Phew! The tower is a BANK! We won't be seeing Moroni here.

Can't wait to see the Christmas Tree, er, Holiday Tree and lights they put up there.

They are now adding the Letters to the very top. Can't tell at the moment, but it looks like the lettering will not be able to light up.

Actually seeing the "Zions Bank" makes the building look really good. It is a handsome building

Holy web cam competition! Hawk, good job at breaking the "news" about the spire and Sawtooth thanks for the cool views

Wells Fargo and Zions look good together.

Video from a few days ago, and already seems old as spire and lettering on 8th&Main Tower have been added.

Thanks. Today as I was on Capitol Boulevard heading into downtown I noticed how nicely the forested slopes of Bogus Basin & Shafer Butte perfectly frame the top of this new tower. Of course a photo will follow from me sometime soon.

Wait till the tower and spire are lit up. Jaws will drop... for Great & Powerful is Zion(s Bank)!

Great Photo's Architecture Buff, thanks! It is too bad that the spire is basically invisible from distance, but definitely looking forward to seeing it lit up.

According to the Project Manager it will be flood lighted. They were thinking of a timer for the LED lights on the corner to go on a sequential pace up and down the building, but at this time no and no other colors either(white only).
I love the blue glass, and the whole building stands out from all the brown tones of most of the downtown buildings.

Tonight the spire has lights!

I think I like the simple plan more anyway, too much sequencing of lights gets annoying. And the White on blue glass combo looks beautiful. I think this building is looking great at night
