Description
- Architect: Kohn Pedersen Fox
- Developer: Walnut Street Capital

- The American Commerce Center is planned to be the third tallest building in the United States after the 150 floor Chicago Spire and 108 story Freedom Tower in New York City.

- At 1,500 feet to the spire, the American Commerce Center would surpass the Comcast Center as Philadelphia's tallest building, and would be the tallest building in the United States between Chicago and New York City.

- The American Commerce Center would only be the 3rd tallest building in the United States because of its massive spire, without it, it would be the 7th tallest building in the USA by roof height.

- Construction is estimated to start Summer 2009 with an estimated completion in 2011.

Budget:$800,000,000
