Modis Building to be Wells Fargo Center

[Timkin]

I was just coming to post that.  Good news for the skyline.  Though I will admit... I have enjoyed seeing the Independent Life building with the clean, no-logo look.

Same here.

All in time for the new football season (thats currently in lock out mode) With three national televised games this year I was concerned about the modis building. With Wells Fargo Center heading the skyline, and a newly renovated friendship fountain up and running, the ariel shots of the city are going to be awesome.

it's hard to fit it all up there... the gold letters would look nice if they turn the teal uplights back on though.

Don't care about the sign. What is that on the helicopter?

Now if someone could just convince the folks at the BOA tower to flip the switch back on........

If I'm not mistaken I think they have. The last time I past by the DT at night I remember the lights being on? Fidelity and BCBS need to get it together. Fidelity neon lights have been gone for some time now and BCBS blue light at the top of the building has been out also. So tacky. lol

The old Independent Life signage was right on and looked great on that building. Then some jackass at Modis put their name WAY TOO BIG up there--from wall to wall. Let's hope the designers at Wells Fargo have good taste and do a better job than Modis did.

BTW, does anyone remember that the original design for the Bank American tower had three little palm trees in the square insets up at the top of the building? Too bad something more interesting isn't happening now on that building. Despite it's size, it gets totally lost in the skyline.

Really?  I think that would take away from the sleek obelisk design of the building.

I agree, Debbie, it does seem a little odd. And looking up in February and seeing three little palm trees freezing their butts off way up there would just be sad.

The top of the obelisk though, the four flat sides of the corners, used to light up at night. What happened to that? I think better lighting of the whole building is needed. It really is hidden behind Independent Life (Wells Fargo Center). After all, you don't build the tallest building in a city with the intention that it will barely be noticed.

WOWZERS

Well I passed DT last night and the top of the BOA building is lite up at night. I think they just recently started doing that because I don't remember seeing any lights previously. My question is, why isn't there a BOA sign up there? Why is it ground level? That is the weirdest thing I ever seen.

I am also anxious to what AT&T will look like after they install their new lighting.

unless something changed yesterday, there is only a small bit of uplighting near the top of the BofA tower...it has been on for years...what people want to see is the pyramid top lit up

When will they do that?

[wsansewjs]

It would be so COOL to have the Bank of America's tower's pyramid to include lighting like at Luxor's



Not only the Jacksonville's Skyline is there, but it goes into SPACE with its intense beam of lights.

About a week or two ago there was article about it. The building owners are installing new lighting at the top. They didnt give a timeline though
