I'm liking this building and looking forward to watching it rise.
Would also like to see a 700 footer and perhaps something in the 900-1000 foot range in that vicinity as it would expand the skyline as viewed from the east and west. Just mentally visualizing based on the photo above. |

"I will tell you that, um, the start for demolition is approximately the fall of 2014, assuming approval, and construction approximately two years thereafter. " The above quote makes it sound like it would not start construction until 2016 or so. I'm sure they just left out the word "completed." Would there be any reason that demo would start in 2014... and they would not start construction until 2016? Even the below quote is not 100% concrete in regards to the completion ET. @05:29 "So, by 2017, we are very hopefully that, um, that this project, SLS International will be constructed and take its place on the skyline." |

This will push W Hotel back to the 10th tallest in the city. -151 room luxury boutique SLS hotel -126 luxury condominium units -SLS signature restaurant and bar on the corner of Broad and Spruce -Rooftop lounge, fitness center, 75 foot pool, 6,000 sq ft ballroom on top of podium facing the Kimmel Center http://www.phila.gov/CityPlanning/pr...Submission.pdf |
Beautiful building. What a fantastic addition to Philadelphia.
If you are going to make it 590 feet, might as well make it 601. ;) |
So this building was originally 47 stories and 567 feet. But now it's 46 stories but 590 feet? Hmmm. I wonder what design changes made the building 23' taller, but dropped one floor.

So they are kicking out Philadelphia International Records.

Looked like some equipment there yesterday cleaning up the lot, assuming this wont be another beer garden this year it appeared to be removing everything back to dirt on the empty lot part.
