Excited About Skyscrapers.

I’m not sure why it is, but I really like tall buildings. A few years ago I was addicted to a computer game called Sim City. It was the quest to build as many huge buildings a possible. (Hey- who has time for that these days?)

Now I’m getting my thrills watching all the development planned for Nashville. There are several high-rise towers planned for Nashville, but the one I’m most excited about is the Signature Tower.

Tony Giarratana along with Novare Group of Atlanta is developing the structure, which is slated to be 70 stories and over 1,000 feet tall. That’s 400 feet taller than the BellSouth Tower and taller than any buildings in the Southeast including Atlanta’s Bank of America Plaza.

It, along with the host of other projects slated for downtown, are a testament to the growing economy and strong market that Nashville is enjoying, including being rated by Kiplinger's as the #1 smart place to live.

I was fortunate to attend a presentation of the Signature Tower by Tony Giarratana himself. It was exciting to hear about this magnificent structure from a man so passionate about it.

Giarratana explained that the tower would be the “best of the best”, truly a world class building with all the amenities and upscale finishes that you’d expect in a project of this caliber. He expected the construction to be about a 3-year process with occupancy beginning in 2009. Condominiums range from 900 to a massive 7000 square feet with 85% of them being corner units.

Recent news articles report a slight delay, but it plans are still underway to begin construction July 1st.

If you haven’t seen them already, you have to see the renderings of Nashville’s projected skyline. I especially like the one showing the finished Encore building and the new Sounds ballpark.

What will it cost you for a piece of this landmark? The 1 bedroom units start at $423k and the penthouse unit that has over 5000 sq. ft. of terrace in the sky will sell for around $7.5 million! If you’re ready to write that check, please call me right away and I’ll get the paperwork started…
