Re: Their name is only on the building because...
Maybe they don't.... Did they "commission" the building? IE is it built specifically for them?
Without investigating further, I really don't know.... Sometimes investors build a building and then look for clients.... However in this case.... 90% of the building? Usually that means Comcast commissioned or had the building built for them, they just won't own it (they'll have a real estate holding company own it)

said by KrK  :said by espaeth :they are the primary tenant. For tax write off purposes only. Yeah, they keep saying that as if it means Comcast isn't paying for it.

My company does the same thing. Builds and develops a facility, then immediately sells it to their real estate holding company, and then they lease it back so they can write off all the costs against taxes.
Sneaky, but smart.
