I think you're asking the wrong question. Considering the graveyard of proposals that is Penn's Landing, and that I believe that this is easily the largest proposal EVER? for Philly, and its being sponsored by a very conservative, take no risks, NYC developer (that's well funded), I think the question for many of us who have more years behind us then in front of us, is will we be dead before this even starts. Remember all Durst has 'won' is the right to have further talks about what they might like to do. There's no promise to do anything. Once Durst has to start spending serious money is when I'll start seeing light at the end of the tunnel.
SY's is a project where the developer already controls most if not all the site and is working with Drexel Univ. and they have one growing company, Sparks, already asking for more space, more then their one building can give them. My dime would be that SY's would be well on its way to being built out before Penn's Landing starts construction.
