Wow don't murals have to go through some sort of approval process?

This building shows promise; I wonder if there are any plans for the north wall especially because it will be see from across Dilworth Plaza and possibly due to the height of the structure as far away as Northern Liberties in the northeast. Have the architects taken this view into consideration?

Skin on this looks to be almost identical in color to the Ritz which is a bummer. Definitely not the soft blue of the renders. Viewed from a distance these buildings are going to really blend together, almost like twins.

Wow, so this building has tied its northern neighbor I see; soon its impact will be felt on the skyline from almost all directions.

Looks like sky is the limit now for this one; all we need is for it to go as high as possible; get its glass installed and then the nighttime lighting scheme!

We need more buildings of this height. After Comcast Tech, this is the tallest building under construction in the city right now.

Funny angle! Look at how far the W, RATR, and Center Square appear to be from City Hall.

It's the view from Palumbo Park at 10th and Bainbridge.

I'm starting to get concerned about that blank wall staying blank.
