How come nobody thought of this before?

Looking at recent photos, the concrete pump has been removed. Concrete must be done and I'm expecting the crown to be steel

Hope to see this as well. Have only ever seen South & Southwest renderings. Hmm...

I’m really surprised how big this building looks when viewed from south broad. I kind of expected it to be a wash since it’s not that much bigger than the building it’s replacing in that view (RATR), but it actually appears much bigger than I thought. Hopefully it peaks out enough from the opposite view to make an impact there as well.

Yeah it makes a huge difference on Chestnut and Broad. You really can't appreciate how much of a difference it makes unless you go down there.

Also, I really like the look of this building too!
Definitely an improvement over my version. Much thanks!

^How so is my version not as accurate? It seems that my setbacks are a little off but besides that, I don't think its that inaccurate

Your version is cooler. It looks to have setbacks both along Chestnut and 15th street. The real thing only has setbacks in the East/West directions running along Chestnut. The depth of the building will running the 15th street direction will remain the same from bottom to top.

I didn't realize how thin this building was on the east/west axis.

I'm not SAYING that is a UFO. I'm just saying there is no other possible explanation.

It is a UFO, in that it is a flying object that is unidentified. Doesn't mean it's a flying saucer from Neptune, just that we don't know *what* it is.

Unidentified? Yeah. Right. We know exactly what it is. You guys are just in total denial. They are here. They are among us. The evidence is right there and you guys refuse to believe your own eyes. Why? You're afraid of what people will think? That you're weird? Different? Gay?
