How exactly, is the PATCO station not a realistic goal? The PATCO line already runs through the site. They literally just have to build a new station here.

This is Brandywine Realty Trust. They get shit done. Is anything technically real until it's built? At this point, Schuylkill Yards isn't real because it hasn't been built yet. I believe the residential building is 'maybe if' scenario. It's one of the last steps of the development. Mostly the hotel and office buildings will come first, at which point, this will no longer be in the middle of a parking lot but surrounded by other high rises, mid rides and green space.
