A Changing SkylineHi! Thanks for visiting Legodelphia!
I'm currently spending the summer at Temple University's main campus, and I've had more time to explore Center City than I ever had in my life.
It bothers me that Philadelphia is experiencing so much skyscraper growth right now, because that only makes Legodelphia appear less accurate, as it lacks the city's newest features.
Two buildings I would like to include in Legodelphia are the new Murano building on West Market, and the Residences at Ritz-Carlton building behind city hall, both of which are under construction. Other additions I would like to include are the Inquirer Building at 400 N Broad Street, and the municipal court building at 1801 vine street, (adjacent and identical of the Free Library). I imagine I would wait to make these additions when (and if) the American Commerce Center is built, because if that is constructed, as the city's new tallest building, I would most likely be compelled to add it to Legodelphia. In that event, would also build the Cira Centre South complex proposed near 30th Street Station.
Murano
2101 West Market Street
The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton
1460 South Penn Square
American Commerce Center
This is proposed for 18th and Arch St in Center City. It would clearly rise above all other structures.

Update Proposal:
The above structures would go in the locations specified in the image below, if the additions were to be implimented at all. This addition plan depends mostly on whether or not the American Commerce Center and Cira South are approved for real-life construction. (Inquirer Building and 1801 Vine ommitted from image)
