    Liberty Place - Philadelphia, PA A prominent property in the central business district, Liberty Place was the tallest building in Philadelphia until the development of Comcast Center (2007). The first building to exceed the height of William Penn statue, atop historic Philadelphia’s City Hall, Liberty Place led to the transformation of Philadelphia’s skyline. Architecture & Design Features Tallest building in Philadelphia from completion until 2007 (Comcast Center building). Design inspired by New York City’s Chrysler Building. Postmodernism skyscraper design, incorporating gabled straight angular setbacks. One Liberty Place has a 47 foot long steel spire atop the building. Façade color ranges from blue, gray, and silver tones, with horizontal banding to de-emphasize the height of the structure. Two Liberty Place comprises a similar design with fewer gabled setbacks resulting in the tower having a more squat appearance. The two towers’ steel structure are supported by eight large pillars at the buildings’ perimeters and a central core that contain elevators and other common area elements. The tower exterior is comprised of granite, aluminum, and glass panels, with the percentage of glass increasing at the uppermost portion of the building. The majority of the exterior lower level façade is comprised of stone. The mall’s prominent feature comprises a round atrium topped by a large glass dome. PROJECT SUMMARY Project Description Liberty Place One and Two were Philadelphia’s tallest buildings from their completion in 1987/1990 until the development of Comcast Center in 2007. At the base of the two towers, is the 143,000 SF Shops at Liberty Place, parking garage, and 289 room Westin Hotel (prior Ritz-Carlton).

The proposed 57-story office tower, which was designed by world-renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern, will be the tallest skyscraper in Philadelphia at 975 feet. The building will eclipse One Liberty Place, Philadelphia's tallest building since 1987 at 945 feet. In fact, the skyscraper will be the tallest building between New York City and Chicago. Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq:CMCSA) will make the tower its new corporate headquarters, and has signed a 15½-year lease to initially occupy 544,000 square feet on 24 floors, or about 44% of the building's rentable space. Groundbreaking for the project occurred in March 2005 and construction is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2007. "We are excited and honored to have been selected to participate in the construction of this landmark project," said Michael V. Griffin, P.E., Senior Vice President in charge of Hill's Philadelphia office. Hill International, with over 550 employees in 21 offices worldwide, provides program management, project management, construction management and construction claims services.
