What floor are they up to?

[TNinVB]

Not sure if the bottom portion of the tower without the glass counts as 2 or 3 floors, but I'm counting the 22nd floor.

I went to a sounds game recently and overheard someone talking about hotels in Nashville. They actually said they thought this building was ugly and that the Westin looked good. I almost punched them.

My guess is he was wasted.

Well it is kind of shaped like a deodorant stick.

Maybe it's shaped like a deodorant stick because the design of the neighboring Westin stinks!

Boom! Westin = armpit.

The Renaissance looks insanely large from that perspective.

The JW makes the Westin look extremely dated already. I really we don't like too much of anything of the Westin design and could have done better. Everything about it is just wrong the front entrance is on the back of the JW.  It's very Bland design only thing cool about it to me is a rooftop L27

Up to the 23rd floor now.

^^JWM is as beautiful at ground level (so far) as it is up top.

Photo taken Monday evening from the plaza in front of the Tennessee Tower. JWMarriott is making an impression from this perspective!

Looking down Demonbreun from the light at 12th ave.

With Embassy Suites and the SAP twins at the end of Demonbreun, that will be a bona fide canyon.

I'm still trying to figure out the "34 floors, 385'" thing.  From renders, it appears the 34 floors would be before the crown...which looks to be equal to at least 2, if not 3, floors.  So...this will come out to about a 37 floor structure for all intents and purposes...so I'm still thinking this will be over 400'.  I'm calling it now.  Our next 400 footer.

Well, almost. Just need a high rise on that that surface lot next to the arena and across from the JW Marriott.

^^If my calculations are correct, we have about 9 more floors to go...then the restaurant level that looks like something out of the Jetson's...then the 2-3 story crown.  So...basically, about 12-13 more floors.  Does that sound about right to you guys?

[Skyscrapergeek]

I believe that is correct, titanhog.

JWM crane height has been raised.  I'm thinking the final height will be somewhere around the top of the flag pole on the TN state office building behind JWM in this photo.

 

[Skyscrapergeek]

I agree. Good eye!

Good eye. I think the height of this one is going to surprise everyone here.
