An outside group, Techstars, will manage "LIFT Labs for Entrepreneurs" and select start-up companies to participate in the 14-week program at the 60-story tower. The group will choose applicants for the program from Philadelphia and globally, Sam Schwartz, chief business development officer at Comcast's cable division, said last week.
If selected from outside the region, the start-ups would relocate to the city to participate in the program, Schwartz added. About a dozen start-ups will be selected initially and the media- and technology-themed program will be a collaboration between Comcast-owned NBCUniversal and Comcast itself.

That's the spirit right there. Love it when companies move to the cities. May the days of boring, commie like office parks be behind us. Glory to the urban transformation.
In terms of tenants, Comcast has done wonders for the skyline of Philly. Likewise for Amazon over in Seattle. Major tenants, demand spectacular towers.
