Me and my parents drove through Center City today and I saw the crane and I said "oh nooo". I'm not NIMBY but I am glad that such a tower with a boasting height is joining the skyline, but I truly wish it was built on a different location.

What if we had...a gentlemen's agreement to never block One Liberty from being obscured /s

It is what it is. Surely it's not big enough to block it fully, you'll just have to move further west or east along the bridge?

If anything One Liberty could be seen when walking underneath the overhead railroad bridge

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can barely see this one behind the Laurel from SSB right? Seems like the damage is already done considering the Laurel is taller and already complete.

One Riverside and The Laurel did F up the gorgeous skyline view from the bridge in my opinion, but at the right spot you can get One and Two LP perfectly sandwiched with The Laurel

Can you separate the ones under construction? Kinda hard to pinpoint.

Not entirely sure what's being done here but it appears to be above ground in some way:
