I worked downtown for ten years. I don’t recognize it. There is no recognizable skyline anymore. The landmarks are gone. All of this glass architecture could be in Dubai or Berlin or London. It’s all the same. There’s no sense of regionalism. No beauty. Just slick, soulless, glass facades. The War Memorial is dwarfed and hidden. I liked having the Bat Building as a Nashville Icon. And Hume Fogg, the library, so many other buildings that made downtown Nashville unique. Broadway seems reserved for drunk tourists and drunk bachelorettes. Now I can’t see the Capitol building when I drive up Charlotte. Why look like Anyplace USA? Downtown has lost its charm. Just another place on the globe. The developers are doing alright for themselves. Some genius is putting up the tallest glass building in Oklahoma City. In the middle of charming Brickdown. OKC is tornado alley. And normal winds will blow over your patio furniture. I wouldn’t work in it.
Church street not only doesn't have the traffic flow - it doesn't have the electrical infrastructure for a tower that size. Yes NES office is on Church street - but the nearest substations are Gay street and Demonbreun under grounds.
This isn’t our Nashville anymore. What made Nashville what it was, was small town charm. Growing with the times is one thing and necessary, but growing so inclusive and money hungry touristy has caused it to lose what made it special. Take a page out of Brad Pasleys book and use your resources to build something sustainable that will last and help the real problems here instead of building bigger buildings to cover them up so no one can see them
SMALL TOWN CHARM?😏 NASHVILLE LOST THAT WHEN OPRYLAND SOLD OUT TO BIG CORPORATE ENTITIES & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. NASHVILLE IS THE NEW HOLLYWOOD WITH LESS ROOM & LOWER LIVING EXSPENSES. 😏
We came to Nashville over 45 years ago. Nashville used to be a very charming city. Now Nashville is congested with 150 000 newcomers from all over, traffic, crime , gang activity, etc.
Will anyone who doesn't make six figures a year be able to afford any of these new condos and apartments? No? Then file this under "C" for "Crap, Who Gives A".
No. They will not. Our kids won’t own a home until they inherit ours. We couldn’t buy our own house today. They tore down affordable homes in the Nations and replaced them with two on a lot stacked trailers for $750k a piece.
I lived in Nashville about 20 years ago and it looks totally different now. I've always thought downtown Nashville looked short and small compared to places like Atlanta and Charlotte. And let me guess that all the older generations is complaining like they do in every city that's growing. They want to keep that country small town boring feeling.
This should be a wonderful addition to Nashville. It is my observation that cities like people either grow or die. I remember when the L&C tower was not only the tallest but the only skyscraper in Nashville. Then the National Life building, known today as the Tennessee tower was completed in 1970, I was 10, and many said Nashville had lost its way, may as well be in NYC or Chicago, and predicted the worse. LOL
I WAS WORKING RIGHT THERE AT WHOLE FOODS WHEN THE GROUND COLLAPSE HAPPENED AT THAT VERY SITE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I STOPPED WORKING THERE THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE I SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I HOPE I'M WRONG BUT HISTORY SAYS THAT PEOPLE WILL DIE DUE TO MAN'S UNWILLINGNESS TO SEE THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. 🏢 😐
I thought about that too. Too much is happening too fast, corners are being cut. The same developers for this project are the ones who handled 505, the place that had that fire and electrical explosion back in September.

I moved here from Colorado to be closer to my family. I’m honestly disappointed with the roads conditions here. Additionally I live in the Gulch and it’s basically just tourist, party buses and drunken tourists. My lease is up in March 2025. Unfortunately I will be leaving the state as I’m really disappointed that the state doesn’t make any significant investments into its infrastructure.
I hear you. I lived in Midtown and Belle Meade for a bit. I was there for four years and left Nashville in January. Broadway gets old quick. The roads in Nashville are horrible. Best of luck.
People keep saying the AT&T building is the tallest but there are a couple of others already that have a higher roof height. It's dumb that spires count to building height.
This video showed up on WTVF's youtube channel, about two hours after a video was added to WSMV's youtube channel on the risk of earthquakes in Tennessee.
Just think how tall the future will get in Nashville maybe the talledt apartment tower now this is no joke. That adds up when you build high rise or skyscrapers yeap looks good cNt wait to see the taller ones
Tennessee puts all it money into Nashville, while it neglect it other cities. I could think of how the people in Memphis feel, who use to be the largest city in Tennessee. Than the issue with crime in the state of Tennessee. I like to think that North Carolina is better at distributing it money across the state. Like Charlotte is really growing! But Raleigh is allow to share in this growth as well. I personally like Raleigh as a city compared to Charlotte. It still has that personal southern charm. Nothing on Richmond level though. And Charlotte and North Carolina can't compare to Nashville (Memphis) and Tennessee when it comes to Tourism and Entertainment! The mountains and the venues for just having a real good time.
If Memphis was treated like Raleigh, I personally think Tennessee will surpass North Carolina. It has the bones. The Mississippi. The mountains. A commuter rail, which beats the light rail in Charlotte. It has much nicer looking cities than NC. Knoxville is a Jewel. But Tennessee does not promote itself like NC, which is sad. Tennessee is simply BEAUTIFUL.
@@qolspony North Carolina has higher and more mountains, more lakes, large cities, more towns, less poverty, and of course, the beautiful Atlantic ocean as well. There are no eastern US states with more natural beauty than North Carolina.
@richh650 This is completely different of what I just said. While Tennessee is about Entertainment and Tourism, North Carolina is about Education, Health and Business/Finance. Tennessee is more scenic than North Carolina by far. It is where many North Carolinans go on long trips unless they on the shoreline, than it is myrtle Beach. There also Charleston for history, which NC simply don't offer. Virginia has a little of both of these. Virginia Beach, the Shipyard, Navy and NOVA.
Memphis is one crime pothole. Nashville is a smaller crime pothole but nicer. I like East Tennessee. But Tennessee doesnt compare to North Carolina. NC has mountains and the Ocean. Better schools, infrastructure, less crime, better healthcare etc. Ive lived in both states and Ilike both but NC gets my vote. Virginia is alot like NC also having Mountains and Ocean.
@@crhodes8377 Virginia is much more expensive though. And Tennessee Mountains are more beautiful. It cities are more beautiful. Some of Virginia cities are more beautiful. But North Carolina cities are pretty bland and they resemble each other greatly. I don't know what Tennessee is known for. But NC is known as the BARE MINIMUM. It's acceptable! But it isn't the best. I do agree that crime is less in North Carolina. The crime rate is the fourth worse in Tennessee. But it is still very beautiful.
@@williammaddox3339 Sadly. You are right. We at least have 5 more floors. 60 vs 55. And they were completed around the same time. This is more about Bank Of America expansion during the 1980s than anything.
BOA in Atlanta is at 1023ft. Tallest in Charlotte is over 800ft. Miami has one going up that is 1049 ft. You don’t even want to add in all the Texas Cities.

The Natman building looks ridiculous and silly, even a bit ugly.
Old people always complaining.
Nashville doesn't need a new tower. It needs to fix its worthless, clogged up interstate system.
You would think with all this new tax money they could at least fix the roads? Nope all that money is going into the crooked politicians pockets…
Agreed…unfortunately infrastructure is not a priority. Same capacity as 1967 on the interstates in Nashville.
If it wants to be a real city it needs some transit
The bat tower is clearly Nashville’s dominant landmark.
Church street not only doesn't have the traffic flow - it doesn't have the electrical infrastructure for a tower that size. Yes NES office is on Church street - but the nearest substations are Gay street and Demonbreun under grounds.

505 building
It only took 1 year and 45 days to build the iconic Empire State Building. How we have declined.
Accept change and stop complaining.
Accept these nuts in your face
I remember when the L & C tower was THE skyscraper in Nashville.
This video showed up on WTVF's youtube channel, about two hours after a video was added to WSMV's youtube channel on the risk of earthquakes in Tennessee.
We do have some short skyscrapers compared to most major cities.
Ugly glass towers
well good thing I bought a condo in Nashville in 08. I'll sale it for $200,000.
A.I needs housing. 😢
NIMBYs reject plans paid for by developers and wonder why no money comes into their neighborhoods
Just think how tall the future will get in Nashville maybe the talledt apartment tower now this is no joke. That adds up when you build high rise or skyscrapers yeap looks good cNt wait to see the taller ones
Another monument to wealth inequality
15minute cities inbound for TN unfortunately
This is bad
No doubt it will stand out. The rest of the skyline is short and stubby.
Not too far from one of my favorite stores on church st 😂
Another storage building
Whatever, let’s see the outcome. I’m not complaining
is it my old eyes, again,
or was the Tennessee State Flag, behind the Mayor, Upside-Down.. again ??
Glass towers are so boring. some art deco skyscrapers would be amazing and set Nashville apart from every other midsize city in the country.
Tennessee puts all it money into Nashville, while it neglect it other cities. I could think of how the people in Memphis feel, who use to be the largest city in Tennessee.

I think Charlotte NC will remain the tallest in the south east when this tower goes up.
No that belongs to Miami and Atlanta second.
