They are trying to consolidate all their operations to S. Broad Street in two buildings. The PNB bank building at One South Broad, and the other old bank fortress building on Broad between Sansom and Walnut.

Campbell's Soup backed off their threat to move out of Camden, probably because when they looked they found that Camden is still the dirt cheapest area they can operate in for the entire northeast region. Their plant has to be located close by otherwise the quality of their product will suffer [shelf life gets shortened the farther the plant is from customers].
The Sears Building will stay and possibly will get renovated now that it has been purchased. Campbell's expansion will move forwards with their low-rise (2 floor max?) office complex. Campbell's for some reason has an aversion to building taller buildings to maximize their real estate---they wanted to spread out and use all the land they had control over.

Any guesses?

I could see a number of companies (Aon, for instance) coming to the city to occupy 20 or more floors and try to strike a naming deal out the pre-lease agreement.

Nothing would please me more than to see Verizon corporate relocate next to Comcast's tower, move out of New York, and stick the tower up Comcast's ass.
If you move all the NYZ peons out of NYC to Philadelphia, Verizon could probably slash their DSL rates by 3-4 dollars and undercut cable internet even more.
