^ Me too. There was recently a critique of black buildings I read somewhere... Anyway, red would have been sweet, though the black will look nice too.

Since those photos were taken, they've started putting in the windows on the west side.

We had a story (with photos) last week on the STL Public Radio building as well as the work on KDHX just a block over on Washington.

That building looks amazing. I like the modern design right next to some of St. Louis' most classic beauties (Continental Life, Fox, etc).

Yup. This place is awesome! Hopefully it will inspire some more contemporary design in St. Louis.

I love this building, although, I have to admit, I LOVE LOVED it when it was red during construction. Now that was amazing.

Tooting my own horn here, but over the past year I've been putting together a time-lapse sequence of the construction for the Beacon. It's not perfect, by any means, but I enjoyed doing it. It also helped that our offices are next door. Here's the piece.
