They will have to start demolishing taller buildings in center city to build taller buildings.

As it happens, there are still huge areas of Center City that are covered by surface lots. The blocks just north of the Convention Center, for example, between Race and Vine, and Broad and 11th, have more open lots than buildings. The area around 15th St. just north of Arch has several wide-open spaces that could take tall buildings. And then there are parking lots at several prime locations, such as 22nd & Market (north side of the street), 21st & Ludlow, 13th & Market, and the infamous former Disney Hole at 8th & Market that are crying out for skyscrapers. And is just a sample selection of parking lots in Center City that ought to disappear.
