Gee, why didn’t we think of that earlier ...? lol

Fine line between intriguing people and people concluding that they don't know what the H is going on :p

As others have said, since it's the parking podium, the lights will always be on, thus making it backlit. That's my assumption with how they'll do it at least.

Charlie West -- with NO view of the parking podium cladding!
RE: Charlie West (Charles & Gaukel) | 31 fl | U/C - Spokes - 06-14-2020
I see a little bit of it there

OK, no cladding in this photo! (Taken from our empty office, in monochrome to avoid colour aberration from the tinted glass.)

Counted 20 storeys today, is this now the tallest in Kitchener?

Unsure if it’s the tallest, but it does have the most storeys. The Dolly Parton tower is probably a little taller. Give it another 3 week though, and it will be the tallest. A badge it will hold for a few months once complete, then DTK will rip past it.
Both will be 1st and 2nd tallest in the region.

And more to come!

With pics, one hopes!

The Dolly Parton tower is probably a little taller.
Now that's a name I haven't heard applied to that building in years.

Can't miss Charlie West now: this will be a great addition to the skyline.
