Three Light

[moderne]

The rest of the glass should be the highly reflective one.

I personally don't think this is too squat - I think it's beautiful. Recently, I've been enjoying seeing the mural filled in

It's an attractive building. I like the glass color choices.

It seems like an elegant exterior. I like how the every-other-floor floating balconies look like a mathematical pattern. High Rise residential often takes the form of slabs instead of towers. This is a middle size metro, I would not expect residential skyscrapers. Considering the Lights are the tallest and largest residential buildings in town in nearly half a century is significant. Poor Omaha is still bemoaning the proposed never built Walstreet Omaha and has yet to build a single new res tower. Would love to see high rise residential in North Loop like the South Loop with a park square in the middle. Buildings that would be complementary to the 19th century brick building survivors. Like something seen in Antwerp, Rotterdam or Hamburg.
I don't recall anyone calling Loew's short and squatty. Especially from the NE it resembles a Borg cube.

The San Francisco Tower in Crown Center slips in right under the half-century mark (at 47-years; completed in 1976). It was built as a residential building and it's 32 floors. Three Light is 26 stories.

Huh? Reverb, Arterra, Townsend Place, 4646 Broadway, Alameda Tower are all significant apartment/condo towers built since the late '80s, even if not all downtown.

And whatever happened to building multi-story residential like Vista Condo in KCK, Santa Fe Towers in downtown OP or even Brush Creek Towers? Those types of buildings were common in all cities back in the 1970s-80s, even in Omaha, Wichita, etc.

Only a few of those are really towers per say. I would argue all towers on that list are outdated

Modern tower requirements are really expensive, incentives harder to come by, and parking garages grew bigger. Can't forget the neighors shooting down every proposal

Looking good with the peak glassed in. Puts a new angle on DT.

They were painting a mural on the north side and it just said rag as I walked by. I was going to take a picture but unfortunately was busy.

Bring on “fountain 3”

Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing. This thing is almost ready for tenants! 400-500 new residents headed to KCMO

I hate that the dark blue or as mentioned before a highly reflective (mirror) glass was not used for the curved peak. Last night viewed from the south the powder blue top looks terrible! It made the building appear shorter because of the break-up in color. They should have continued the dark blue all the way up or changed to a reflective finish. This looks terrible to me when viewed from the south.

Looked fine to me idk

3 signage appears to be going up today

I still think a stylized 3 would look nice. Something like the 3 mobile logo from the UK:

I'd like to think that someone was listening.

I continue to believe this post was the difference maker. I don't speak up, we get it spelled out.

Saw a 3 getting hauled up
