Not everyone will agree, but I think this project turned out very nice. It definitely added a level of style to the Schuylkill waterfront. And the Giant is awesome.

Agree 100%! It adds balance to skyline view from 76 Eastbound. And it pulls your eye away from the hideous low-rises, such as Edgewater.

I actually liked this design MORE than the weird cubist design that came before it. Even if I wish this was taller, this is really good for the Philly waterfront.

I wish the southern tower was around a third taller than the northern one. As is, the difference is 4 or 5 floors?

These came out great, much better than what I expected from the renderings.

4 stories. 28 vs 32. I agree.

I really like this development. It has a pinch of Vancouverism thrown in too. And i think it fits in perfectly. Maybe its a precursor to more vancouverism styled developments around the city. That would be interesting to see imo
