This building is tall for the area and it has good presence.

The building is imposing and will really bring an urban downtown feel along Spring Garden Street; it also at night will be dramatic. If one looks from City Hall north on Broad Street the Divine Lorraine Hotel stands out as well as the highrises on Temple Campus; this will dramatically add to it and give north Broad Street new dynamism. Also looking south on Broad Street into the city the Divine Lorraine Hotel and Spring Board will frame City Hall; add to the urban feel of the city; plus it has height; its taller then the Inquirer Building.
If this building is taller then the Inquirer Building it actually affects the appearance of the city. If one comes from over the Ben Franklin Bridge; you see the city and then of course if you look north you see Waterfront Square, The Inquire Building, a building at Broad and Girard; and this will fit right in.
