Great photos! Thanks for posting!

That's actually going to be a really nice view from 12th & Chestnut when everything is wrapped up. The park, the shiny new tower, the beautifully rehabbed building with the WeWork emblem on it, and the prewar highrises. Looking forward to it

How did you get up there? Would you allow a photographer and a journalist to come up and join?

Do you happen to know what that two-story cinderblock looking structure is on the west side of the site? i drive by pretty often and i hadn't seen that until today.

Funny i asked the same question today, was told they are ventilation ducts from the underground parking.

Temporary structures until the other building gets started.

I remember they had temporary generators on the north terrace of the CTC. I thought they were the AC units that would be lifted to the cooling towers, but I was wrong

Why would they do that with 5 floors of cladding yet to be completed?

They did it with One uCity Square, the Drexel Med building, the Clinical Collaboration Building, etc. Just use a roof crane.

Cost is a factor too. Tower cranes are very expensive to rent.

Same with Arthaus, The Laurel, W/Element (lots of singular panels missing), and the Comcast Technology Center ("spine" glass was unfinished). FMC needed the crane to stay on site after the glass was finished to lift up the signage

Tower cranes are not typically used for cladding.

they usually use smaller mobile cranes on the floors to set all the glass.

It's nice to see a contemporary building (wish it was taller) with real style. As opposed to the typical bargain basement blue glass blocks we have been seeing in Philly as of late. This building has the style of a NYC type building, just shorter. If this building was in NYC it would be twice as tall.
