Yes! At long last, Philadelphia will soon have a proper observation deck!

Today, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced that Montparnasse 56 Group is bringing a brand new observation deck experience to Philadelphia in Summer 2015.

Montparnasse 56 (or M56) — a Parisian-based company that operates observation decks in the John Hancock Tower in Chicago and the Montparnasse 56 Tower in Paris — will be building the observation deck on the 57th floor of One Liberty Place in downtown Philadelphia.

More details, including the observation deck’s official name, are still to come so stay tuned.

But for now, suffice it to say we are extremely excited about this news.

There are currently only a few spots around the city that offer sky-high views of Philadelphia, including the City Hall Tower Observation Deck, R2L and Nineteen.

So we’re thrilled that Philadelphia is soon going to have an actual observation deck for visitors and residents to access for some amazing skyline views and the accompanying photography and Instagrams.
