towerjunkie Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I have this feeling that if someone brought back the Bank of the Southwest tower people in Philadelphia would start saying that we copied them when little did they know the Bank of the Southwest tower was the precursor to the Liberty place towers in Philly.

HoustonBoy Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 As great as it'd be to get another super tall, Im really happy it wasnt this one (BoS). The layout is bad, it's very unurban, and it is honestly not the best looking tower IMO. But beggars can't be choosers and I wouldn't complain one bit if this were to go up tomorrow.

BuzzBuzzDylan Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Definitely uptown, you'd get a nice view of the skyline and the number of new luxury projects going in there are awesome (Belfiore, Astoria, Place des Vosges, all of InTown Homes', etc) Obviously you'd have to have a fat wallet, but it would be amazing to live somewhere like the Belfiore.

Marcus Allen Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yes, to the above reply. I would love to see a modern version of that tower in DT. OR something akin to the Shanghai tower or NYs BofA in DT. I love the Williams Tower in UT and think it should reign supreme in that area for a few more decades, BUT would love to see a residential tower approaching that height. As for MT, I think keeping towers at 500 ft is sufficient for the present time. A supertall in DT symmetrically placed I think would tie the somewhat haphazard skyline together. Sort of like the Library Tower did for LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Allen Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sorry, the first part of my reply was regarding the BoSW tower in DT that was cancelled. But reading the other posts, I have altered my view. Maybe not a modern version, because yes, it would seem to mimic the one in Chicago and the twins in Philly. But, I would like that idea of a tapered top with spire. I think it would do wonders for DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
