The only thing is that it's location is in SoBro. It will be east of the covnention center, where the land quickly slopes towards the river. The true core, where AT&T Tower is, sits upon a bluff basically and the hilly terrain gives the appaearance that other towers are taller or shorter than they appear. We'll have to see an overall skyline image to get a better grip on it's appearance elevation. I think it'll come close, but not surpass AT&T Tower. The spires were part of the design in the first place.
