Best Southern Skyscraper

[A2]

actually it's going to be a 1047' condo/hotel. and why can't a condo building not look as good as an office equivalent? what difference is a balcony going to make? and yes, the signature will be that bright and metallic. come back to reality and quit letting jealousy get the best of you. i'd be thrilled for whichever city got this tower.

Actually it is true that office towers are much larger in shear mass (not height) due to larger floor plates, floor heights and footprints. However, I will agree the signature tower is sweet.

If only FU (First Union) Would have built that 1300 footer.

Hopefully that doesn't happen in Nashville.

yeah, the sig is going to be very slender. i've heard that the floor heights are going to be larger than usual for a condo. and urban charlotte, that first union building would have made an awesome addition to the skyline over there. i'm sure they have something cooking though.

I wish they had gone through with the plans (and I hope they are revitalizing them and not letting anybody know, just incase.) Four wasn't the best of designs, but I was never a fan of One Wachovia Center to begin with. However, the skyline looks well balanced with One and I am glad we have it; so I'm sure the 1.3k tower would've grown on everybody even with its original design.

I agree with an earlier post that 191 Peachtree is truly magnificent. Of course all buildings can't be listed. It does deserve an honorable mention though:)

^ agreed, i love the twin parthenon looking structures on the top with the columns. Truly a unique building. Does anyone know if they have offices up there, or are they just mechanical?

I always thought it looked like a house trailer. This only confims it!

You can't correct me on a post I made two months ago. Then the tower was under 1000'. As far it being that bright and metallic I hope it is, but it seems like a material like that would be cost prohibitive for a condo tower. Maybe the units are more expensive than I thought they were.
