PHILADELPHIA | Comcast Technology Center | 1,121 FT | 60 FLOORS

[CamphillPac]

Illuminated spire can be seen in Upper Dublin Twp. - which is a first.

The new spire/lantern can be seen from the top of the hill of Camphill Road, & along Dreshertown Road. Best view is on the crest of South Limeklin Pike.

While only about 13 miles from Center City the skyline was obstructed by the hills of northwest Philadelphia. I though for sure the first Comcast building would have been seen from my neighborhood but was disappointed when it was not.

For this late afternoon before dusk:

By far, I think this is the most flattering angle of CTC.

(^how much longer before the Mandeville Place lot gets developed...it is screaming for a high rise).

you can also see clearly from the intersection of Germantown Pike and 363 in Worcester Montgomery County - probably 20 miles

From Route 1 & 352 in Media, PA (probably the same distance) it sticks out like a sore thumb, was looking from that vantage point at about 6am this morning & it's quite dominant. What I found most interesting is that the entire spine is clearly visible despite it being a due south viewpoint, I would've thought it would be more obscured from the cooling towers down but that's not the case.

Marcos, is there a high point from West Chester that can see it? I have seen it from as far as Newtown Square on Rt 3.

The views from the Smedley Tract, when completed, should provide excellent viewing with the Ridley Creek valley substituting for Baltimore Pike.

Not that I'm aware of & I can't think of any spot where it might be possible. In full darkness with the lantern lit up would be the time to poke around & look as it would be unmistakable as opposed to the daytime, you might not even realize you're seeing a piece of it given the distance...

Yup, and that has been a long time coming

Is this still expected to open in the spring? Or is it pushed back to summer now? We definitely have to do our live skyscraper forum meetup at the bar there when it does.

CTC looking good! It's been said before, but the lights on Liberty 1 and 2 SERIOUSLY need to be made brighter.

When the buildings' crowns are lit, the visual diversity is pretty good despite philly's tallests are only a handful.

[R5Ryder]

Yeah - imagine how great it'd look if the tallest was at the site of the former Aramark building, especially if either Schuylkill Yards or 30th st. towers actually ever happen.

Nice shot...a little pan to the right and you can fit Liberty 1 and 2 into the shot. I think this is one of the few if not the only one that captures all the tallest up close. Congrats!
