An inside view

So this isn’t a write up about a website, instead it’s about me finally getting a chance to check out the Comcast Center.

It’s not officially open yet, even though many floors are now occupied on a daily basis. Since my team won’t be moving in for some time we decided to have lunch there and get a sneak peak of what’s in store. The weather wasn’t the best for getting a good view but I captured a few shots that hopefully give an idea of what it’s like to be there.

Worlds Tallest Buildings

Recently they announced a new skyscraper to be built in Philadelphia called American Commerce Center. It’s proposed to be built just across the street from Philadelphia’s current tallest building, the Comcast Center. The American Commerce Center boasts it will be the tallest in the Western hemisphere…because there is no one this side of the Atlantic that is proposing anything even close to what’s being built in Dubai.

Currently there are nine skyscrapers in the mist of construction that are near (or taller) to the American Commerce Center. This includes the soon to be World’s tallest, Burj Dubai, at 800+ meters tall it dwarfs just about everthing else. Though this honor looks to be short lived as they are already proposing a taller building to be built less then 10 miles away. Until then Burj Dubai is king and it’s website shows you all the reasons why it’s the biggest and the best.
