Comcast Corporation
(Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) and Liberty Property Trust (NYSE: LRY) announced today
they will jointly develop the “Comcast Innovation and Technology Center” on the
1800 block of Arch Street in Center City Philadelphia, USA.
The proposed $1.2
billion 59-story, 1,121-foot tower will neighbor Comcast Center, Comcast Corporation’s
global headquarters, and become a dedicated home for the company’s growing
workforce of technologists, engineers, and software architects.
The facility will
also create a media center in the heart of the City by becoming home to the
operations of local broadcast television stations NBC 10/WCAU and Telemundo
62/WWSI and offer space for local technology startups.
Designed by
world-renowned architect Lord Norman Foster of Foster + Partners, the glass and
stainless steel tower will complement Comcast
Center as a new energetic dimension to
Center City. The 1.517 million rentable square
foot project will include a new Four Seasons hotel and a soaring, block-long
lobby with a glass- enclosed indoor plaza accompaniment to Comcast Center’s
existing, dynamic outdoor plaza.
The lobby will
feature a restaurant and a new concourse will provide direct connections with
SEPTA’s Suburban Station, enhancing accessibility and providing new options for
commuters. The $1.2 billion mixed-use tower is expected to be the tallest
building in the United States
outside of New York and Chicago
and will be the largest private development project in the history of Pennsylvania.
