Fantastic. Keep up the good work dbo.

[urbanvb]

Very nice. And those big fluffy clouds are appealing as well.

[urbanlife]

it feels like it is big in those pictures.

You won't see Trader on the top. Went by it today and they had a new rendering with Dominion on it.

Dominion?

Dominion?

Dominion Enterprises. It'll have a red capital D on the East/West sides and a blue "Dominion Enterprises" on the north/south.

That's not too bad. I don't like the red too much, but its cool. Thanks for showing us that.

[Sky06]

I like how the red stands out.

[vdogg]

Personally I liket the blue logo better. Wish they could've stuck with that, I just think blue fits the building better than red does.

[Padman]

That looks like a nice letterhead, but not something you'd put on top of a building. And yes, blue is more muted. I was afraid of the billboard effect of that roof all along.

[gosscj]

I hope they plan on covering the gray behind the top faces - that kinda looks tacky at this phase.

Is the building going to be referred to as Dominion Tower? I thought the high rise next the Sheraton on Waterside Drive is already called that.

No, Dominion Square. And then Dominion Resources will move their HQ from Richmond to Norfolk in a new tower called Dominion Plaza. Now I've gone nuts.

Isn't Dominion Tower called Wachovia Tower now? Although I still refer to it as the former, wasn't it named Dominion because it was the HQ of Dominion Bank and not because Virginia is the Old Dominion? It then became First Union Tower, and now Wachovia Tower.

[erdogs]

I think it's actually the Bank of Hampton Roads tower now. Its' hard to keep up. But most people still refer to it as Dominion tower.

So is there another tower in the works for the Dominion Resources (Dominion Plaza??)

[wrldcoupe4]

haha I think that was tongue-in-cheek. They are definitely not relocating their HQ from Richmond.

[okinawatyphoon]

I thought this was kinda neat, but CMSS finally included Trader in its Norfolk Revitalization page. It looks kinda small, but its still cool to see.

There has been so little change of the building view that I will wait till next week to post more building pictures.
