What is your favorite skyscraper in Wilmington? I picked the 15 nicest, most prominent buildings for the poll; I left out other skyscrapers like One Rodney Square, the New Castle County Courthouse, Three Christina Center, Citizens Bank Center, and others, since I didn't feel like going up to 25 options. I included the newest Wilmington skyscraper, the WSFS Bank Center.
I provided some information on the buildings when I had it available.

Tough competition. Several nice ones there. If the Dupont wasn't so wide I'd go for it, but I'll pick 1201 Market (and not just for the size - that PN is such a tramp sometimes).

Yes! Thank you! That's a compliment to me!
I will say that the Brandywine Building is one of my favorites as well. I like how they light it up at night. I'd love to live there!
i hate that gap that wilmington has between the former chase manhattan building and the Pei building it just seems so empty i cant wait until the city has the money and resources to stretch the downtown area from 95 all the way to the 7th street pennsula or however you spell it lol, but did anyone ever see the projections thing on the wilmington website about the proposal for the 7th street or eastside, if so do you know if they are going to go through with the condos and the push for a national park??
