@Colin2k41 Actually, I'm pretty sure the name is going to be American Commerce Center.

[WorldTradeCenter2011]

@Colin2k41 They actually cancelled that one a few years ago.

@Colin2k41

I saw another proposed tower, it will be on the Delaware water front, it is called "The River Tower" It looks very imposing! Then there is the Trump tower, also on the Delaware to, not that magnificent, only 44 stories, it's architectural style is more suitable for Miami, I don't like it's design. And I hope they don't crap up the riverfront with gaudy casino development either.

Would the Comcast building be 16th? and Liberty place is awesome I work right behind it in the United Plaza, And Liberty place has a nice food court that saves me for lunch here and there.

[conkerkillers4]

not biggest building not even close to sears or empire state

[PhillyPartTwo]

No shit sherlock, that's why it says "It is the 17th tallest building in the United States."

[masterkungfupanda1]

Dued its still HUGE. and note to u that a building built there is taller than both of them and yes it is close. It is only 200 feet smaller than empire state and 400 feet than the sears tower. So dont give us that.

@conkerkillers4

This building broke the height limit that was in effect for decades. I saw the model for the Liberty Towers on display at the grand court in John Wanamaker's department store in 1984. I photographed this building from a hole in the ground till completion in 87". It has been called a modern version of the Chrysler building! They are building in all directions now, North up to the Vine street expressway, and westward across the river to West Philly and the Delaware waterfront to!

@conkerkillers4 945 feet aint short at all. Besides its the most beautiful skyscraper in my opinion.

[1legomaster]

No crap sherlock, 1 liberty place is the "17th" tallest building in the U.S. not the first.

[ComplicatedMODZ]
