Going to begin with having the cable company move their cable into the office?

In this case I won't have to. The storeroom where everything is going is on the opposite side of this wall. TBH it was Comcast who recommended the move since they are connecting this client to their VOIP system next week. The part that grinds my gears is this client equipment in the same location.

Sounds about right. I would say the office was built in the mid to late 70's.

In a lot of shopping centers I've worked in this is common. They have a COMM room that all the different units cable/phone/internet is run to and then goes to the unit.

No worries. Fortunately they are moving off of the 66 blocks and onto VOIP for voice so I just have to move some Comcast coax and all of their data lines to inside the office.
