Looks like a vortex opening up to eat Nashville.

The Cumberland Bar at JW Marriott will be transformed into the Snow Globe, a multi-sensory holiday pop-up. Beginning Dec. 3rd, guests can enjoy themed libations while surrounded by holiday scene projections, sounds of crackling fireplaces, and the smell of pine trees.

Great shots!  When looking at the views of the tower that include the pool....wasn't there planned to be a twin, or similar tower opposing it?

And I guess the option is still possible?

It was a proposed office tower that was not a twin. IIRC that parcel was sold to another developer before the JWM even broke ground.

Turnberry still owns it. They turned it into a park, supposed to be temporary until they move in the second tower.

Some renderings of what was originally envisioned in 2015:

They still have plans for the lot where the park is, however still no timeline for that.

Oh cool. So the other tower wasn't to be a twin, but a complimentary structure.   That original concept looks great, but now that some years have gone by and the market is even hotter, perhaps a grander/taller project could be in store.

The developer said about a year ago they were even considering a twin to the current tower.

I hope they do something different.  Let the JWM stand on its own.

I’d be happy with “twin” tower, as long as it is an Arnold twin, not a Danny twin!

I agree.  JW should have been a lot taller.
