The Comcast Technology Center at 1800 Arch Street in Philadelphia was designed by Foster and Partners, with Kendall/Heaton Associates collaborating and Gensler working on interiors. Liberty Property Trust developed it, Thornton Tomasetti engineered it and L.F. Driscoll built it. Construction began in mid-2014. The text gives November 27, 2017, as completion, and the infobox says 2018. It opened to the public in October 2018. The article names no style or materials.

The tower is 1,121 feet (342 m) tall and the tallest building in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. It has 60 floors, or 61 in the infobox, and about 1,566,000 square feet of floor area. Five tuned sloshing dampers holding 125,000 gallons of water on the 57th floor reduce sway.

It holds Comcast offices, television studios, retail and a Four Seasons Hotel on floors 48 to 56. It stands one block west of the Comcast Center. The article gives no hours.
