Most of the interior lighting for the office part seems done.

Yep. I guess FMC could move in while the upper floors are under construction (though I think it'd be pretty disruptive). That won't give us a good sense of when the tower will top out or when principal construction will be over.

The only lights we've seen so far have been on the east-west axis, so hopefully this is an indication of something to come.

I posted this photo a little while ago that shows some lights on the North side. Here it is again.

the last 20 floors are going to take a while since they are concrete it seems.

I would recommend it! There is a lot going up in neighborhoods around Center City in North and South Philly.

They were synced last night. Purple that dimmed and began to twinkle every few seconds along with Cira. It was pretty cool looking.
