Chefs Plan 15,777-SF Restaurant at Comcast Center

PHILADELPHIA-Chefs Georges Perrier and Chris Scarduzio will open a 15,777-sf restaurant over the first three stories of Comcast Center, the 57-story office tower being developed by Malvern, PA-based Liberty Property Trust as headquarters for the cable TV giant. The yet-to-be-named restaurant will anchor the building’s 40,000 sf of retail and restaurant space and will include a seasonal outdoor café on the building’s half-acre public plaza.

Terms of the lease are undisclosed. Perrier founded five-star Le Bec Fin here. He and Scarduzio are partners in Brasserie Perrier on Walnut Street, Brasserie Perrier at Boyds within the newly renovated men’s clothing store on Chestnut Street, and Mia at Caesars Atlantic City. The duo announced plans for the new restaurant by serving a lunch of braised beef short ribs, potato gratin and forest mushroom to 80 construction workers at the site.
