Cannot Believe I Missed This!

I feel duped! I had been under the impression this was a 26 story 278 foot tall project, but it turns out it's only 21 stories and not any taller than Encore! I re-watched the ground breaking on News Channel 5 and thought I misheard what was said, so I read the copy and yes, the building is no longer 26 floors as was the initial floor count. ( I am not referring to the original rendering of 40 stories and 500+ feet.)

To say I am disappointed is an understatement, but I have said before Nashville was never meant to be a skyscraper city. We are a mid-rise city and I guess I will have to accept that fact! Don't count on the peabody to be anywhere near this height. The last rendering for a peabody about 10 years ago was 12 stories.

It still likely stands at 278ft even with only 21 stories. That's only a little more than 13ft per floor, and when you consider the height of the first several floors of lobbies, event spaces, etc. it's not really a stretch to get to that number.

Just got reply from ESU. He spoke to an Omni Official and its 267 feet. Encore is 235.

MB8, I think there's going to be enough going on at street level, you might forget to look up. In the long run, isn't that better than few more floors?

You are right about that Dave!
