Comcast Innovation and Technology Center is a building under construction in Philadelphia. The 60-floor building, with a height of 1,149 feet (350 m), will be the seventh-tallest building in the Western Hemisphere (all are in the United States), and the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere outside of New York City and Chicago (and therefore the tallest building in Pennsylvania). It is adjacent to the Comcast Center, the headquarters of Comcast Corporation.
