They probably have a hoist crane on the doof of the building now for Maintenance.  At least that is my guess.

I know there is one on AT T and Pinnacle.

That's how they're finishing off Salesforce Tower in San Francisco at the moment, via the mechanical crane atop the structure.

A lot of people seem to want a "crown" on the 505 building. This can be done later, as was done in Mobile. Since there is no money within the project for this, is it a practical idea to raise public money for it (with Mr.Giarratana's approval). I think a crown would make a significant difference in the skyline and in the building, and might even give us a new "tallest."

Good idea!

[NashvilleObserver]

I really don't think it matters much anymore. The building is nearly finished and it's going to look great. We should probably let go of the crown thing.

^^I seriously think that tower would look awesome if this was the finished look.  Something about the top floors without windows and then the crown on top make it look like a combination of modern and industrial.  (yes...I know that would mean rooms without walls...but just talking about how cool it looks like that. )

 Has there been any indication by Tony or anyone else that the top third are becoming condos?

[smeagolsfree]

I think its a matter of time. When it comes time to restucture the debt which could be soon, I look for the top 200 units to go condo, but they need to get buyers in line for those units.

This is just my speculation.

Giarratana seeks approval for 15' x 9' sculpture of 505 for corner of 5th and Church:

Art or a sign, I say both. Looks good to me.

[nashvylle]

why can't it be put at the top of the building

I agree. Maybe set back the walls like 15 feet or so on a mechanical level and leave the structure exposed. If we ever get a super-tall they may have to leave a few floors open, like 432 Park Avenue in New York (a building which I happen to abhor), due to wind issues.

As for talk of a crown, I think the tower looks very good - as is. Don't try to screw it up

[TNinVB]

I like the proposed sign. Now just add lighting at the top of the building to match and I'll be happy :-D

Yep...I'm pretty sure some of us are going to screw it up.

Had the section of yet to be places glass been tinted differently/darker this building would look very similar (though shorter of course) to the IDS Center in Minneapolis.

The 15' x 9' 505 sign/sculpture on the corner of 5th and Church was approved by Metro this morning.

It gives a much needed rhythm to the all 30 story everywhere you look skyline. Looks nice.

[chris holman]

   I wonder what Tony is going to build next?

[donNdonelson2]

I would LOVE to see this design revamped for another location...but TALLER!

[Titans10]

Hopefully Siggy in its full form. The time is prime for this to happen.
