fish, this skyscraper is being built on a lot to the immediate south of the Residences of the Ritz and right next door to the Girard Trust Tower; it's being built in proximity to the other City Hall-surrounding skyscrapers, near both Market and Broad.
Broad St. is our city's older core; the more low-slung neoclassical and Art Deco buildings are part of its charm. In older photos of Philadelphia, the center of development is along this stretch of Broad, the so-called Avenue of the Arts.
