Very Nice.

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.

I remember when I kept hinting towards this everything thought I was dreaming. But it was obvious that this is what they were up to. Wish it was their headquarters, but hey Im satisfied with just their name in our skyline!

It is nice, but they are really just moving from one downtown building to another, right? Their space at 225 Water Street will be vacant now.

In fact overall vacancy will increase with this move. They are dropping 35,000 sq. ft. in the move.

Who cares?

One of our tallest building will have a very prominent name on it. Yes they are just playing musical chairs but why complain

No complaining here. Up next the Everbank decision. I really do not think Enterprise Center will have a hard time finding someone to fill the space Wachovia will vacate.

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

Yeah Im interested to see how it will look at as well.

Maybe they could squeeze in the stagecoach logo to make the Westsiders feel at home!

The teal uplights are up to the building management company. I am sure though the signature tenant could push for it.

I think black letters during the day that light up either white or red at night would look a little more sleek on the building rather than gold. Just a personal preference.
