What's the purpose of the little cut-out in the facade on the side, at the very top? Makes the building look like one of those moving boxes-- so that perhaps some day a giant can come and pick it up and rid us of its presence!

Generally, aren't those facade cutouts a way to present some depth and character on a glasslined wall on a skyscraper...to break the monotony so to speak. In that sense, the cutout in Comcast works quite well. But for such a short building, do they really need to have such a "box grab"?!

Other than that, yeah I'm actually a bit pleasantly surprised at how the rendering looks...not too shabby.

But 14 floors and 250 feet?! the floors would have to be each more than 17' tall-- is that for real?!

Meanwhile, the old Family Court building has been put out to bid by Nutter administration for a new hotel-- is that still happening?
