Haven't been to Nashville in over six months, but I believe you're referring to the site of the new MTA bus transit center.

You are correct, it is the MTA Bus Transit center.

[Signature Tower]

Points taken but I disagree with the notion that most building materials are made outside the U.S. The company I work for produces extruded plastic parts for the door and window industry not to mention for the medical and office furniture industry (Yes we have experienced a decline in sales but they are already on the way up again). Being in this industry I can tell you a lot of materials are still made right here in the USA. I will admit I doubt our parts will be in the Signature Tower but a lot of American companies will benefit at least on a limited basis.

I also believe while it will stick out, it won't be noticably worse than some towers in other cities like Charlotte when it first built BOA and now Mobile with RSA. Many cities build towers way taller than any others in their skyline. But in Charlotte's case, BOA was almost 300' taller than any other in the city. While it stood alone for awhile, it has many friends now.

When the L&C Tower was built, it stood tall all by itself for quite a few years. Now it has more friends than ever, with apparently many more to come.
