This thing looks damn tall coming from the east on HWY 1. Hard to believe when looking at it that Brentwood will surpass its height, and then Gilmore.

The spire that was recently installed on Altus is lit up. Two different light patterns in the last two nights. Will look nice when the light box is finished.

Edit: antenna rather than spire. Wrong term.

So when are they planning on starting the two other towers. Seems like they would've started selling at least one by now

Noticed this too driving home yesterday, it was alternating colours seemed pretty interesting.

Spire looks great lit up at night. I will get some pictures once this rain goes away.

Spire is amazing. Seen 3 different patters on it so far, very distinct designs. Love this feature, had no idea it was planned.

It would be neat if intersection of Laughed and Willingdon gets lit up with some screens and a more bright presence.

The mall is on one corner, but lots of opportunity at SoLo for more screens, and what I assume are future developments at gas station and car dealer.

This is from 3 weeks ago. Peaking nicely in the background.

Antenna

Anybody knows what kind of antenna sticking up on the 2nd tower?
Is it a lightning receiving rod or something in that nature.

i am pretty sure that is just a decorative spire. Apparently it will light up with LEDs in the evening. Still havent seen it though.

It's been lit up every time I've seen it for the last few weeks,

This morning, 2017/06/22, photo my own.


The light spire is shown. At night it looks quite tacky in its current display. Imaging a purplish light traveling up, and then contracting towards the top over a 5-10 second cycle. It's nice to see something, but I hope the current form is just a test because it's lame.

Evening of 2017/06/20, photo my own. Pardon the sharpness, didn't have my tripod with me.

Saw the spire on this lit up from Highway 1 last night. Light was moving up the spire from bottom to top. Find the tower to be kind of awkward looking in general but the spire looks good.
