Tallest Building
Since 2008 it holds the title of the tallest building in the city of Philadelphia, breaking the record of One Liberty Place. It has 58 floors measuring 297 meters high, which also makes it one of the 15 highest buildings in the United States. The truth is that the Comcast Center is pretty interesting and worth seeing. A mass of glass that rises and whose top seems like a hole (which it is) but it gives a special touch. Construction began in 2004 and at first was named One Pennsylvania Plaza, but finally, after several changes in direction, it's called Comcast, in honor of a television company which has its headquarters there.
Really it's just used as an office building but has the random restaurant, television sets and some little shops. There's nothing touristic about it except the fact that its the highest part of the city and shares the skyline with the Towers at Liberty Place. It isn't very hard to find, especially if you walk down Market Street just between the station and the town hall. It's just parallel but hey, it's easy to see from anywhere. The day that I saw it there were some guys cleaning the facade and it gave a lot of respect to that job. Yes, they were there a good amount of time because there were still there several hours later.
