Nice new pics, summers! With the most recent of the new floors above the transition floor, this is now starting to look actually tall to me. Maybe it's the growing discrepancy with Evo's height, but I feel like we've hit a visual milestone!
If you compare this to One Riverside, Riverside has only constructed 3 floors compared to this project which added 4 floors in half the time.
Keep up the good work guys!
It's not possible to compare the complicated lower floors or other non-standard floors of a building to standard-build upper floors. This one stalled on the transition floor for many weeks (which is what happens). But they are both doing great and looking good!

While heading west on 76 I passed next to this construction. Taking that route you clearly/quickly see the resurgence of Philly, cranes sprouting up in all directions. Some towers are budding in their infancy while others are becoming prominent fixtures in the skyline. This particular construction has quickly become my favorite from its architectural elements as well as the juxtaposition it serves next to the 1930’s era militaristic/neoclassic beauties. I love these two designs playing off of each other, the rigor formed from rock and elegance of sculpted ice/glass. Dare I stay, inverted ice stalactites.
Someone should take one of those shots above and make an outline for the rest of the tower, just to see how much more there is to go. But it seems that there is way more to go!

I'm not good with photoshop but here's a real similar rendering to Summer's pic:
Just by counting the floors, it looks like 25 or 26 up to the transition, and then 24 (slightly shorter floors) after that, so the glass is really only 50-60% (accounting for the shorter floor height) done. Kind of crazy to think that the glass portion is barely half way up (based on the highest point on the east side).
