This thing is going to be a bird murdering machine, ain't it.

This complex is really going to stand out with that glass especially in comparison to those older condo and apts buildings in the immediate area on the Schuylkill, they look so Soviet, grey, and depressing.

Yea, good point. They've definitely been improving.

If this is the taller of the two towers then the core is around half of it's finished height. Personally I hope its not all shiny glass.

It's not--it's the shorter of the two.

According to my model this looks around 200 feet high now

BONUS:
View down JFK blvd. They cleaned it up pretty good with new sidewalks and trees. I would like to see more plants.

This building can be seen from JFK on the other side of the river. Does a lot to add depth to the skyline.

Glass continues on building one

There was also a lot of work going on building two. Probably 5 or 6 cement trucks doing work.

This is going to look very nice along the river.

I was surprised by the impact of this building when I drove by last night. The pictures don’t do it justice. i think because comcast is in the background. Looks huge from 76 in person.

And remember - the second tower will be taller.
