[edit] tallest building

the comcast center WILL NOT be the talles structure between ny and chicago as the bank of american builing in atlanta is taller. or does the south not count? see: Bank of America PlazaDirk Pitt 16:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_United_States I have changed the firs para to read "It will also be the tallest structure in the northern United States between New York City and Chicago, stripping away that title from the Key Tower in Cleveland, Ohio." which is correct.Dirk Pitt 16:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

looking at it further i can see where the prob. lies, the comcast center is/will be 975 ft tall with 57 floors. Bank of America Plaza is 1,023 ft tall with 55 floors. looks like people thing floors are always the same height. Dirk Pitt 16:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
This whole statement seems kind of silly. It's not the tallest in the US, and it's not the tallest between NYC and Chicago longitudinally, it's just taller than the buildings in the midwest? that doesn't strike me as big deal. it's kind of like saying El Paso is the biggest city in the united states, between Phoenix and Dallas. so what, ya know? maybe it's better just to say it's the tallest in philly. -Taco325i 17:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
i agree but it seems to be a thing people are saying. it seems worthwhile to say the biggest in the northeast united states so people know its not the biggest in the east. et cetera. Dirk Pitt 20:48, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
  • people, this building is going to be HOT.

Go here for more info on the building, I don't know if it meets the link standards to be placed on the main article: General property info, more artist rendings, and detailed floor information Taco325i 03:34, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Nobody mentioned that its the largest Green building in the world. i think thats somthing to be proud of (especially sinces ive lived in Philly my hole life.) why is there nothing in the article about that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.161.201.30 (talk) 04:25, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LEED status

Should provide some specifics on LEED status. As written the rating and classification of the Comcast Center Office Building is very vague and somewhat misleading insofar as LEED rating system provides ratings for New Construction (NC), or Core Shell (CS) and provides different levels silver, gold, platinum

[edit] Template:Supertall skyscrapers should not be placed here

I am posting this because some people may not agree with the removal of the template. The Comcast Center is 297 m or 975 feet tall. Although it's just under the requirement for supertall skyscraper status (at least 300 m or 984 feet), the Comcast Center is not a supertall skyscraper. The article is not in the template as well.

[edit] Photos of interior, and looking out

Would there be any value of having interior pictures from Comcast Center? I will be in the building for the next few days, and I could take some photos. Not going to do it, though, if this is contrary to Wikipedia standards for office buildings. - Fawn Lake (talk) 15:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
