I had no idea this had a residential portion to it, so I had to go check it out. Nicely done suites.

^^The upper third or so is residential--the residential portion is sharply demarcated by the "amenity" floors (gym, commons rooms etc).

01/21/2018 West Side

I noticed yesterday that the gap a few stories below he spire has been filled in. It was like that for several months. So glad to see the building finished on the west side. There is no need to post anymore photos of this one from my view as it is finished!

In your new night photo on the Trinity Place thread, it appears that the crown at 181 Fremont is illuminated. I wasn't expecting that.

It's like a modern interpretation of the John Hancock Center, love it.

I don't see that at all. I see more of a sister tower to the Bank of China Tower. I'd say 53w53 in NYC is more of a modern interpretation to the John Hancock.

Yeah, my immediate comparison is to BoC Tower in Hong Kong. And a good one at that.

181 Freemont Lit at Night

The lighting is subtle as seen from my apartment a little over a mile away. I presume what we see is the final lighting scheme.

I sincerely hope not. Very underwhelming lighting scheme for such a great design.

The top third of this building is condos. Would you want to live in a building lit up like Times Square? Where is an example of a RESIDENTIAL building with garish lighting?

Close the shades when you sleep.

Looks nice. Nearly a mini Bay Bridge, it looks like, with the vertical white lighting scheme.

This building seriously needs some lighting on those braces ala Bank of China. To not do so is an insult to the design.

Once again, this is a ⅓ residential building, not completely office like the BOC. Perhaps a better analogy is the John Hancock in Chicago (although that's rental I believe) which does not light the external skeleton.

It might be possible to design lighting of structural elements right outside peoples' windows that they wouldn't object to but there's also the ongoing cost of keeping it lit to be born by the HOA.

I expect the lighting to remain on parts of the building that are limited and inoffensive: The base and crown.

Side note: The John Hancock Center apartments (floors 44 to 92) were converted to condos many years ago. As of this past February, the Hancock name was removed and the tower is now known as 875 North Michigan Avenue until a new naming rights deal is finalized.
