To me in this comparison Nashville is really missing a centerpiece. The Batman building is different but so short and stubby, and everything else is forgettable. Charlotte has four or five buildings more interesting than any in Nashville, so it's hard for me to ever pick Nashville here given that.

I understand your view. Bank of America is a masterpiece. Nashville could use a signature tower. In fact, one was proposed before the recession of 2008.

Oh, agree 100% with you.
There is a 750 foot tower adjacent to the Nashville Yards development that is proposed, and should get built, due to its developer's track record. It is a nice looking tower, and will add some much needed height for Nashville.
Nashville also has 3-4 skyscrapers approved and proposed in between 600-700 feet, and at least 1-2 of those should start construction later in Q3/Q4 this year.
Nashville has a really strong base for density built, and at the pace of its development, will see another 8-10 completed in the 300-500 foot range by 2023.
What Nashville really needs is a skyscraper in the 800-1000 foot range. I'm optimistic they will get one eventually.

The Bank of America skyscraper in Charlotte is one of my favorite in the US--easily top 5.
Nashville needs a timeless, tall, classic similar to Charlotte's tallest, totally agreed.
The YMCA tower is sharp. I hope we can attract more towers in that range. Nashville is more structurally dense in the core than Charlotte, but has shorter buildings, so it looks smaller. At the street level, Nashville feels more urban.

To the last sentence, heck no, not even remotely close.
The density in Nashville looks more impressive. The rate of growth is also astonishing. Completely different looking city compared to several years ago while Charlotte has made more incremental improvements.
