One of my favorites....As I've said, line up the Schuylkill river mid to high rises.

I mean...I don't want to steal thunder here, but I literally made the exact same post on page 14.

Glad to see that I'm not alone

the width of these buildings viewed from north/south might actually help balance out the awkwardness of ctc’s width in the skyline

The addition of the smaller PS2 sealed the deal for me...

Sorry if this has been asked before - are they building both towers right away or phased?

The posts for the garage,

from 30th St, sunrise, 10/24:

this view is so much denser than back in the day, and will be even more so with this project!

from LP, 10/29:

Update from Building Philly (10/30):
Is that the base of the core for the first tower?

^Yeah, appears that way.
Remember the taller of the two towers is closest to JFK and built at a slight angle, then there's the garage area and linking part between the two towers.

See pages 9-10:

I'm excited about this project. It will add some much needed density to that area and make the walk from the Art Museum to the South Street bridge along the Schuylkill trial all the more interesting. The Schuylkill trail for that matter too.
