Anything to cut back the immense, soulless swaths of suburban office parks.

In a way, I think the Navy Yard attracts a similar type of company - other than Urban Outfitters, which went for the space and post industrial setting in addition to the incentives (but they would never have gone to the edge Camden) - so I suspect that the Campbell's campus might offer a partial competing alternative to the Navy Yard, but not Center City for the most part.
Interestingly Brandywine's major regional rival is Liberty Property, which controls the Navy Yard. So this Campbell's deal might give Brandywine a competing product in this niche which it doesn't have for now.
