Rolling Mill Hill, Rutlege Hill, and SoBro, last January.  Exciting to think of how different this will appear in the next 5 years:

Hot, hazy morning!!

that view is startling, it makes the downtown area look so much larger than what I picture it in my head.

Note the difference in height between the 505 and the 5/3rd. Should be only 524' - 490' = 34'. LOL!

And let the Bridgestone vs. Pinnacle debate continue (460' - 417' = 43'...?)

 

 

Edit: On the other hand.....

...if you subtract 5/3 from 505 you get 503 & 1/3rd.

In terms of what?

[NissanvilleTitans]

Gotham city? Definitely not metropolis

[Pyramid Scheme]

Kansas City is pretty close I think.

In terms of skyline, I'd say we sit comfortably somewhere between Louisville, KY and the big Ohio cities (Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus). New Orleans is pretty similar in terms of skyline but kills us on street level. St Louis is probably our closest equivalent, IMHO. Kansas City dwarfs us.

In terms of density, I honestly feel like Dallas is comparable, encompassing both downtown and uptown.

[urbanplanet17]

Honestly, take away the AT&T building and I would say Phoenix.

Schermerhorn and Pinnacle.  Looking SE from near 4th Ave. South and Symphony Place:

I thought 505 was 545 ft?

It was originally listed as such, but apparently new information was released at some point wherein the developer revised the height to be 524'. That is the height listed in the World Almanac which I think is based on the data provided by the Council on Tall Buildings.

[Skyscrapergeek]

The stacking plan from the 505 app shows 524' although it's difficult to see in this screen shot. For the sake of accuracy the thread title should be corrected.
