I can see covid making it harder for commercial and residential, not Science/medical.

The thing to keep in mind is not how things are today, but how they will be in 2-3 years (if they started construction now.) Hopefully this stupid pandemic will be history by then. Meds and eds will always be major drivers of the philly economy, but not the only ones. There will be a need for conventional office space, not just space dedicated to medical research. I am cautiously optimistic that this will be built soon, and that it won't necessarily depend on the medical industry.
