Those pictures are amazing; oh so amazing. city is really looking good.

I think NBC 10 moves into their new studios today! If I'm right you may see them on a new set by tonight but don't quote me on it.

Their move in day got pushed back to the end of the month due to equipment issues they were having during rehearsals.

In Bala Cynwyd since ’52, WCAU in final stages of downtown move to new Comcast Center | Philly.com
Fifty or so employees will still work out of the Bala Cynwyd offices. NBC10 and Telemundo will store and manage their 40 news trucks and vehicles there.

Ric Harris, president and general manager for NBC10 and Telemundo62, declined to give an exact date when the two stations would go live from the new location, but he promised it would be "this fall."

Interesting, the lobby seems to have a more elaborate lighting scheme than the building's spine.

I think the lobby looks fantastic.

When is the Lobby open to the public? Are they waiting for the West Side of the building to be finished?

Super cool TK!

In one sense, this building flew up but looking at that, the time frame was almost 3 years alone.

"Here's an early look at Vernick Coffee Bar, opening to the public on Oct. 18 on the second floor of the new Comcast Technology Center at 18th and Arch Streets. Access is by way of a dramatic escalator from the 18th Street side."

So if the cafe opens on the 18th to the public (assuming nothing has changed), the Lobby should be open then...
