I don't think the Philly.com domain allows hotlinking. Imgur is good for that.

Thanks. What's hotlinking?

Basically the domain is set up to not allow people on a different domain to link to it externally. I'm pretty sure that's why the [img][/img] tags just showed up as plain text.

Higher resolution render (also posted in East market thread)

That looks to be a pretty awesome facade actually. Though it still sucks to lose the old front, this is a worthy replacement! The designers of the proposed Lit Brothers tower should take note

A 270 degree photo of city. Some projects included. Not the greatest shot.

Thanks Flyers, nice shot.

Of course one of my favorite angles of the city skyline is coming north on 95 from Delaware as you cross the Platt Bridge. Unfortunately, the northbound side is on the bottom deck and so the views of the city are somewhat obstructed https://goo.gl/maps/NELb9

Meanwhile, southbound traffic uses the upper deck giving drivers a completely unobstructed view of blah. https://goo.gl/maps/sSw0t

This setup always annoyed the heck of out me.

Feels good to finally get that very minor itch off my chest!

Girard Point bridge carries 95. Platt carries 291. I'm pretty sure very few are aware of the name of our only double decker bridge, I dont think its shown on a sign anywhere.

Good news, although this is at the metro level.

Does anyone know if they release these types of numbers just for Philadelphia?

Ive seen stuff that pertains to center city market. I just read something the other day, perhaps on PBJ site about rents in center city. I belive it said vacancy increased slightly and rents climbed slightly. Average rent was over $2100 in center city.
