I tend to think it's the other way around... Cira Centre 2 was delayed because BlackRock didn't decide to come to Philly. I don't anyone sees Brandywine Realty building Cira Centre without tenants, especially with ~15% vacany rate in Center City. It just doesn't make good business sense.
The parking garage is another story. That was part of the deal to bring the IRS to the old post office. But why the IRS needs such a huge parking garage next to a hub of public transit is beyond me...
