The American Commerce Center is a supertall skyscraper proposed for construction in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At 1,500 feet (457 m) tall with 63 floors, the building would dominate the Philadelphia skyline, standing over 500 ft (150 m) taller than the recently completed Comcast Center.[1] The 1,500 ft (457 m) office tower, which would rise on the 19th Street side of Arch Street, and be connected to a 473 ft (144 m), 26 story hotel tower and public plaza along the 18th Street side of the block.[3] The connection consists of a multi-story skybridge with a garden on top.[2]
If constructed, it would be one of the ten tallest buildings in the world (should no other proposals be constructed sooner than the ACC) and it would be taller than the Sears Tower. After the Chicago Spire and the Freedom Tower, it would be the 3rd-tallest building in the United States.[4]
Of several supertall skyscrapers proposed for Philadelphia (including the Center City Tower and an early version of Comcast Center), this would be the first to be constructed.[5]
