The tallest buildings would have been the Old City Harbor Towers II and III, which were planned as twin office skyscrapers that each rise 636 feet, with 37 floors. Old City Harbor Tower I was being planned as a residential tower, rising 435 ft, with 42 floors. The Greater Philadelphia World Trade Center would have been the shortest of all four buildings, rising 324 ft, with 17 floors. ()
