Editing Two Liberty Place (section)

== Urban Context ==

Two Liberty Place occupies a prominent position in Center City, its tower visible from considerable distances and its base contributing to street-level activity. The Liberty Place development as a whole—including both towers and connecting retail spaces—created a destination that draws office workers, shoppers, and visitors. The development's relationship to City Hall, visible along the axis of 17th Street, creates dialogue between traditional civic monument and contemporary commercial towers.<ref name="thomas"/>

The building's construction continued the skyline transformation that One Liberty Place had initiated, demonstrating that Philadelphia's development community could sustain high-rise construction beyond a single landmark project. The subsequent development of Comcast Center and Comcast Technology Center continued this trajectory, creating a Center City skyline of considerable vertical presence. Two Liberty Place contributed to and benefited from this transformation, its success both encouraging and depending upon Center City's growing vitality.<ref name="gallery"/>
