Just for posterity's sake.

sheeeewwww boy, looks like we are finally getting the big one, it's no Siggy but she will be pretty and shiny and big

[Paramount747]

...and it has been reduced from 550 to 525, so there must be a redesign or its gone from 45 stories to 43. My  source said the tower has been redesigned.

I feel like we will have had more design changes than floors by the time this is finished. The longer we wait the boxier, shorter, and less inspiring it gets. It will be great when it starts, but with all of the previous renderings we are missing out on it might be difficult for me to get excited.

WW's article says 543 ft. Are you hearing different? 

[MLBrumby]

Previous version of the same article stated 525 ft.  Perhaps William got confirmation from Mr. Giarratana after the first version was posted.

FYI, one of the two circles is the future crane pad.

[NashRugger]

I'd venture to guess the one on the right because it's centrally located to the building's footprint and also gives it more room to work around the garage cranes. I wonder if it'll be a normal boom crane or a kangaroo crane, like what was used for The Viridian. 

[CenterHill]

3 cranes in the same hole will be a sight to see.

btw, that's the form for the second parking level you see in the picture.   movin' on up!

It is 543'........ Per Tony to WW.

[TNinVB]

So what has been redesigned then?

It's now going to be made of stucco.  543' of blown-on stucco.

Imagine the 1998 tornado all over again hitting that. You'd have more large sections of foam flying around than the time the Polk building's roof blew off on an extremely windy day in the early 2000s.

Yes!!! With terra cotta shingles on top as well??? I hope they are lit up at night.

This is be the color scheme: 

[Paramount747]

Yes, another person told me the building has a slight redesign. I am not at liberty who it is, and it is not Tony. If you extrapolate you can figure out who it was.

[bhibbs]

from the Tennessean just now:

Developer Tony Giarratana has picked a general contractor for 505, the 45-story skyscraper with 550 residential units planned at the corner of Fifth and Church downtown.

The $155 million construction project set to start in mid-November will be Chicago-based Archer Western Construction's first job in Nashville.

At 543 feet tall, 505 would be Nashville's tallest skyscraper based on occupied floors. But the 617-foot tower nicknamed the "Batman Building" would still be the tallest overall when its twin spires are taken into account.

Thought I'd post this here because I like it.

Add Sobro, 222,  and Bridgestone to this pick and wow!

Or... not, I mean... cause none are from this view... but I get the gist 

 

I do wonder if this is an updated rendering. The curve seems to remain, however it appears the central bit rises an extra floor or two... which makes the overall rendering look less... flat.

Edited September 18, 2015 by dmillsphoto

[TNinVB]

You can definitely tell a difference in the design with this rendering. The top corners appear gone or the center is a bit taller. At least it's an attempt to give us a mini crown

It almost appears that the mid section is more of an oval shape to tie in with the roof and the edges are squared off.  Kind of hard to tell exactly due to the clarity of the image.
