That said, I do look forward to the day when that sad stretch of Market becomes an extension of our current high rise canyon (but hopefully with more mixed usage and better ground floor retail).
When the subway was built through Market West there was no there there, just that damn Chinese Wall. There is, however a subway-surface line station at 22nd, just feet away from the first phase of Brandywine's project. It's served by a number of bus routes and is a 5 minute walk from 30th St.
