Here are some new photos that I have taken since my last thread.

When TCU plays, they change the lights on the buildings to purple:

Here's the progress on the infill between the two Tandy Towers taken on October 14, 2012:

Cranes are up right in the middle of Sundance Square with the construction of the Westbrook and Commerce Buildings:

Here's a detail of the progress so far on The Westbrook:

This is the Commerce Building construction:

Nice. There's something appealing about those purple lights on the building. Fort Worth is a good looking city.

Nice!

Kevin, most of the buildings in Sundance Square have switched to LED lighting. The Mallick Tower and Chesapeake Plaza (formerly Pier 1 Place) also now have LED lights. With the new technology, the buildings can be white one night and purple the next.

ColDay and Kevin: I'm glad the two of you posted a reply.

ColDay: Thank you for the comment.

Fort Worth is lookin nice, thanks John R. Also I like the cartoon banner along the fence, you don't see that very often.

Thanks again for all of the comments. I was out of town this weekend and I found out from postings on my web site that they are now changing out the lighting on the two City Center Towers. They will now have LEDs on them and they will be able to change color along with the low rise buildings around them.
