The Omni just took it to another level with LED's on that side of downtown. Reunion Tower didn't add more lights it just had to upgrade their lights to LED's also to not be outdone by it's surrounding neighbor's lighting capabilities. Dallas has just become too competitive as far as lighting goes. It has come to the point were every new building has to have some sort of lighting and taking it to the next level. The only one I can think of that fell behind is BOA, Dallas' tallest with it's green argon lighting. It needs to upgrade fast cause tenants like being in that new shiny building.

BOA is getting an upgrade soon from what I heard through the grapevine.

Elm Place is fixing theirs too.
