It could save on the electric bill for folks in the Independent. Just get black-out curtains and open them when you want to turn the light on.

If I had an east-facing apartment at the Independent I'd be livid. There's no need for the lighting to be that bright to create a good visual.

The lights aren't nearly as bright as the webcams show, at least not from Cesar Chavez.
They look very nice either way. Can't look for them to get all the way up and on the sides.

Usually these type of lights are on full bright mode during testing and install. I am sure they are adjustable.

Saw the lights on the republic park side of Third + Shoal earlier this week looked really nice in a way the pictures don't capture. With ZaZa, The Republic and everything in the Greenwater area Republic Square Park will have a great view. Now just to get rid of that parking structure!

This and the Proper both look far shorter from the library side. You can see the height a lot better from the back. Also, that lighting looks great.

Looks like there's some gaps that aren't lit. Those will probably be fixed soon enough.

Maybe it is the final product, doesn’t look bad at all with the gaps.

It's quite possible. I'm Downtown right now, they don't have them on unfortunately.

Of course they are not going to leave broken lights on the building when it's done. But I'm wondering if the lights can be different colors? So far I've only seen white. I think blue would look good.

I just can't stop thinking about how unattractive this building is. The parking podium is going to make the building at 4th and Colorado with the gigantic parking podium look like a beauty pageant winner by comparison.

I actually think this building will still be better than that parking monstrosity. At least it's cladded even if it doesn't match the office portion. 405 Colorado won't even have that and will be a jarring transition between podium and offices.

I saw the lighting for the first time tonite........from the west it is spectacular and IMO the 2nd best hi-rise lighting in the ATX behind Frost. It almost makes up for the awful podium.

[KevinFromTexas]

Yep. I was at Butler Park tonight on the hill, and it looked great. The vertical lines look classy. Anyway, I took some pics. I'll have to get them posted soon.

I saw them from Lamar and Bluebonnet, they really stood out even from that vantage. How bright were they from Butler?
