Is PUI bannable on Skyscraperpage?

Looks like Wm. Penn on steroids ... but still a damn neat shot .

kraggman · #**3165** Posted **Sep 12, 2018, 5:56 PM**

^^^^ Amazing shot !!!! ^^^^

It's an amazing shot but damn does that wall need to be covered.

Hell yes, but I don't see any anchorage being fixed prior so who knows what cladding or finishing its going to receive.

Great advertisement space for a Wendy's banner.

Beautiful picture as always TallCoolOne. Is that Wilmington in the background just to the right of William Penn's hat? Or is that Philly airport?

Some new windows to ogle:

I don't know. That's definitely not the airport, but Wilmington is further away than that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say those buildings are Wilmington; I think from that view Philly International is blocked from the W Hotel. If it stops raining I'll go over to City Hall from my office and go up in the tower to confirm it I guess.

I think on a clear day you can see 30 miles out from City Hall.

Urbanthusiat · #**3173** Posted **Sep 18, 2018, 6:33 PM**

I'm quite certain that area is the area between Chester/Folcroft. You can barely see Wilmington from the Liberty 1 observation deck on a clear day. It's not Wilmington, it's way too close.

jonesrmj · #**3174** Posted **Sep 19, 2018, 1:18 AM**

Wait. Did the height of this building increase? On the diagram, it now says 188 meters (616 feet)

I actually did see Wilmington pretty clear from the One Liberty Observation Deck on a very clear day.

You can see the lantern and tops of CTC and Comcast Center from on top of the 1303 Delaware Ave apartment building in Wilmington (which is approx. 189 ft tall).

From the rooftop bar/restaurant at the new Cambria Hotel (Attico).

eixample · #**3177** Posted **Sep 19, 2018, 1:16 PM**

Love those photos^

I don't recall ever seeing a shot of the Bellevue from that angle. Such a beautiful building. That rooftop bar looks great.

Justin7 · #**3178** Posted **Sep 19, 2018, 1:39 PM**

Is Attico open (if so, how was it?) or is this just a "photo visit"?

It's very nice, and yes, it is open. The views are great obviously. Good cocktails - some beers. I didn't have any food, but there are bar snacks. And a restaurant menu will be available shortly. Cocktail prices aren't horrible, like $12 (for one of their specialty ones), considering the views.

Nice. Will have to try an old fashion there. My favorite is at Urban Farmers. Best drinks there. BTW...really great updates on all the photos today. They were sharp!
