When you add this tower, Encore, the Westin and the new convention center and its' hotel(s), the CBD will essentially extend south of Broadway (blue line in the photo). Right now, Nashville's CBD is entirely too compact with small parking lots here and there ripe for infill. South is the only way downtown can considerably grow with the Cumberland River to the east, the capitol and state government buildings to the north, and the highway to the west. I'd expect to see most future new proposals in downtown Nashville south of Broadway.

I hope you're right. This tower is gorgeous and deserves to be taller. It would look great if it was 600' or taller but I don't see that happening.
