What residential towers are planned for your city?

[streetcreed]

During the last few years there are tons and tons of residential infill projects and smaller scale residential urban building conversions. I am wondering what large scale condo/apartment tower projects are on board, or just opened, for your metro or closest large city?

I'll start with mine

Columbus

20 story North Bank Condos

This will be Columbus' 2nd 15 plus condo tower in a few years. There are many many infill and conversion projects occuring but only one other large scale downtown residential tower has opened in recent years.

Completed in 2001 was the Marinova at 26 stories and it is Ohio's tallest residential structure.

[cmj2k5]

The Vue in Charlotte = wow. <3 it.

[UrbaniDesDev]

I particularly like P&L District in KC, The Cultural District Riverfront in Pittsburgh, Harbortown in Detroit and EPICenter in Charlotte. The all seem to be more than just a residential development. They are projects destined to change the dynamics of life in the city

[ariesjow]

There aren't any residential high-rises planned for Ann Arbor but my hometown of Nashville seems to have plenty.

The Signature Tower is still proposed but all is looking excellent for this project to break ground next year. It's height is still unknown but it'll likely be well over 800ft.

The Viridian which is being topped off and rises 31 floors.

ICON in the Gulch which broke ground just the other day at 22 floors in the Gulch district near downtown.

The Terrazzo which is going next to ICON in the Gulch. I believe it's 14 floors.

The Encore's final look is still up in the air since it's going right across the street fron Nashville new world-class symphony hall. Right now, it's 23 stories.

The Adelicia which I believe is 18 floors.

The West End which is set to go up near West End if approved.

[Plasticman]

Signature is a done deal. Even Emporis lists it as approved.

The height was going to be 700', then over 800', now it is still growing....think big...really big.

[UrbaniDesDev]

I think its great that people are returning to center cities all over this country! Here's to city life, where ever it may be!

[urbanvb]

I agree. It is an exciting time for a lot of cities across the world. There are a lot of people now moving back into the cities from the burbs which is opposite of what has been generally going on for many years.

[Miesian Corners]

Not only is it great that people are returning to urban cores, but the fact that progressive modern design is such a big part of these developments puts a big smile on my face. There are some really cool mod towers in this thread.

[Southernyank]

I honestly don't have the time or patience to list the Miami res. developments, but, I think you all have an idea by now.

[shane453]

There are more than 2,000 units proposed for downtown Oklahoma City. A lot of the projects are highrise office building conversions, but so far no new residential towers, aside from a strange and mysterious mention of "250 highrise apartments" in Midtown in a Chamber of Commerce report...

A study showed demand for 12,000 units in downtown OKC, so I would wager we're just seeing the beginning of what's to come. I'm thinking a residential tower announcement by the end of the year.
