The extra tall rebar on top of the Pinnacle tower probably represents the two story lobby similar to the one the Bass firm had at the old location.    This will provide a commanding view of the City as clients enter the new space on the top floor.

I just took a couple of quick photos from the roof of my building.  I'm thinking that the top two floor of the Pinnacle are going to stop where those columns are taking shape and leave a notch in the left corner of the building from this vantage point based on the renders I've seen of the roof.  The last few stories of this building have really made it seem a lot taller and it's really going to look nice!

[MontanaGuy]

Is this the latest image of what the top of the building will look like?  I've seen others that don't have that little notch on the right side and the cladding goes to the top of the building.  I just took that second image from my window and you can see new column forms on the far left that weren't there yesterday so maybe the first image is an older render.

I'm about to say something many here will consider heretical, but I'm not impressed by this building's style, or shape to be more specific. The size, yes, but the shape looks weird to me (i.e. no "texture"), or off balance. I realize that appeals to many these days, and it was conceived with a companion tower which may or may not ever materialize. Perhaps my biggest criticsm of this tower is the color of the glass. To my "texture" comment, it's a somewhat interesting building from certain angles (IMHO pics 6, 7, and even 8 with the Asurion building appearing as a part), but overall I find the combo of glass and slants to be trite. Frankly, I see nothing about this building that wasn't done elsewhere in the 1970s and 80s. These pictures are very good ones that show just how "invisible" this tower is under certain circumstances. No doubt, that's part of the desired effect, but I would think a large financial company would aim for a more prominent corporate statement.  I guess the choice to build what wouldn't be the tallest tower in a brand new complex in a downtown gulch shows other intentions. I expect that Pinnacle will put their name at the top, and that may compensate for any corporate presence they spent well over $100M to create. I do expect the multi-tiered lower levels will be interesting, and even "inviting" if they're true to the renderings, but I'd also be unsurprised if it turns out to be just a windswept plaza.

Granted without its companion, it just looks “lost” in the mundane sense of visual experience. You’re absolutely right on your points, and to add to that IMO with such a wide base it should have been taller to compensate for that. Still hopeful that SWVP decides to move forward with 1001 soon, it’s just the missing piece to complete this project

I agree that this tower should've been about 100-200 feet taller.  But I do like the design of it. Reminds me of one of the towers in NYC's Hudson Yards. 

Also, I hope the 1001 tower adjacent to it ultimately is built.

Thanks for the link, but two questions. When did StreetLights become part of this , and the rendering at the top of the linked page isn’t Nashville! Whatever it is , it’s good looking. So is Streetlights still going to utilize the parcel across from A2?

[smeagolsfree]

They are the architect and will probably be the management company for the buildings.

That rendering is for The Central, in Dallas. About a 10 min drive / 40 min walk from me. Currently an empty lot. It’s a bit of a pipe dream, imo, with a lot of office towers.

Isn't the company "Street Lights" planning to develop the lot next to the YMCA Tower?

Actually, the lot behind Tony's 750-footer where the NES substation was. They have already bought and cleared the land which is being used for parking right now. They are a very conservative company and move very slowly on projects.

I think it is supposed to be around 30 stories or so.

I think the second tower is truly needed to give this one a sense of intent.   Right now it just looks like a squatty 35 story building because of it proportions.   It's not horrible.  It just needs a companion to complete the overall aesthetic.   Like City Center would have looked better if the developer would have built the second tower that was proposed to be built next to it.
