Roughly another 14-15 stories to go. That is if the floor count doesn't include the area below Chestnut Street. This will look huge coming down the expressway, in a year or so will disappear due to the FMC Tower. The FMC Tower is going to be imposing.

15 more floors. Anything below Chestnut Street does not count. And that doesn't include the crown of the building. With the height of the crown, it will technically be a 36 story building.

And I think FMC Tower will look out of place at first until the rest of the area gets built up.

This is turning out to be quite the skyline changer! The Lancaster Walk view is a nice surprise, too.

Up to the 20th floor now.

Just think, if the old design was kept, there would only be 2 more floors to go.

I don't mind. There is retail facing 30th street, and on the opposite side there is more than enough room build a highrise in front of it over the rail tracks.

Before you know it, she'll be asking to borrow the car keys.

And then, she'll be introducing you to "the new guy in her life": a tall, shiny, 47-story young buck who sets her heart aflutter and who just moved in next door.

<-----them

<-------you

Oh wait, sorry, thought I was on the "Parents of Teenagers" forum for a moment.

Would be cool if they repurposed the parking to have some commercial on the ground floor.

You might want to walk down 30th St. sometime.
