Another view from New Jersey
And the lighting turning on. It’s obvious the lighting programming is not complete, yet actively being worked on

According to the below, the cladding on the columns is a copper-nickel alloy. I would imagine this is costly compared to other materials, otherwise we would see more widespread use of bronze
due to the beautiful hue and superior corrosion resistance. The entrance canopies on 270 are especially eye catching.

I would like to make one correction to that above article. Copper-nickel alloy is Brass. Copper-tin alloy is Bronze.

I still cant believe how bright it is! Like… what other building in NYC comes even close to using as many lights? I’d say 111W57, but…

I hope 175 park and the citadel building have lighting like this as well

I expect Jamie Dimon’s face to be displayed on that giant LED crown.

The lighting is close to covering the whole side of the south face. Now’s the time to go out and get some shots! I’ll post more screenshots later

Looks like the East River facing side is almost fully lit too. Once it gets darker out it’ll be easier to see and will update this post accordingly.
It’s pretty well-lit.
Even the Hudson River-facing side is almost fully lit.

Is this going to be one of the first skyscrapers with dynamic LED lighting in the NYC/US?
The only other one i can think of is Salesforce Tower in SF. (One Vanderbilt and Empire State are pretty static in comparison.)
