JW Marriott - 385' - 34 Floors

Selling the back third of the lot. Can't say I blame them, given that part of the plan kinda fell apart...

Not to mention that it could stave off a repeat of the possibly stillborn Virgin (or its elder sister at 16th and West End)

Someone can now place 400' in the title.

That entrance and curbside drop off could be stunning. The Omni has a very well executed and formal-type entrance, this one could feel very hip yet business. It'll be a property that caters to a level of patronage that is still limited downtown.

[TNinVB]

It's going to be an impressive building at 400' especially at the elevation it will sit on. The Pinnacle is 417' and sits on much lower land. With this tower, The Westin, and hopefully the Buckingham tower in the Gulch the skyline is really going to stretch out. Hopefully something substantial will happen at the old Mazda site on Broadway

Is Nashville ready for a curvy building?

I'm so scared!

If they DO sell the property, it would be cool if the new developer would still integrate the idea of the curved element of the original design to complement the Marriott.  I love that sort of symbiotic flow.

LOL!!!  I spit out my coffee when I read this.

William sent me a text. This will be 365 feet and 32 stories. Mods change thread title. WW verified with Turnberry.

What about what Smeagols said about talking to the architect and said 34 / 385'?

[smeagolsfree]

It is 34 and 385' That is from the architect.

 

How do you edit a title guys. not sure why I cant find the edit any longer.

William fumbled with my info.

[Paramount747]

365 or 385. No matter. I wondered why everyone thought this was going to be a 500+ foot building. The Renaissance is 31 and 385, but has the 12+ foot floor to ceiling office tower floors at the top.

In any case another sub-400 foot building for Nashville just like the Westin and Sobro. Nashville will feel lucky with the 460 foot Bridgestone and the 545 foot 505 Tower. Again except for the very rare and occasional tall building, we will consistently be 200-400 feet, but it's not a bad thing. The Gluch Tower at 38 stories and 450 feet will be a gem.

John,

My bad. It will be 385 feet. And I would much rather have this building with its striking design, strong street activation, distinctiveness, color scheme, night lighting, etc. than the much taller Snodgrass Tower.

I agree.  This is a 300+ footer that I can tolerate for the most part.  While I love height, the trade off for me is the striking design!

[TNinVB]

And and at least it's on a high elevation. Should still look pretty tall for the area. 

It's interesting though, I counted the floors on the updated rendering and it's more than 34 and then the crown on top of that. 

[UTgrad09]

The height number doesn't really matter. If it's 415, 400, or 385, it doesn't really matter. It's how this building will look.

Besides, I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference between 385 and 400.

except people like us , we notice everything

From tonight 

[BnaBreaker]

I know that's a solid building, but what are they removing one brick at a time?  It seems like the demolition is taking forever.

[chris holman]

Probably trying to prevent a lot of debris hitting the street this building is right on the street corner
