Also, the addition of CITC - wow. With how the Phillies are these days, I'll be looking at the skyline more so than the play on the field.

Now, if only 1919 Market St develops into a big tower filling in that space between Blue Cross/Blue Sheild building and the Commerce Sq towers..., like a 800 ft'er say... whoa!

Yeah, but will it block EVO?

Beautiful photos, by the way, thanks for sharing.

Probably not because of the angle. I believe Cira Centre's east facade is on the same street, so FMC will probably appear just to the left of Evo when viewing it from the stadium.

I was walking down the trail from the sculpture garden at Girard trying to imagine how it's going to look. It's going to look massive. I think I've even more excited about FMC than CITC simply because of its location.

You know what I love about these pics? A decade ago the western edge of the skyline was so barren. In the past 10 years, we've had Cira Center, Murano, 2116 Chestnut, and now Evo. What's amazing is now we'll have FMC, CHOPs tower and Riverside all filling out that western edge, so much progress to look forward to!!

I can't wait until the entire central Schuylkill Banks is lined with high-rises. It will be like the Chicago River but with a park. Bonus!

I dont think Schuylkill will ever look like Chicago river due to the fact Philadelphia is for the most part built between the rivers and Chicago is more built on the river.

Things can change. With the growth of Ucity and the proposed/Approved FMC tower, Chop Complex and drexel planning the river will surely be engulfed by high-rises on both sides. 10-15 years ago, to suggest that there would be this kind of expansion to the west was unheard of. Now we have a 730 ft monster west of the river.

Let it sink in....
