

Really cool...and is there a way to slow down the slide show you created...it's moving too fast to take in the details. thanks!

Glad you like it! It was fun to do. People probably thought I was crazy.

What a baller first picture. Welcome to the forum

Thanks for the slideshow josef... pretty interesting. I've noticed that you can see the crane for the Evo from Broad St but camera's don't pic it up

Sles12 · #**1008** Posted **Feb 1, 2014, 12:23 AM**

Thank you! I've been following the forum for a little while but finally decided to join. Should be able to provide some pretty good pics of a lot of the developments west of 20th st or so.

Yeah great pictures man! That picture is like the calm before the storm of western development.

From the WWB

Curtain is beginning on Chestnut. Looks to be highly reflective which is maybe why the renderings are showing a lot of light blue(sky).Glass actually appears to have a grey tint.

Wrong thread but, market8 will add a lot of weight to the eastern side of the city from this view.

Evo is all the way on the left.

Great pics guys. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum sles12

JRDizzy, I think he meant his comment was on the wrong thread, not your picture. That pic could be for almost any Philadelphia thread here. Maybe you can post it on the general thread? Great pic either way.

duffey · #**1015** Posted **Feb 3, 2014, 7:27 PM**

its amazing how far apart cira 1 and evo are, esp. from the WWB angle. the station and fed building are humongous.

Am pretty sure this breaks gound late spring/summer

also will be 4 buildings over 500ft under construction by the end of the year I believe

summersm343 · #**1019** Posted **Feb 4, 2014, 5:23 PM**

Yep^

Comcast Innovation and Technology Center- 59 floors- 1,121 feet
FMC Tower at Cira Centre South- 47 floors- 656 feet
SLS International- 47 floors- 562 feet
W/Element- 50 floors- 550+ feet

I was by the site about a week ago and it seems like the only stuff they are staging out of the FMC site is for concrete work so I would imagine that we will see activity as soon as Evo is topped off.
