"For nearly 100 years no building in Philadelphia dared to challenge the height of City Hall. An unwritten agreement that the statue of William Penn atop the spire on the Hall would remain the highest point of the city kept the skyline free of any structure higher than 491 feet. Willard Rouse, developer of the tower, lobbied for a high-rise zone district in the heart of the city. Although this idea encountered great controversy, the plan for One Liberty Place was eventually approved by virtue of the prospective increase in revenue and jobs. Also it would open the way for even more such buildings."

Algún dato y foto mas del Two Liberty Place:

Arquitecto: Murphy/Jahn

"Two Liberty Place is one of Philadelphia’s premier office towers. The property is part of the Murphy/Helmut Jahn designed Liberty Place Development, which also includes the nearly identical One Liberty Place, a 1.2 million square foot office tower, a 144,000 square foot upscale retail concourse, and a Westin Hotel.

The property is located in the Market Street West submarket between Market and Chestnut Streets in the heart of Philadelphia’s CBD. The location offers superb conveniences with its close proximity to hotels, the finest retail on Walnut Street and the City's most exquisite dining options at Rittenhouse Square. Access to public transportation is excellent with the 30th Street Station nearby and Suburban Station within walking distance of the property, both of which offer service to Philadelphia’s International Airport and SEPTA commuter rail services."
