I have to keep reminding myself that, in aggregate, we're getting (and have gotten) some really beautiful buildings as a part of this boom. Google Sail is one, and so's the Independent, but Indeed is such the low key MVP. It really adds some grace and maturity to our skyline, in almost every direction.

These photos don't do it justice, it has a really majestic glow to it at night.

Nice. I saw it last night from a few spots around our neighborhood. It looked good. The south elevation lit up looks like a square moon on the horizon. lol

I'm impressed with what this adds to the skyline silhouette from the north side of the metro. Haven't seen it from too many other views, but it definitely bulks out the skyline in a good way. Looking forward to some of the other taller towers as well.

Does anyone have a good photo looking from the North to this building? I remember seeing what I thought were some LED light strips on the top of the slanted roof (I saw this prior to when they lit up the full crown). I'm curious to see what it all looks like together with the additional crown lighting. One of my favorite views is driving south on the upper deck (specifically around dusk) of I-35 where you can see UT, the capitol building, and all of downtown. Such a great looking city and skyline that grows more and more each day!

Passed by today and it looks like they’re done with landscaping. Fence around the site will be removed very soon.

That’s likely a screen panel for ventilation.

I'm 99.99% sure it's missing glass - I watched them break it when they were installing it

There are also 2 other panels on the west side and south side (crown) that need replacing.

405 Colorado is much worse tho (in regards to missing/broken glass).

The bold part is all that's needed here.

The theme to Ghostbusters just popped in my head. I can't help it, it just popped in there.

That is wicked looking.

Here's a permit for "Install channel letters. Indeed. East elevation." But it doesn't indicate how high up on the building the letters will be.

Great! That indicates Indeed must be moving forward with occupying the space.
