^^^ It's looks that this side of the crown is finished, I remember that a few pan of clads were missing.

Is this building really still under construction? Looks pretty well done...

NYguy · #**4003** Posted **Nov 20, 2009, 9:59 PM**

I think the top has been lit again, but haven't been able to confirm...

I so so wish that OzoneHoward's first shot were panned out to include the whole of Midtown.
Serious ownage.

here´s a view from the 57th floor that is also part of the roof at about 900 feet (Again the building has a total of 57 floors not 53, the top office is 51, I don`t know where the 53 figure comes from)

Saw the lighting on this one from the FDR for the first time last night; looks pretty good. Hopefully it will be done on a consistent basis.

You know a building is "done" when you treat/see it as a part of daily life... You get used to seeing it as a part of the skyline... Not just a brand new building...

that is exactly what this building has become...

But if this thread stays up... i don't mind...

It's nice to see some excellent shots by you guys

How is a building done when most of the windows are in place and most of the lights are working? This forum is way too quick to move stuff out of the construction category just because it looks complete from most angles, even though there's usually still a good amount of work to be done, e.g. interior finishing, placing windows where hoists were, base work/landscaping, ect.

Is the metric for deciding this stuff based only on appearance and not functionality? If so I'd say that's pretty shallow.

Anyway, here's one from last night:

CHAPINM1 · #**4013** Posted **Dec 7, 2009, 3:55 AM**

Thanks for the shot kznyc2k! I also agree that this building is a little ways from being complete.

blue_dragon · #**4014** Posted **Dec 7, 2009, 11:17 PM**

when is NYC gonna get a building with a sick lighting scheme, BOC tower kinda deal?? it would make such an amazing difference

uaarkson · #**4015** Posted **Dec 8, 2009, 12:37 AM**

Never. Extravagant, full-building lighting is something that would only fly in Hong Kong or Shanghai, whereas NYC style lighting is all about the crown.

I'm afraid times are changing my friend, that's not bad, it will be a mix of both old and new! The really cool thing about the BOA's lighting is that it expands as it goes higher! It reminds me a lot of the Bank of China in Hong Kong which has a spire reaching at about 1,200 feet and to the roof it is roughly 900 to 1,000 feet. Also, both buildings have a modern lighting scheme. Just some cool figures I thought would be cool to point out...

I believe 4WTC will have full-building lighting, but I'm not sure. Technically BOA does have crown lighting since the majority of the lighting scheme is toward the upper portion of the building. Anyway, this buildings just keeps getting better and better with every passing day!

Just ignore those moronic post. The building will officially be completed early next year (a matter of months) but I'm certain we will be moving it to the completed section soon.

I still would like to see a lighted spire go with the lighting scheme...

That last shot is freaking hot! It might be the best this building has looked thus far.

CGII · #**4019** Posted **Dec 9, 2009, 4:26 AM**

I can see the lighting scheme from my studio building in Brooklyn; it looks amazing. I'll have to post a photo...

Crush_Buds · #**4020** Posted **Dec 9, 2009, 7:23 AM**

That shot by jessicaluo is sick!
