Great infill….would have been better, and relieve the monotony, but using a stone base below the street level windows – to ground the building….and maybe the slightest nod to a cornice. That said, better than MOST new infill structures in any city. Fill Philly with these well built buildings.
That is a sharp looking corner!
They put a roundabout and it looks great in managing the traffic. Both buildings nicely complement each other!
