I hope this gets built, as I love the spire; though I know there've been some problems finding the $$$.Originally posted by PLATO
If built today, it would be the 5th tallest building in the country. The tallest outside New York or Chicago. Nashville's Signature Tower.Comment

What amazing this is America building you ask?

I think they have most of the money worked out now (or at least close...Financiers wanted to see half the condos sold before groundbreaking. I believe they are very close on that.) The problem now with the Signature Tower is the FAA. Due to its proximity to the airport (4 miles), the FAA is wanting it reduced in height to 433 feet (current design is 1047 feet).
Giarratana has said no design changes though and the Airport Authority is behind him. Currently they are working to change takeoff and landing patterns that would be affected by the building."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

That just seems like a bad idea to me ... air patterns or not, who knows what might happen.Originally posted by PLATO

Good reason to keep airports the heck away from city centers

That doesn't sound reasonable at all for a place like Nashville.Originally posted by DanS
The prices for condos look very reasonable too. Starting at $400k for a 913 ft^2 condo."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

Yea, I heard about the FAA thing, but I don't understand the 433 feet part, when the BellSouth (or is it AT&T now?) Building a couple of blocks away is 600-something feet tall. (I know there's a hill, but it's not a 200-feet elevation increase.)Originally posted by PLATO

It's possible the air traffic patterns happen to hit that spot and not a few blocks away, but either way i'd prefer a bigger safety margin ...

Exactly. The City Paper even quoted an instance where two buildings that were side be side in another city had over a 200 foot difference in allowed height by the FAA. They are both very precise and very anal.Originally posted by snoopy369

The interesting thing is that the FAA determinations are not binding. They do affect things like Insurance Costs and required building standards.

Anybody familiar with that "Freedom Ship" project (nah it isn't ex French)?. Saw something about a while ago, it's a big ship like a city on the ocean for several thousand (or tens of thousand?) permanent inhabitants. I'm wondering if they ever going to realize that.
