Now THIS is what I'm talking about!  Finally got some bright lights and some color up top.   (sorry it's not really hi-def...but it's a screen shot from my tv)

Photo from last night. A mock-up demonstration by a lighting designer friend for the good folks at Bridgestone. Nice to know they are looking into a dramatic lighting feature for the building's fins!

The buildout for the Watermark Restaurant on the first floor of Bridgestone Tower is underway again. Things had stopped in mid January.  The 8,000-square-foot space, located in the NE corner of the building.

It hasn't been touched in months. No sign of any activity.

This article from March 23 says that the owner financed early construction out of his own pocket, paused, and had raised private equity to continue construction.  Looks like deal isn't done until it's done!

I know the wind was bad over the weekend, but isn't that a bad look for a new building to have an issue like this? Could it be a design issue of the building be so flat, therefore it has lots of pressure against it when it is windy

Could be worse.

From what I’ve been told(I was out of town this weekend), is that a price of patio furniture went airborne off of the buildings 14th or 29th floor and caused the damage.

The wind took down hundred year old trees. It's no different from '98 when some of the buildings downtown lost their windows.

That would make sense considering a projectile in tandem with the added air pressure... and especially if there was a tornado in the area.

I was on the second to top floor of the Bank of America building when the tornado hit the building in '98.  While looking out my office window, I looked up into the funnel of the tornado.  Don't want to do that again.  So many windows broke that I stepped on broken glass every step I took from the office building to the parking garage.  Windows were out all over downtown.
