| What a way to go ..I bet they don't own the building !
The "financiers" own the building and Comcast probably didn't have to pay any money down ! They become renters !
Then write off the rent as ops cost on taxes .. get a 100 year lease with rent appreciation clauses to suit them.
Now the real prize would be, if the rental cost per sq ft is less than the average price in philli ! or better yet, less than the aggregate cost of there current digs, to boot.

Alexandria, VA | Correct. The building is owned by a REIT and Comcast is only leasing space....and it's for 15 1/2 years. |

Some other companies in Philly have threatened to leave the city and been given huge tax incentives. I think there are also incentives for leasing in a new building.
Also, I had an interview at one of Comcast's current offices in Philly and it was actually quite nice  |
