Vrtigo...you can post those USS JWM photos anytime you want.  I can't get enough of those!

The supports for the fins are getting close to completion encircling the entire top floor of the Bridgestone now.  Looking east along Demonbreun from near the intersection with 8th Ave. South:

Yes, the fins will have LED lighting

Someone actually posted a picture way back when they were testing the lighting. It actually looked pretty cool. It was in various colors. 

 

Here is the picture that donNdonelson2 posted a while back.

I guess the remaining work happens pretty quick? Friend of mine that works there was under the impression they would be in the office by I think he said September?

That's what I was assuming they were doing on the Westin with that cross-hatch pattern.

That would have been cool. So many missed opportunities with that hotel. Perhaps when I see it in person and go inside I will not be so harsh on the design. Those windows though...

Yeah, it does look like the sunk a lot of money into the interior...but surely LED lighting could be that much more expensive than the stupid 'spotlight on planks' thing they have going now.

I'd prefer something akin to Gulch Crossings for the Bridgestone fins.

Great shots, Bridgestone is coming together very well, and it will look nice next to pinnacle, I can't wait to see all those side fins and hopefully crown lit up

[TNinVB]

I'm still wondering if they are going to add that little pop of orange at the cut out and the roof? The color reminds me of the panels on the MCC. Also from the way it looks, curtain wall installation should be done soon and then hopefully the fins soon after. Maybe by this time next month they will do a lighting test.

One more pic for you ...

**  Remember there is no floor 13  **

With the installation of HVAC, it would appear that there will be an occupied level 32. Attached is a (very poor resolution) video screenshot from a recent Sky5HD flyover. But, most likely, level 32 is just mechanical. It would be nice if there were a small rooftop area for employees

^^NOW we find out there were two Oxblue cams set up to view the construction!  I searched and searched for those with no luck.  Guessing they were totally private and never shared with the public.  I know they had the one trained on the south side lower level that we could see...but the other two would have been nice to view now and then.

And from the rendering in the article it appears that they did away with the orange colored panels in the cutout.

That likely means that the top part covering the mechanical stuff won't be orange eihter.

That'a what I was thinking as well. I hope it's covered at least. I kind of liked the pop of orange color.

Me too!  It was a nice nod to the burnt-orange stylings of the MCC.
