505 CST - 545 feet - 45 Floors

[UTgrad09]

Doesn't it only need about a 60-foot crown to officially become the new tallest?

yea, but 150 would get us to 700.

[bigeasy]

Vandy will go undefeated this season and this will get a 150 foot crown.

 

I think just stating that Vandy will be in the Top 5 in the SEC East is a big enough stretch

It would be nice to have something with architectural significance!  is that to much to ask for, for once! !!

You would think even a small crown or something. I think of the Pinnacle as an example. It's grown is large but basically just four metal frames on each side of the building with glass and lights at the bottom.  Even if something similar was done to 505 it would look better than it does now. I would assume since this building is residential and with the current flat roof that the building won't stand out at night.

Maybe the UP tall-is-better-fanboys can do a Kickstarter campaign to buy Tony a crown.

Play nice Cliff......

Well I'm not a "taller is better fanboy" I just don't get impressed by an uninspired glass box.

It would be nice if he changed the the crown did something because the project in the gulch is another box we don't need 30 +  boxes everywhere

Curves and angles are expensive and time consuming to pour the concrete in stages. Boxes are a lot easier to pour concrete.

Boxy women are easier to get, too. Doesn't mean we should settle for that.

I won't go there (to protect the guilty).  I think of 'em as "boxem" (from "buxom" and "boxy"), but unlike their building "counterparts", they tend to be "roundy" and curvey" in a manner of speaking). -==-

I've seen some that are shaped like a refrigerator.

does anyone have a update on the build redesign

[smeagolsfree]

I think if there was a building redesign, they would have to go in front of MDHA. That has not happened. I am also hearing a mid November start.

[TNinVB]

I thought someone said it was just some minor tweaks? Not sure exactly what they would be tweaking. Perhaps making it more rectangular???

I certainly hope not…I like the curved sides.  We can all pray that perhaps there will be some sort of distinctive crown with jaunty night-lighting being added into the mix.  : )

[TNinVB]

Haha I was kidding. I like the curves. It's the only thing I think the design has going for it.

The longer Giarratana waits, the shorter this thing gets. By the time he "tops out" it will be 12 stories tall. That seems to be the Nashville way.

...sh-h-h-h!  We wouldn't want to push Paramount747's button, as he might become "elevated".  But it would be a "let-down", if it ended up as squatty as the L&C has turned into being. -==-

Another homemade rendering.....

 

That one block of Church Street will be quite impressive.

Ad that popped up while reading Nashville Business Journal today. The link went to Giarrantana Development, but unfortunately, that website has not been updated in a long, long, long, long, long time ....



**Not exactly HD quality. I tried to find the ad again (in hopes of getting a better quality pic), but no luck, sorry

Looks like Nashville is made of gold !!!!!!

[titanhog]

Sure wish it was taller than in that image ^^

[donNdonelson2]

Too bad it is not going to be this tall.

Walked by last night. My source, not Tony, said November and this was confirmed by someone else. They were excavating on Tony's part of the lot last night. This building is under construction!
