This?
https://goo.gl/maps/AiUGD It's a corner lot and in fact is facing three streets - 17th, Rittenhouse, and Manning.
I'm not going to do any extensive research but the only building I can recall that's gone up in recent years that's NOT on a corner lot is AQ Rittenhouse and that's just - what? - 14 floors? I don't know if it's something to do with the zoning code or the ease of access for loading docks or what but tall buildings tend to get built on corner lots. I'm sure there's exceptions but I don't think mid-block/no corner is the norm for high rises, at least in Phila.
The block where the memorial is going has both corners occupied. The best hope is that the firehouse vacates.
