RBC Dexia Signs at Dusk

The RBC Dexia signs on the north side are illuminated.

The top of RBC can be found in front of the CN Tower. The Ritz can be seen to the right of the Sheraton Hotel.

That's one bright building at night.

 

[ceaz40]

it's probably that bright for security reasons...it's unoccupied still I think....once everyone is moved in it will become part of the "lights out" project to save energy and birds.

 

[deerparker]

It is largely unoccupied. Dexia employees have moved into the podium levels and Royal Bank employees are scheduled to move in over the next few months.

Emporis has the hight listed at 208.40 meters............weird

Thats aprox.the height of the now under construction Ritz Carlton tower, most likely a typing error.

On another note, did anyone notice that RBC came in on time?!

Office towers seem to always be on schedule. Residential towers on the other hand...

The penalties for late delivery of a project in the ICI sector are staggering. It's an altogether different beast than residential construction

Pity that is not also the case in the municipal sector! (Viz: Lower Simcoe!)

FYI Lower Simcoe is open.

August 14 - Night Shots

One suggestion I'd like to make with the lighting is that I'd like to see the Dexia circular logo become animated, with the blue bars fading in and out.

 

[dt_toronto_geek]

Great night shots wyliepoon!
Now isn't there supposed to be LED lighting up the building? I think we saw some test shots back a few months ago (not to be confused with the lantern).

 

[MBS]

Look again at the pics, closer. You can see a thin strip of blue LED's running all the way up the building, but you can't even tell it's there because of the interior lights. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I love that shot with the lobby, though A great space indeed!
