Not to say that the Nashville figure is not EXTREMELY awesome and impressive, especially for a city it's size, but there is absolutely zero way that New York figure is anywhere close to being accurate as they currently have FIFTEEN buildings over 900 feet alone currently under construction.

Interesting read. Alot the workers on these projects. are not getting paid overtime pay.

And are fired before they can even complain about it not cool.

My favorite intersection in the CBD.

Same intersection as seen by a firefighter in 1978.

Amazing comparison! Since the buildings are the same, the small changes to the intersection (crosswalks and tactile paving) really stand out, as does our modern obsession with vibrant greens in photographs. The OCD side of me is so happy to see that in the lane separators on 4th Ave are now aligned ... but is perplexed as to why there are four stripes on one side of Church and only three on the other, when both are the same width. (Google Streetview shows that until 2017 or so, there were five stripes on each side. Guess they're saving a bit of paint now )

The last pic is becoming my favorite view of the skyline especially at sunset. Just imagine, in a few years, Nashville yards, 4 seasons and the other developments are Finished

I wonder if the office tower on 5th+Broadway would fill that gap up?

I think it might.  Pretty sure that's Suntrust just to the left of the gap...right?

Looks like the office tower crane just left of the Capitol dome.  So other building would be Bridgestone.

After recreating this angle with Google Earth, it appears that is the top of the Cumberland on Church Apartments. From my very scientific virtual flyover of the city via Google Earth, Suntrust Plaza appears to be too short to be seen from pretty much any angle when looking at the skyline from the north or the east. 

The 5th + Broad office tower should pretty much fill that entire gap from this angle.  If this were looking directly south down 5th/6th, the 5th + Broad office tower would be largely blocked by 505 and First Tennessee Tower.

Weird seeing a pretty dense downtown next to the rural land of northwestern Davidson county. Lol
