If you drive over the Walt Whitman Bridge you will see the structure popping out pretty well

625 feet tall. So The Laurel is going to be pretty massive at this location at 599 feet.

wow, thanks. From far away they will essentially look to be the same height, that puts things in perspective.

The top of The Laurel will basically be aligned with the Blue Cross logo on IBX Tower

The Laurel will have a nice impact on the skyline from the Plateau (which would be clearer if I had a real camera

).

Has anyone noticed the windows look extremely darker than the renders or in video. Also, the cladding adjacent to the windows look like beige. In the renders and video, the building has more of a shiny and silver, chrome-like look to it. I'm wondering if that was a change from the original.

PHL10 · #**2679** Posted **Feb 24, 2021, 12:50 PM**

^^^ I'm not sure about the cladding but I think the windows are sitting in the shadows of other buildings and not reflecting light. I think they will have a silverfish sheen in general.

This morning:

Looks to me like even in direct sunlight, the windows are tinted significantly darker than in the renderings--I agree with iheartphilly:
