Thank you everybody! Not to get too off topic from your development but you guys have a great thing going on in / around Center City. It was very friendly, the way-finding system is phenomenal, the squares are urban and awesome, the retail environment is great, and I felt very comfortable as a pedestrian. We walked over 16 miles in a day just roaming and exploring and still didn't see everything Center City alone. I've been wanting to go for years and am so happy I could finally see it in person. Definitely in my top 3 of best American cities I've been too.

We were only there 2 days, and then shot up to NYC for 3, but I will definitely be back out for longer in the future.

has the framing of the cooling towers surpassed the height of the tip of the Comcast Center as of yet? I can't tell from the photos & haven't been down down for a couple weeks

[Plokoon11]

Right now I assume according to schedule they ate finishing roof pour and are pouring concrete floors for the top of external elevators and under where the dampener s sit.

6 more floors of glass to the top. The spine is a few floors behind though.

The close up photos show it really "thins" out at the top. I would imagine how intimidating this building would be if the size stayed consistent up to the top before the cool tower and lantern feature.

Not yet. It's sitting at about 950 feet tall. It officially surpassed One Liberty Place in height, but not Comcast Center yet. The next set of steel will bring it up to 996 feet tall.
