The 1.25 million-square-foot Comcast Center, which cost more than $500 million to build, opens despite not getting the tax breaks that had been sought by Comcast, its landlord and Gov. Ed Rendell.
Comcast had wanted its downtown building site to be included in a Keystone Opportunity Zone. That would have made it exempt from state and local taxes, including corporate and personal income taxes, sales taxes and financial taxes.
