    I think they would be crazy not to. We have one in Norfolk which is right next to Virginia Beach. I don’t think I’ve ever been in there and it was busy. At least nothing like the IKEA in Woodbridge, VA. which is a suburb of D.C.

    I’m curious how JRP can be redone. Doesn’t it have to be elevated due to the bridge crossing the river?
  3. TNinVB
    I agree. Also it’s very prominent in that location by itself. I wonder if it’ll have a neighbor in the near future.

    I guess it really is about perspective. The new Pinnacle tower definitely looks larger than the older one from this view.
  5. TNinVB
    Should we be seeing updated renderings any time soon?
  6. TNinVB
    So this tower is going to be almost 100’ taller than Pinnacle at Symphony Place?

    Isn’t this building supposed to have a lighting scheme? Seems like it would have been tested by now. At least that was the case for Alcove.

    Here’s another photo from around the same time, and the second spire is already in place. It is interesting to see the building in this phase, and I’d imagine since renderings probably weren’t as accessible to the average person in those days, that folks must have wondered what the heck was going on at the top.

    Went to the Swatch store at King of Prussia Mall yesterday and couldn’t help but take a photo of Philadelphia’s beautiful skyline. I’ve also attached a photo of Nashville’s beautiful skyline from today. I will say this though (and I know some of you on here will groan), I wish we could just get one substantial building with a top that isn’t flat, or the building isn’t shaped like a rectangle. A few buildings in our skyline are starting to look the same.

    Just putting this here so we can come back and compare in a few years.

    Is this area part of the scrap yard? If not, any plans for future redevelopment?

    Here’s an interesting video. Watch around the 4 min 12 sec mark for a cool surprise.

    Cloud City. Compliments of Fox 17’s cam.

    On our way back to Virginia Beach after visiting my parents for a week in Clarksville, me and Wayne decided to make a “little” detour. I’d only ever visited Cincinnati in 1992 and was blown away at the time seeing the city as it emerges from across the river. Well, 31 years later it is still impressive! It was Wayne’s first time visiting, and he really liked it as well. We’d love to go back and spend some time there since we were impressed with our little drive around downtown and parts of Covington. I really love all the hills surrounding the city, and will say that seeing the skyline now vs 1992 didn’t seem as big as I had remembered it. Perhaps it’s because Nashville has grown so much since then and our skyline isn’t so small anymore. I do wish we had older art deco towers like Cincinnati. It’s a nice mix of the old and new.

    I didn’t think I’d grasped how prominent this tower will be in the skyline until driving into Nashville on 24/65 from Clarksville and seeing how prominent Prime is. It’s not even at its full height and this tower will be almost 300’ taller! Also, driving around the inner loop I’m so amazed at the view of the Gulch and all the towers along Broadway and 40. It’s hard to imagine how it will all look once NY and the proposed Church St and Beamen towers go up. The transformation of Nashville is mind boggling.

    I wonder if this building will have exterior lighting that compliments Alcove?
  17. TNinVB
    Thanks for clarifying. I knew that the tower didn’t look like it was about to top out but was unsure because someone posted earlier that it was already up to the 35th floor.
  18. TNinVB
    But I thought this tower was 38 stories? It’s already at 35.
  19. TNinVB
    The crane jumped a lot higher than I thought it would. Aren’t there only three floors left?
  20. TNinVB
    I can’t wait to see the final design. We can still dream about this one. At least it appears that we will get the one podium two tower design.
  21. TNinVB
    What’s going here?
  22. TNinVB
    This tower might be topped out by the time I come home at the end of July. It’s really going up fast!
  23. TNinVB
    Wouldn’t One Nashville Place have signage in 1989? We moved to Tennessee in October of 1988 and I remember the argon lights around the crown and rather large signs. Is it possible this photo is right after One Nashville Place was completed in 1985? Heck even the Fifth Third Bank building had lighting on its top then.

    Funny thing you just posted this. I saw this photo on a Facebook group of the Concorde visiting Nashville in 1987. Very cool, but the skyline is really confusing me. The Renaissance (Stouffer) looks so far removed from everything, and shouldn’t the R2D2 building be closer? It just looks really off to me.

    At first glance, this camera view made me think of old photos of the Nashville skyline when the L&C tower was the tallest.
