This tower is quite impressive for its size. It does a ton for the skyline from numerous angles and definitely exceeded my expectations, especially when compared to the other more-recent high rise developments in Pittsburgh. Great photos, all around.

PNC built two very nice green certified Gensler designed towers since 2008. Both are very impressive and added to Pittsburgh's compact skyline.

What an impressive addition to the great Pittsburgh skyline. Remembering the city from my childhood days living in the Hill District. Still one of the great skylines of America.

I took the photo below on 11/25/2021 at around the same location, showing that FNB has greatly enhanced and modernized this view:

Yes I'm familiar with both of those, and I was specifically thinking of them. Green certifications aside, this tower's presence just feels more impactful to me than either of those two. Maybe because of its peripheral location and intense blue glazing.

Thanks for the photos, wpip and photlith!

Don’t discount the black framing. It’s very sleek and modern. I agree with you but the Tower @ PNC Plaza did fill a void in the skyline. This new tower expands the skyline to the east. The unobstructed views are impactful.

It just occurred to me that this is currently the 2nd tallest building under construction in PA! The tallest is Philly's New Patient Tower.

FNB Bank signage was added sometime this week.

I took this photo around 1 PM today:

I really like the milky translucent crown. I am patiently waiting for the lobby and landscaping to take shape. The grounds should blend well the the adjacent deck park.
