They've been slowly buy surely closing the gap for the last couple of weeks. I just want it done though; seeing the thing with all of its glass would be awesome.

I'm looking forward to the groundfloor and lobby completing and the commercial tenants moving in. Not sure what the ETA on that is. But I would hope they are all in by summer.

Developers must be pleased here, and in general, at the relatively mild weather this winter. No unforeseen delays as they march toward completion.

FMC is 96% leased.

1919 Market is 76 percent leased and 68 percent occupied. Office and retail space there is fully leased and occupied.

^^1919 Market is leasing quick.

That's huge that FMC Tower is 96% leased. Time for the next office tower in University City.

Great news for Brandywine. Here's hoping this'll only encourage them to get a jumpstart on Schuylkill Yards

I imagine their next step is Amtrak's rfp at the 30th and JFK site. They also have 2120 Market in their pocket.

They've been building up cash from sold properties for the last 6-9 months. Hopefully, they will deploy the cash in one of the named projects.

Great pic (also on the CTC thread). That bridge is one of the best places to look at the skyline. I notice that the cranes are completely gone. I guess all that's left is all of that missing glass on the south facade.

Philadelphia already had a great skyline but I would definitely call it a finalist for most improved over the past 10 years. The two new Comcast towers and FMC have been game changers.

That is why I say they should spread out the skyline instead of squeezing all the tall buildings together because 3 Logan Square would also standout that way for sure.

Density is the result of demand, you can't just dictate where somebody builds a high rise because the skyline will look better from 10 miles out. NYC has 40 skyscrapers higher than 3 Logan Square. 40!!

did anyone else notice how many messed up panes of glass there are on this building? I saw this driving north on 76 over the weekend. Are they waiting for replacement sections to the curtain wall?
