505 CST - 545 feet - 45 Floors

I'm not sure why anyone expected the color rendering to change their perception of the tower.  It's not like there was any real possibility that the glass would be anything but blue.

[volsfanwill]

Gold Glass!

Gold Glass!

Wait?! Not orange glass?!

Two color renderings of the new tower

Those aren't official color renders, are they?  I was thinking a guy on Skyscraperpage photoshopped the color to give us an idea of what it would look like.

[NashRugger]

Everyone, calm your tits, it's photoshopped to give "some" indication of what it may look like.

Exactly. No official color render has been released.

Where did you find these?

PHofKS worked his magic on those. 

[Hey_Hey]

That's an impressive photoshop job.

I expect a flame from this but it's sad that we get excited for a building like this that, in New York or Chicago, would just be another filler building with no significance whatsoever. I just cannot believe we don't have developers willing to give us a masterpiece. I think this design is terrible for being Tennessee's tallest tower. Blah.

Only a fool is going to create a masterpiece that the economics of the market don't support, and a fool is probably not going to have the resources to build said masterpiece.

[NashvilleTaylor]

Is that to scale?  The Viridian looks so small by comparison.  I didn't realize it was that tall (not complaining, just saying).

[smeagolsfree]

Pete is a magician for sure. He is pretty darn close to the actual.

Well, with all due respect, Nashville isn't NYC or Chicago. When this is built, it will be the tallest all residential skyscraper outside of NYC and Chicago, that's pretty significant and bold in itself of a developer to attempt in little ole' Nashville, wouldn't you say? Oh and by the way, I don't think a 750' skyscraper like this one is a "filler building" in any city...that's just a silly comment. You can't build a $500M masterpiece of a tower, just cause, when the economics here don't support it like Nashville Cliff said. I applaud Tony G for attempting to build something like this here, which IMO, would be a masterpiece for Nashville.

Fine.  That's your opinion.  I get excited about all the new buildings coming to Nashville and am thrilled Tony is giving us another set of plans to be excited about.  Of course, of the 4 renderings of 505, this is "IMO" the worst.  I don't see Nashville as "little ole Nashville" anymore and neither is the rest of the country.  But anyways, to ME, it's just another glass box.  It will be a huge, rectangular glass box erected from the center of the city.  For that I applaud him.  Well, I will when he ends up building it.

It's ironic that you guys cite this as an example... While its soaring heights are indeed impressive, the design itself is almost as uninspiring as the Snodgrass tower here in Nashville. I find the current 505 design to be more interesting, honestly...

[TheRaglander]

And when I meant filler building in NYC or Chicago, I meant that this would be NY's 27th tallest tower and Chicago's 17th tallest tower.  Placed in one of these two cities it would just blend in and not stand out.  IMO, design makes something stand out whether it's 1000 feet tall or 180 feet tall.  

[titanhog]

I would wait for a better rendering of this structure before we decide to officially hate it.  I want to see what's going on on the other side of this thing.  If the other side looks exactly like the side we're seeing...then yes, it is nothing but a 2X4 sticking out of the ground.  That's why I'm hoping there is a curved element to the opposite side.

[volsfanwill]

I would just point out that those of us who were in attendance Saturday all seem to like it more than we did last week.  and we are remaining silent.  so, guys relax. wait till you see the whole thing.

[markhollin]

If you look closely at the renderings, you will notice that each side is slightly curved, especially near the corners (including the back). Am anxious to see if there will be some sort of lighting element near the top to make it more distinctive at night.

[satalac]

I like it.

[dxfret]

I like the latest rendering for 505CST.
