Yeah, I didn't want to go up in the chopper either - selfish of them though, right? Convection and turbulance are a real problem in downtown areas. Putting safety before good photos - what is up with that? LOL

If all goes well, tomorrow sometime. These won't be exact views as we had wanted as all of the regional helicopter pilots refused to drop down to the lower levels for the shoot. Where is a good and crazy pilot when you need one? Anyway, they'll give you a reasonable idea of the views from high - I noticed that Trump had to do the same thing with a project in Chicago.

Very perceptive, you obviously read the credits and noticed the ending shot location. I was wondering if anyone else noticed. I guess we'll have to use a Nashville country band on the next one? Or we could export Elvis from Memphis again - at least the dancing character if not the music (EP Enterprises would charge us an arm and a pelvis for music usage). FYI- the trailer we created last fall had Elvis in a cameo role. Maybe we'll take a poll on music for the new trailer....LOL. Though Tony G has the final say....maybe hip hop?

Thanks. We are talking past each other. I understand both architectural and music history. All is cool - back to watching Narnia with my kids.

I'll take that crit any day. I assure you on the video trailer we should start on this week - upbeat music. Even then, someone won't like it.....LOL.

LOL. Thanks. I hear you. You are actually referring to NeoClassical architecture in the 1700-1800s and moving forward. It is all a nod to true classical architecture from the Greeks/Romans. Which is what I was saying - real classical architecture was from a totally different time frame then the music of Bach. But we are just splitting hairs - I understand your statements. But again, it wasn't about matching period music, it was mood and demographic target. Everyone has different opinions - music is the hardest part of putting together a video. Thanks for the comments. They are what make the forums interesting.....The Forum...hmmmmm...

Since we are the ones producing it and working per Tony's desires I would obviously disagree. Music is about creating a mood, not trying to match an architectural style. You need to understand that all of the marketing materials are focused on views and ellegance. That particular video is focused on a large demographic for the building - the 50-somethings. The next video will have more upbeat music as did the trailer last fall. Again, not matching the architecture but the pace and focus of the video. It is about mood. A differnent track changes the entire perception of the video and can make it feel rushed or slow it down. Everyone has an opinion about music and yours is valid, but now you know why - ellegance, views, romance, pacing and demographic. And as an architect - though the building isn't classical (you couldn't really create an honest classical skyscraper could you? - classical music isn't even the same period of time as classical architecture - not even close), it is both very modern and nods at the past - which in my opinion makes for an excellent design and I commend Tony and SRSS Architects for that. So there you have it - right or wrong from the firm producing the video.

What picture did they use? It has lights at the top of the crown - both uplighting and the "diamond" at the very top of the spire. The newest images are on the website. www.SignatureTowerNashville.com - go to the gallery.

This is right on schedule. I believe the plan is to actually take contracts in September. This is a fairly typical stepped process - registration, reservation, contract. I'm sure an official schedule will come out in the near future.

Actually started late yesterday when we posted the site. Will be officially kicked off at Steeple Chase tonight. Reservation form is downloadable from the registration page. You can get all of the details on downpayment, etc.

I'd rather not address questions like that since they are public yet. Hope you understand.

Should automatically run a script to start a viewer that shows them enlarged. Works in both Opera and IE from my house and at the office. Please tell me what browser and platform. I'll look into it.

14,15, 38, 39 and 59 are townhome floors. These have not been released yet. I believe they will come out next week. 60, 61 and 62 will be released later too - penthouses

If you figure out how to get someone to give you 1.5m let me know! No dancing Elvi this time - at least yet. But you never know what is around the corner.

Be the first to see the new website - notice the links at the bottom - interactive plans, virtual tour and gallery. We posted it about an hour ago. http://www.signaturetowernashville.com/ Another video will come out in the near future with more focus on the exterior. Stay tuned!

Stay tuned. Putting the final tweaks on the video. It will go live on Saturday if we get the final green light from Tony. There will also be another video to follow in the very near future with a slightly different focus. I need to verify with Tony which new skyline shots he wants to go public.

FYI - that stadium was created for a contractor trying to land the project. It was used to show construction sequencing. I forget where the design came from, but my partner was in charge of that project. I just dropped it into the skyline along with Encore and Schermerhorn Center which we were also commissioned to create for other projects. So we have not idea what the real stadium design is. Signature tower has been updated but we haven't gone public with the newest version yet.

LOL. Thanks. Tony has a great sense of humor. I had put in the Elvis as a joke for a preliminary and he said to keep it in the final. Don't you think we need several Minnie Pearls?

Thanks. Actually I've been tracking the forum for quite some time now, but I can't really say much most of the time - so I remain silent. Fun watching the speculation and excitement. Great project without a doubt. The "more to come" is in reference to Signature, though we've also done work on Encore and the Symphony, plus a make believe version of the baseball stadium for a contractor trying to land the project. We are excited about the work in Nashville - great things going on there. By the way, the guy that looks like Trump in the model photo is Ted Kromer. He is Tony's right hand man and Director of Development.

The video showing at the party was an incomplete version - only about 1/2 the length of the final. We will reveal the final in a little over a week. Should go public on the website around the 14th or so. Have to put in the final touches. Much more to come over the next few months too. Stay tuned! Charles T.
