Any updates on the LED lighting or anything like that?

[patm]

No but Telus Sky is already testing the LED's at least.

I have lost faith in Brookfield doing anything special with it's crown.

I have no idea why the crown still looks the way it does but there's no way it's going to be left looking the way it does after sunset. Even looking at renderings of the tower at sunset shows a very interesting looking crown well lit up etc. Just going to have to be patient until they resolve whatever issues that are delaying a finished product.

It is quite possible that they don't fully reveal this till a media type formal opening event OR maybe July 1st, leveraging Canada150 (maybe they have the ability to change colours and will have some type of red and white theme going). When it this building expected to be available for occupancy?

Still the floors are very empty. Photo mine...

What a nice shot, thank you!

I'm holding out for Canada Day. If they don't put something on then, my hopes will diminish at a rather fast rate.

From BP - looks like they are doing some mech retrofits at The Bow

No lights in there... looks like there is a lot of conduit though, perhaps future installation.

Looks like a fantastic view from there though, should have an observation deck and get some money from the area.

Looks like pretty underwhelming lighting. See power going up the pillars on the left to the white ballasts.

Couple of those pillars have power going up higher to smallish units high up. Could this be some sort of complimentary lighting, or is that either safety or security type infrastructure?

Some new pictures; noticed that some windows were a different shade of blue, as if maybe some kind of film was removed?

I would guess that this is actually the difference between clean and dirty windows.

That's basically the same response over at the Skyrise Cities forum, they said dusty vs non dusty.
