A city ordinance declared that no building within 250 feet of the nearby Benjamin Franklin Parkway can rise higher than 250 feet. As such, the Bell Atlantic Tower stands at the southernmost edge of its plot, farther away from the parkway, to take full advatage of its height. A landscaped plaza built with the same red granite the building itself is constructed of was built on the rest of the land, also fulfilling a city requirement that 1% of the total budget for new building construction must go towards a work of public art. A banquet hall, known as Top Of The Tower, exists on the top floor of the building and is available for public rentals. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
