I agree that this design is much better, although I don't mind the design of 1919 Market either, but you have to remember that 1: land in University City does not have the taxes that land in Center City has because most of the land is owned by nonprofits who do not pay taxes, therefore it is not as expensive to build. 2: While they are both 28 floors high, this tower will top out around 320 feet while the 1919 Market tower will rise over 350 feet. So we're getting more height with the 1919 tower.
