Man, the Latern now almost fully cladded looks really good. Becasue of it translucent cladding panels, it makes it stand out from the rest of the building below. I think when lit, it will look like a beacon for Philly's future. Overall, the building gets an 8/10. Can't wait to celebrate with the first drink at 4 Seasons there. Day or night views will be amazing.

TK, is it possible for you to compress your images before uploading/sharing them?

They're great progress images but way too big to view without scrolling.

Looks great at night. Complements the other Comcast tower nicely.

I'm looking on a 20 inch monitor and I have to scroll to see the whole photo. I can only imagine this looks like total nonsense on a phone. I appreciate your posts, but there would still be plenty of detail at half the size and I think more people would be able to see them.

20 inch monitor! Looks like I gave you some new backgrounds, unless the images are too big

Can you arrange to post a smaller version which is linked through to the full size? ala Flicker?

This building is looking good; real good!
I really hope we get more buildings like this. Watching this building go up is like a weird addiction.

As a Philly outsider, I don't like the cube antenna, or whatever that is. Nice building overall though.

What a transformation of the skyline! Looks so different than even 3 years ago.

The lantern might end up being my favorite part of this building. This isn’t just some tossed on skinny antenna like Wilshire Grand. I’m excited to see how this will look at night when it’s fully illuminated.
