If we can get something built in these locations in the 30 to 45 story range it would really, really expand the skyline and with the right night time lighting scheme it could impact the entire city skyline as dramatic as Saint James Condo or FMC Tower does!
Does anyone know why we haven't had anything really over 20 floors?

Developers don't build to build tall... they build to meet demand. The Science Center is building to meet demand. We may see another building or two over 20 floors at the Science Center, but I wouldn't expect more than that.
Hospitals DEFINITELY don't build tall to just build tall. They're building to meet their current demands and space needs. CHOP did just build a 23 story building at Schuylkill Ave and South Street.
I would say we can expect buildings over 20 floors at the CHOP/Penn main med campus in the future if they keep building like they are.
