What's the glass overhanging building in the foreground? A Drexel college?

Looking at the webcam in the storm tonight. The LED's are cycling. Looks like a scene from Blade Runner. Very cool.

So glad to see the hotel starting to rise! Hard to believe it still has about a third of the way to go!

Just drove by it tonight. Couldn't believe how big beautiful and bright it was at night. The colors matched Cira 1 and, not gonna lie, I kinda had a moment. I saw greatness and it isn't even finished.

I wonder if they can give Liberty 1 and 2 some pointers on how to properly use LED lighting. The crowns are horribly dim.

Hard to believe this thing still has 25+ more stories to go - it's going to look enormous in its context.

Yeah I wonder if they made the LED switch a bit early and the technology was not fully there yet? Or do they have the crown light dimmer set to 1 for cost savings?

More like 18 more stories to go--plus the crown, of course, which does look like it will be equivalent to several more stories (maybe even 7 or so). But you're right--it WILL look enormous in its context.

Long a complaint of mine. As I mentioned once upon a time on some thread, you could see the Christmas tree-like top of One Liberty from 322 in South Jersey in the right spot on a clear night. Now you can barely see any lighting until you're in Center City.

could also have to do with 2 liberty going residential. Maybe super bright lights that close woudl have been an issue to residents?
