Put the pictures from groundbreaking in here.

Philly BOOM!

Just two notes - change the groundbreaking date to April 12, 2005. :)

And could the person hosting the rendering possibly reduce the size to make the page easier to load. It'll get top heavy with renderings and photos I'm sure.

^Done.:)

Gracias. I've inserted one of the renderings in the rundown update.

Nice tower.

yes PHILLY BOOM!!!!!

You guys are SOBs - more construction!?

What currently sits on this site? The Building seems to blend well with it's surroundings.

BTW, the last picture shows some spendid density. I love how that lowrise neighborhood crashes right into a sea of highrises.

yuck!!!

The Building does go well with the surroundings and i like how the ground floor has a throw back look to it

Nice link for more info about this project and the Philadelphia Theatre Company little dated though (Oct 13th 2004)

That is South Philly "crashing" into Center City. South Philly is probably one of the densest places in the USA.

The theater is at the base of the parking?? That's pretty cool.
The view from the pictures on their site is amazing... I bet it'll be awesome at night. *drool*

Too bad more forumers didn't show, it was a nice event. I was given two promo kits and got up and personal with some of the big shots. Plus free lunch!

Straight from Carl Dranoff's mouth, "How tall? 350 feet."

KILLER SCOOP!

And dude, Street was eyeballin' you in that group shot.

Awesome stuff. I'm sorry I missed it.

Height/350 feet? Check.

Swinefeld, That is just excellent coverage! Who needs The Inquirer or Daily News.

Thats too funny, the mayor posed for Swinefeld or maybe the mayor is cross-eyed.

Great job Swinefeld

great news for philly. I just hope one day construction will begin on 1441 Chestnut and/or the ritz carlton, but that could be many months away.
