Agreed, this is a beautiful complex.

When do we see our first glimpse of the lighting feature?

Took a close look at these two towers. there's definitely led strips up both cores but so far no night lighting. there is however blue led lighting lit up at night along the short entranceway to the shorter tower and a very short blue led light along one side of the taller tower entrance.

This development has no more that about 20 occupied suites, I assume most are also renters.
Looks like another Bank deposit box for off-shore money.

* not that I care either way

I love the use of "bevelled" edges and angles. This is original, and not a clone of a clone of another clone.

I saw it for the first time on Saturday. Here's what the smaller tower looks like from my vantage point:

I shot some video of the animation as well, but haven't yet uploaded those.

Thank you for posting the photos. But, seriously, you didn't go outside to take a photo of the lights on the tall tower?

Thank you!

That looks fantastic! Reminds me a lot of the lighting effects seen on many Japanese towers.

Hey, it was late, I was tired after a busy day, and I was getting ready for bed when I first noticed it. I'll try to shoot some more this week.

Yeah the taller one is lit. Looks good from my vantage point at the 501 but my pic didn't turn out.
