In 2013, there was a proposal to build a large business complex called the Riverfront World Trade Center. This project would include two buildings that are 22 stories tall and two buildings that are 18 stories tall. It would also feature a walkway along the Delaware River.

Skyview Tower

In October 2013, plans were announced for a new attraction near the Adventure Aquarium. This would be a 300 ft (91 m) tall observation tower.

This unique tower combines a spinning tower ride with a balloon-like gondola.
