Yeah, the proportions  of most Nashville towers feel too squat. Doubling the height to width ratio would do a lot to help. But we all know too well the reasons why they don't/can't go higher..

I had posted a week or so ago in another thread that there are some lots in the CBD that are suited for some very tall towers. It is a matter of time. Most of these lots are on Commerce St.

Right!!! It fills a gap and does so with a little (not much) flair with the protruding darts around it. Personally, I think it looks like a 1970s building in some sunbelt boomtown but it should have better height than the renderings depict.  If B'way/West End is going to be a grand boulevard (Nashville's version anyway) then this building sure beats a one-story Firestone garage. 

While I wish it was significantly taller, it is 1000% better than than an auto repair shop and dealership.  This will at least give  the visual effects of a gateway into downtown. 

I do hope that developers will go taller in the very near future.  Otherwise, the skyline is going to have squatty feeling.  I would love to see 4-5 towers disbursed in downtown that are 60+ stories.  Even a couple of tall skinnies would be fine with me just to offset everything appearing to be of similar height and width.  505 somewhat accomplishes that.  But it would have been better if it was 60+.

^^Does it look like the McDonalds side of the building is going to be flat instead of the “diamond” look?

[smeagolsfree]

It would make sense as they are planning for another building at that location. Someone will buy and demolish that nasty hamburger place at some point and give Ronald a lot more money than he deserves. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I think that section will be flat up to the top of the parking deck. There will then be a setback that will serve as an amenity deck, and the office portion will then have the “diamond” look to it.

I share the sentiment/lament/opinion that this building would be waaaaaaaay better, more visually stunning, potentially iconic if it's height was slated for 500'+.  Was referring more to the finished appearance and how it tends to differ from anything else  we have.  I've complained on several threads about the "squattiness" (making that up) of our buildings, especially the newer ones.  Each new one feels like yet another missed opportunity to truly reshape/redefine the skyline.  Some designs even feel borderline lazy.  Just saw the announcement about the Gibson Residences.  Here we go again.  21 stories = squatty.  How many more standard or L-shaped boxes can one city have?  We have to be at our limit.  I'm going to look that up in the ordinances. 

Said it before and will keep saying.  That's why I'm a diehard fan of and pulling hard for:  Buckingham, Circle South, 2nd & Peabody, Fairmont, and Tony G's duo.  They each represent height PLUS singular aesthetics and would absolutely redefine the skyline.

Last thought and will end this rant.  I don't like when random poster's take shots at Nashville in comparison to their city.  Borrowing ideas that have proven to get results in other cities however, is another thing all together.  One I wish we'd borrow is the ordinance Atlanta passed back in the eighties (I think) that outlawed the old international style of skyscraper or flat roofs or something like that.  It seemed to help spur some nice, visually stunning designs that didn't follow the norm and that's what I'd really enjoy seeing in my beloved Nashville.

It's been a weird transition for Nashville.  We’ve gotten a TON of really good projects, not only downtown, but in SoBro, the Gulch and even Midtown.  So happy to see the Broadwest residential tower go over 400’ because I would have never expected that height west of the interstate even 10 years ago.  However…there are these crazy height limitations in some parts of the city that end up giving our skyline a flattop look.  I do wonder if there were no height limitations in DT, SoBro, the Gulch or along West End / Broadway in Midtown if we’d still have the exact same skyline…or would we have some taller structures poking their heads above the rest?  I just don’t know.

[MLBrumby]

It's a bass-ackward small town attitude that (for some reason) believes they can retain Mayberry on the Cumberland.  I see it as the same mindset that was set against mass transit.  It's unrealistic and it will end up causing more problems if they ignore the growth.

This comment made me think:  wow, imagine if we DIDN'T have the benefit of these pedestals.  Imagine just how stumpy the skyline would be.  Don't even want to imagine it...  Come on Nashville, let's go!  Giddy-up (with emphasis on the UP)!!!

[downtownresident]

They’ve started installing steel along the lower levels, which gives us an idea of how the “points” will shape up. From the morning, taken across Broadway: 

You can see a few points along the portion of the garage that will form the amenity deck facing downtown:

Caught this view today from the interstate ramp.  Moving on up.    It looks bigger from this angle because of the parking garage that will protrude from the east side.  The edge of the office tower will line up with the tower crane on the left.

Eager to see this one in it's finished form.  For just a moment, I allowed myself to dream the height had been miraculously increase to 500'.

I think this building is going to be on the list with One Nashville Place and Pinnacle for being Nashville's best looking buildings but lacks ten to fifteen stories from being something special.

I just noticed that it appears as though one of the sides of the building doesn't have those V shaped concrete edges that get a little bigger as you go up for mounting the unusual exterior panels.  Does that mean that just that one side is going to be a flat bland looking wall while the rest of the building has those interesting three dimensional V shaped surfaces?  If that's the case it's very disappointing!
