I am a little curious why these are not progressing a bit faster. We continue to hear that life science space is at an extreme premium.
Philly is full of biotech companies that need 3-5 years to develop and balloon like a Spark. Even if only a few hit it big, that is still hundreds of thousands of sq feet needed. Not that these should be built on spec but Philly needs to be ready to deliver this space in that event so companies aren't lost to Princeton, Boston, others who may be able to deliver the space faster.

So does that mean when BlackRock toyed with the idea of moving to Philadelphia, that was just their NJ offices? And their headquarters is in New York City?
