I like it too, and it's cheaper than the other one :P

simple and nice!

hmm.. why 475 ft and not 475 m :D

Another great piece of art from SCB!!

Only that they should add some more creativity, most of their works look the same to me just with a different curves.

Good news, one more perfect highrise to the Philly skyline

That night shot is simply beautiful. What a great addition to Philly's skyline.

It's not just the tall buildings, the skyline, the tree lined avenues and boulevards ... but believe me, Philly is a beautiful, wonderful, historic city. Full of grace and charm. Lovely parks and squares. Statues and fountains. Visiting the States? Visit the City of Brotherly Love!
