The twin gold towers at Central/NW Hwy. are about to get a makeover--and a name change.

I have always liked these buildings, total 70's vibe and even before I lived here I recognized them from the opening of Dallas. Glad the are getting an update, I think they need a refresh.

I hope Gensler knows that is real gold on those windows. Probably could pay their fee if extracted

Those also have a DoubleTree attached them. Does it all connect inside?

I always loved the way those buildings looked. Like the poster above, they are kind of 1970s but in a good way. Buildings with glass that's not blue or dark/silver are pretty rare.

Campbell Centre had a cameo as "The World's Tallest Building" in the disaster-movie-within-the movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074433/
