The old Inquirer Bldg seems to now be under construction as the new PPD hq.

Can't wait to see how much it will cost taxpayers.

NASDAQ is expanding operations in the city:

”Nasdaq Inc., the world's second-largest stock market group after the New York Stock Exchange, is hiring in Philadelphia and will continue to expand its options-trading and technology-services groups based here, says Adena Testa Friedman, the company's chief executive.

“Nasdaq, which had $8 trillion in global trades last year, has added 80 jobs since moving to three high floors of the FMC Tower at 2929 Walnut St. last spring from the old Philadelphia Stock Exchange building at 1900 Market St. The new site now employs 230, plus scores of options traders at independent and national firms, Friedman told a sellout crowd of 1,600 at the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Philadelphia's yearly breakfast conclave.”


Nasdaq chief calls Philly a fertile place for tech to grow

WCAU (Channel 10) to move operations to Comcast Technology Center: In Bala Cynwyd since.

I can imagine it was becoming a bit of a sticky point for Comcast to have the local NBC affiliate located on a leafy corner overlooking the city’s border.

I was there yesterday afternoon. Once it's completely finished, with all the food options, it will be another one of my favorite places. Worth the wait I think!
