Beautiful! Here are some photos I personally took of the new Comcast Innovation Center which will be Philly's new tallest at 1,121 feet tall.

WOW, no one can ever say I overdue it with pics or street-views.

But I like the FINISHED views on this sight of the Comcast Tower Philly with the Spire on it.

Don't care for the back views of the building though.....

Ditto. Haven't been back to San Francisco since 2012. Excited to go back and see the changes especially around the Transbay area.

New York (Supertall): the Big Bend.

The Big Bend: A U-shaped skyscraper that aims to be the longest in the world - CNN.com

I like it, it is being put right in front of Central Park, so will appear to be like a "gateway" of sorts to the park. Kind of a really cool concept and a really cool out-of-the-ordinary design.

Default The Mark

The tallest building U/C in Seattle right now, The Mark, is almost done with glazing installation. The angled top will be home to a solar array. This will house an SLS Hotel and undisclosed office tenants.

(Photo is mine)

A picture showing renderings of current, confirmed, and proposed development through 2020. We now know that Opus Place (the tall cylindrical tower) will be shorter than previously thought, but Atlanta is really starting to fill in the parking lot gaps in its skyline.
I want to see Atlanta go back to being tall. Atlanta had the tallest building outside of NYC or Chicago, but LA, San Fran, Philly, Miami, etc are catching up.

No.... just no from me. These skinny plain spikes and this Arch of a building that crosses over others. Is neither architecturally interesting or stunning.

Do they need to buy Air-Rights over the properties it crosses? They then can't build one that high.

But maybe we can transform NYC to a loopty-loop city across midtown? Where can it end? a catastrophe to fall over. It's scary to me as no other building is.

These needle buildings are making DUBAI LOOK AWESOME. Heck American Architects designed it and most were Chicago firms like its tallest building. Dubai builds what we can't or don't. Money no object?

Ironically, NYC pioneered and REQUIRED skyscrapers to add set-backs at elevations. PLEEEEZE NYC require it again.

I can handle this one. Under-construction.

I got a kick out of this... Architect said inspired by a trash can.

^^It has a world renown Architect. He designed this for Chicago I think broke ground looks like this with one tower built ata time.
