995? We've done it! We're finally in the supertall club! Oh, I wish 9-year old "I hope the ACC gets built" me could've seen this.

995' At last! Wooo! can we finally spike the ball!

You guys don't know me all that well but I've been waiting for Philly to get a 1000' building since 1986; in that year the some of the Construction workers were told that Liberty One would be 999'; sadly it wasn't.

Finally! Finally!

I'm hoping that change in cladding is just that it's not finished yet - would look super awkward if not. Not going to sweat it until it starts to look like it's finished.

Yep. That looks like 995 to me. We've got a new tallest... Feels great, doesn't it.

Wait, so now the framework has surpassed the Comcast Center at 975 feet? That's some great news for Philly! It's only a matter of time till we get a new tallest in Wilmington.

1001-1011 Jefferson Street Sign.jpg 508 feet (155 m) 35 Mixed Use Approved 2018-2020 If built, this will become the new tallest building in Wilmington and Delaware

............. Certainly will be a stand-out if built . Good luck with that ........

I think you meant to display the images. Also, I hope these projects get built to! I'm a little concerned though because nothing has seem to happen to these lots ever since 2015.

Do they do exterior steel work when it’s windy and pouring rain like this morning? Or are those just lost days that are baked into the project plan?

they wont use the crane when winds exceed a certain amount. So no lifting of steel likely means no steel work.

[The Best Forumer]

Yes... high winds (no pun intended) can be dangerous... look at Miami during Irma.

[R5Ryder]

what about just terrible rain but no wind? Do guys show up for work and get sent home?

^^^^ Wow!

Also in 2055, Carl Dranoff Jr. promises SLS will break ground soon, just waiting for that final $10 in state funding.

The last $10 is promised once the Pa. lawmakers/breakers get around to balancing the budget.
