I Agree. Perhaps a little something like this:

I honestly think they are going to leave it as is though. It doesn't really bother me either way.

Agree, it could look quite sleek

I rather see a John Hancock or a Sears Tower alike Antenna, but it is still looking good as it is right now which won't be changed anyway.

Have you ever seen the pink building in Charlotte NC?

No!!!! how funny ... well, honestly, it does look quite fine to me aside of the fact that when living there, one does no need to give directions to guests!

A friend of mine lives in that building (The Arlington) Its looks nothing like it was supposed to. The height/color were altered so much.

The very top is looking pretty bright and shiny in yesterday's sunset compared to the rest.

You are funny ... and have funny friends too ... anyway, I might like to live in a pink building as long as in an upscale neighbourhood cause pink is a fave colour of mine.

ChitownCity · August 24th, 2010, 07:25 PM

Doesn't look too bad in my opinion...

Innsertnamehere · August 26th, 2010, 02:28 AM

Located in the heart of the one of the continent's financial centres,gucci those 200 square-feet of real estate don't come cheap.

One of the construction workers, apparently bedding down for the evening. Sleeping bag up there with him?

***hkskyline*** · August 29th, 2010, 04:43 PM

Are the elevators covered or open-air?

A new BMO sign is up!

And another one going in on another side of the building:

whitefordj · September 13th, 2010, 06:51 AM

It looks a lot more Glassy. I really don’t think it’s that great of an improvement. They, really, over looked the potential for what could have been a spectacular upgrade. This is one of the tallest towers in North America. What is it, like # five or something maybe the sixth tallest? The floors go right to the top as well. It could have made the forth tallest in NA with only cosmetic changes, a "Mega sphere", plus made it shine to boot.

Uaarkson · September 13th, 2010, 06:56 AM

You'll be surprised when it's done. It'll be many magnitudes brighter and whiter than it is currently, which I imagine will be quite striking in any light. In addition, the corner inlets will be darker and add some vertical lines to what is currently a very horizontal facade.
