Update on this. Looks like Tenant is from out of state:

2000 Arch Street, Parkway Corporation. Robert Zirinsky presenting. Parkway Corporation has a 47 year history in Philadelphia and has 450 employees. This development (a LEED Platinum project) presents a once in a lifetime opportunity. They propose to build an office building for a single tenant who will commit to a 20 year lease. Parkway has held four meetings with near neighbors. The property (the old Avis parking lot) is zoned CMX 4. Parkway needs an-ordinance (not a variance) for an overlay height restriction relief. The historic gas station along 20th Street will be restored, relocated and funded for future maintenance. The new tenant is an out of state corporation; they are asking for no relief for existing signage restrictions. Parkway has entered into an agreement with Walden Walk as of today, to provide them amongst other things a private, funded, buffer outdoor space. They will continue to “mature our design process”. Renderings of the green wall, sky plane (step back) as of right, mechanical shields on top and sight visual impacts on adjacent buildings (Kennedy House) were shown. Numerous questions were asked about construction and delivery hours, solar shade studies and the impact on near by buildings (sight lines). Parkway noted that it will provide constant access (phone numbers) for near neighbors to address construction related issues (no deliveries between 10 pm and 5 am) and that it will enter into an NDA with LSNA. Construction is expected to take 14 months.
