I want that view!!

 

Forgive me if this has been mentioned tons, but are these condos or apartments?

Apartments,  principally. Giarratana wants several upper floors set aside for condos.  Probably having to restructure some debt/loan covenants with lenders in order to do so. I don't know if it's already sorted...

I went to a Nashville Lifestyles event Thursday night at the 505. Tony G. is an incredibly nice person. The building is pretty cool. Not mind-blowing, but I'm proud to have it in Nashville.

All the glass panels installed on the north face. Fine looking building!

Man it beats the days when I was trying to do it all. Post pics, post articles, project list, moderate, do the drives like Mark does, keep the board alive during the recession and I had a little help

I'm back from Europe now and headed to Texas until I retire. I worked a bit on SHAPE, Chievres and the NSA site in Brussels. It was a busy three years to say the least.

Smeagol, thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks for your service. I'm retired Navy myself, but was an Army brat. My dad was mostly stationed in Germany (West Germany at the time) and we traveled all over. The last time we were there, I had to attend high school at AFCENT (now AFNORTH) in the Netherlands. SHAPE was our biggest sports rival back in the late 80's. I hope to make it back there one day. I was stationed in Sicily for three years and unfortunately didn't get any farther than northern Italy.

I know this is old news to y'all but man I can't help but what think of what this building could have been.

 

Don't get me wrong, this is way better than a surface lot, but those original renderings of Siggie are what brought me on to this site when I was 14. I remember just dreaming about how beautiful that Tower would've been... and even the design concepts of 505 he released about four years ago were snazzy. Idk there are so many amazing projects I see when I go home I guess I shouldn't get hung up on one, but this sure ain't the 2007 tower that would make us taller than Atlanta

Yes...there have been a few early proposals that would have been game-changers for us, but they always get the "reality" make-over.  At least we're pretty much getting the original design of the JWM, thankfully (albeit, without the nice office tower that would have complemented the JWM).  Hoping we get the original designs of the 2nd Ave Partners and Buckingham Gulch towers.

The more I see 505 fro different angles, the more I think that the 1000' version of Signature Tower actually would have been too much. Now 750 would have, and will be perfect once we get to that milestone.

You have to remember that when the L&C went up in 1957, it was more than double the height of anything else built in the city (and was, of course, the tallest skyscraper in the ENTIRE Southeastern U.S., including Atlanta and Miami), and stood out like the proverbial sore thumb. But because it was built, it raised the bar for the whole city, and would be topped by the National Life & Accident Tower (Snodgrass) in 1969. Building the original, majestic Signature would have had the same impact the L&C did 60 years ago and raise the bar for taller buildings in the city (rather than our being perpetually stuck at roughly the same 400 or so feet that the L&C broke through that seems to be the "glass ceiling" today for our new buildings).

Getting the Signature might be the thing that cures Nashville's fear of heights.

Something about the parking garage looks very unfinished. Are the metal screens going to wrap around the back? Also, it looks like the top portion of the side with the screen panels is unpainted. Even that corner piece looks odd because it does not go all the way to the top of the garage.

I really don't think this building will have any kind of lighting. The glass at the very top appears to have a metal wall behind it. It appears that light wouldn't shine through like the Pinnacle's crown.

Can only hope they might be built behind the panels in between the glass
