Any ETA on when the corner will be completed?

Now we know why the hodge-podge of the exterior's design:

The tower’s exterior paneling features morse code that dictates the lyrics to John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme.” Hastings Architecture installed the feature to pay homage to Music City.

Some other features:

Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, along with walk-in showers, sleek lighting fixtures, modern kitchens and more. A 24-hour concierge service is available for residents, as well.

Other amenities include a seventh-floor entertainment deck with a saltwater pool, gym and common spaces. On the top floor, a "sky deck" and “sky lounge” offer views of Nashville.

So that explains it.    Thanks for solving that mystery.

This one cleaned up pretty nice. With the external construction mostly wrapped up, the 'look' is really looking sharp. Especially that 2nd photo.  It's like a cosmopolitan tower, just waiting for more company.

Need to build something in gold, like this, next to it.

Whew! Definitely fits the bill.

I haven't managed to get a pic, but the exterior is now (finally) complete on this one,  and it looks really great! Textured and provides a subtle pop of color in the skyline.

It's like a taller, slightly fancier Parkway Tower.

Turned into a nice, modern looking tower. Be glad when it gets some close neighbors in that circle there.

I drove by there yesterday and noticed that there's some machinery as you can see in the photo above and it looks like they're starting to do something on the Circle South project across the street.  If two or three of those developments get going it's going to be a very busy neighborhood!
