I think if you polled the longtime contributors/followers on this thread, most would place Mandeville Place as the top never-built skyscraper in Philadelphia. If I recall, it was about 640 feet so quite tall but the design is absolutely stunning. Even Inga was wow'd. There were lots of fantastic projects that died in '08 (and some were more fantasy, e.g., American Commerce Tower) but Mandeville Place was the best of the bunch.
