While walking on State Street the other night, I noticed that the top of the Paseo Nuevo tower was lit up inside, but I couldn’t tell why. —S.
I reached out to Mary Lynn Harms-Romo, Paseo Nuevo’s senior marketing director and local leasing manager. “The top of the tower is a just a raw façade,” she explained. “During our renovation (2019-2020), when we painted the building, we decided to place floodlights in the tower to light it up at night. The 1-3 floors are emergency exit stairs.”
It sounds like an opportunity for an art installation….
