University Impact: Comcast Effect:

A new $1.5 billion patient pavilion is underway, with 700-beds (and 50 operating rooms) planned.

The company is taking 1.28 msf of office space in the newly-constructed Innovation and

Technology Center (which, at a cost of $1.2 billion, will mark the tallest building in the United

States outside of New York and Chicago).

The company has announced the formation of a new enterprise led by its CFO that

will focus on investments in global growth businesses, with $4 billion in investment

capital coming from Comcast directly.

Preparations for a 563,000 sf development along the Schuylkill River have started.

A preliminary strategy is developing for 10 sites and 6.4 msf from 30th to 32nd Streets and

Market Street to JFK Boulevard
