Signature Tower out of Place?

^ Not enough customers to keep it open. They tried to hang on I believe by having a Sunday brunch, which apparently didn't do well either. It's too bad because I remember having several good meals there too.

I think you can rent it out, for a nominal fee. ReedNavy, I bet if you paid them about $5000 or so, they'd have a private chef and a candlelight dinner, just for you and your girl, romantically panning Nashville every 60 minutes.

^ I was at an event there in 02, so up until then at least events were being held in it. I would think they still rent it out.

I'm pretty sure they still do. I was staying at the Sheraton awhile ago, and unless there's another restaurant up there, I'm pretty sure there was a prom there.

I bet the plates they use up there are round just like the restaurunt itself.

The top of the shereton looks butt ugly. It looks like a cheap flying saucer. I've always thought this. I think that once all of these people move into their new downtown condos (from what I understand, many of the current sales in signature are just rich williamson county folk buying a second living space downtown so they wont be there as often) such as encore, WES, Icon, terazzo, rhythm, etc, we will start to see a chain reaction of development to cater to the new residences downtown. Right now it's condoes. Tomorrow it will be resturants, shopping, and maybe even (GASP!) a REAL grocery store downtown (the tiny HG Hills at the bottom of the L&C tower doesnt count) with who knows what else. It's a time to be exited for our once humble little city. Nashville's growing up.

As far as the skyline goes, I think that the lesser developments (pinnacle & WES are very under hyped) are going to make a bigger impact on the skyline than Signature because the average joe doesnt judge a city's size based on how tall the buildings are but rather how many there are and how far they sprawl. Take tokyo and paris for example. HUGE cities... but how many buildings do they have topping 1000 ft? Not many (tokyo has a few i think but only like 1 or 2... maybe 3). I think signature will stick out just a tad but not for long and if it gets developers to start thinking outside the 500ft box then I'm all for it! Plus it's a gourgeous building!

Paris and Tokyo have a combined total of zero buildings over 1,000 feet.

HG Hill Center is at the bottom of the Viridian, lol

I am excited for the WES and for the Gulch... We have better bets on those things going up than Signature.

L&C... Veridean... they're so close to eachother that they're practally the same building. Maybe I should try looking UP next time haha! Well pinnacle is a done deal (foundation was emerging at the bottom of that bog hole last I drove by) and WES is pretty much a done deal last I heard. Some guy in the WES thread said he asked a construction worker when it was going up and he claimed the guy sounded comfident that it was going up soon. Who knows though.

I'm not even going into signature T.
