Philly Skyline

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

For decades, the skyline of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was limited by an informal agreement that no building could exceed the height of the statue of William Penn atop City Hall - 548 ft. (167 m).  In this excellent drone video by FallRisk, you'll get a nighttime aerial view of one of the first skyscrapers to exceed this threshold - the 54 story BNY Mellon Center.  Originally the Mellon Bank Center when it opened in 1990, it stands 792 ft. tall (241 m), excluding its spire.  As of 2023, it's Philadelphia's fifth-tallest building.
