The west side of the building will be spotlit in white, green, and red, because Bulgaria is one of the countries participating in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

On the same day, the north side of the 443-meter skyscraper will be illuminated in the colors of Canada's flag - red and white, the east side - in Serbia's colors red, blue, white, and the south side - in Greece's colors blue and white.
