More fins and more framing for the vertical glass.....

I noticed last night for the first time that the very top of OCPE was lit up. It kind of looked like a candle because every other floor below it was dark with the exception of the roof line.

yeah, i noticed it was lit up too... it stands out from all the other buildings at night now

I noticed that OCPE was lit up last night too.

Yeah, I just noticed it's new illuminated crown or "halo" last night as well. I like it.

Though they will be more angled, the crowns of the Cityscape towers will probably end up looking similar when lit up at night.

HX, that last photo is almost the same as the very first rendering you posted about OCPE.

anyone have a picture of it lit up at night?

gymratmanaz · #**790** Posted **Jun 3, 2009, 12:21 PM**

I drove by the other night and it wasn't lit up. Were they just testing it one night?

Has anybody notices the Dichoric glass being installed? I saw it today and it had many colors reflecting. Very cool...The architects did a great job on this building.

Hey everyone, I've been following the forum for a little while, and I read somewhere that someone wanted to see OCPE lit up at night. I thought this was as good a time as any to join in.

If the picture doesn't show up, here's the link: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/39478311@N02/3629769386/>

^^^ Thanks, it looks good.

Is it lit up every night now?

gymratmanaz · #**795** Posted **Jun 15, 2009, 8:51 PM**

I have checked many nights...have never seen it lit up.

I was just downtown, and I did see them installing the new glass strips to the North side. Can't wait to see those lit up too!!!

Tranquility · #**796** Posted **Jun 15, 2009, 9:54 PM**

thanks alamo. much appreciated

Does any one know what this is?

It appears to be part of the outside skin of OCPE but I can't see where it would go. Its been sitting there for a couple months. I can't figure out what it is.

HooverDam · #**798** Posted **Jun 16, 2009, 11:26 AM**

Im pretty sure its just going to be a sign.

gymratmanaz · #**799** Posted **Jun 16, 2009, 11:31 AM**

It is the example of what the exterior is. It has been there since the project basically started.

Vicelord John · #**800** Posted **Jun 16, 2009, 2:54 PM**

builders typically put out an example of their buildings facade while they are constructing it so they can say to people hey look at this. the building on 24 and camelback has the same thing.
