Tower construction timeline?

Not sure why they're saying the three towers to the south of Market will be the last to be built. Also not sure why this needs to take 20+ years. If it were me planning this site, I would plan it as such:

2016-2017: Park and Bulletin construction

2017-2019: 31st & JFK Office/ground floor retail tower construction - 375 FT

2018-2020: 30th and Chestnut - ground floor retail, 6 floors of office space, relocate all labs at 3101 Market to here. Topped with a luxury apartment tower - 520 feet

2020-2023: 3100 block of JFK - simultaneous construction of tallest tower and second tower as well as "grove" green space in between. Tallest tower a mix of office space, hotel space, and luxury apartments with ground floor retail - between 1,075 feet and 1,187 feet. Second tower, all office space with ground floor retail - 380 feet.

2022-2024: 3100 block of JFK tallest tower - mix of office, hotel and luxury apartments with ground floor retail - 705 feet

2024-2026: 3100 block of JFK smaller tower - luxury apartments with ground floor retail - 420 feet

2026-2028: 31st and Market tower - mixed of office and luxury apartments with ground floor retail - 370 feet

2028-2030: 30th and Market tower - office space with ground floor retail - 405 feet

14 years and done!
