It’s a bird, it’s a plane …

Not to beat the superhero thing to death, but there will be something flying through the Nashville skyline Sunday.

The sign for The Pinnacle, SoBro’s 29-story, 417-foot skyscraper, will be airlifted into place Sunday morning. Guidelines from the Federal Aviation Administration will force brief evacuations from portions of a handful of downtown buildings during the operation, which is scheduled for 7:30 to 9 a.m. There will be limited street access in the area as well.

SoBro tower tops out

By Geert De Lombaerde Posted on February 23, 2009 at 3:19 pm

From a release:

Construction of The Pinnacle at Symphony Place, a rising star on the Nashville skyline, has “topped out” with the pouring of the 29th and final floor. Downtown’s first LEED Certified building, The Pinnacle is the future home of law firm Bass Berry & Sims and will be the headquarters of Pinnacle Financial Partners.

Atlanta-based Barry Real Estate Companies is developing The Pinnacle, which was designed by internationally renowned architecture firm Pickard Chilton. Nashville Commercial | Cushman & Wakefield is the exclusive leasing and management agent, and Brasfield & Gorrie is the general contractor.

Adjacent to the Schermerhorn Sympony Center, The Pinnacle is the first office high-rise on the south side of Lower Broadway. The building encompasses 520,000 square feet and is currently 50 percent pre-leased. It is scheduled to open in January 2010.

While the final floor has been poured, the profile of the building will continue to rise, with the crowning of a 40-foot sculptural architectural element. Some of the most distinctive aesthetic elements of The Pinnacle are still to come, including ambient exterior lighting and elegant formal rooftop gardens, which contribute to the structure’s ecological sustainability.
