This will be taller than the society hill towers, correct? There around 300 ft, and this is 380? This will appear massive in the area

Yes, they're all approximately 292 feet tall. This will tower over them.

It seems that the angle they show in the renderings purposely creates a visual that downplays that reality.

The Towers do sit atop a big hill though, no? I would suspect that hill will offset the height difference but +/- 40 feet in terms of perception.

This will however help to create a tower canyon along 95 as the Delaware builds up, which is a big positive IMO.

Township? So your "Location: philadelphia" is not accurate?

In theory, I mean, I always tell people I live in Philly, it's not like they're gonna know township on the city border...

Should I consider the idea that it be changed? Wasnt aware that me generalizing my location would cause a potential problem.

Wow, this went vertical fast. Should start to have an impact soon. Excited to see this go up this summer.

My assumption is that most people who are active participants on this forum do not live in the city.
