Nice view obviously taken from the 800. Throw in MP just to the left of PNC and it will be a fantastic view. I think this angle really shows how successful MP will be in fitting into the city's skyline. Despite the outrageous design it is really only a modern twist on what is already found in Lousiville.

I expect a lot of the highrise residential developments in the coming years to focus on the river views. However, angles such as this one from the South or West offer a much more urban perspective. MP will only enhance that.

Hopefully, developers will realize this and try to capitalize on that.

I love that view. Very dense. :okay:

I like this view a lot. It is a much more attractive view across the river than straight ahead angle we usualy see, IMO.

Yea the view directly across the river isn't the best imo. I think driving from I-64 from the west or I-71 from the east provide the best views.

i hate that view

i like both views

1st view is tight. 2nd is so-so.

Love that 1st pic. :)

Louisville has a well balanced skyline

64 East-bound from the river is my favorite.

Soulbrotha, What is the 45 degree thing crossing the canyon just left of Fifth third Bank in the picture???

^^^^ Thanks man, that place seems really sweet

Very nice. I like Louisville's dense downtown :)

wow what a dense pic. My feeling says that first photo is from the 1920's era Heyburn Building. I have always thought that building should be condos...I wonder what the office vacancy is in there? They should move their tenants to newer towers and convert it to condos with views like that!

I love Louisville its my second home. Soulbro I'm up there just about every other weekend so I know what the Lou is all about. Ashame how the police shut down Derby this year though. Do you know if they have the same plan next year? I'm new on here so wats up too man.

Actually, the Heyburn building is shown in the picture. Its circled here in yellow in the bottom right:

As Carpooch mentioned, this picture was most likely taken from The 800 apartment building:

Louisville is definitely different from what I thought it was. It has modern skyscrapers and a nice skyline as well as modern buildings. I definitely have to go visit that city someday. What is the population of Louisville?

LOUISVILLE POPULATION APPROX..
700,000- City
1,220,000- MSA
1,340,000- CSA

Thank you for the population. Amazing skyline for an underrated city. You should post this city with those pictures in the Rate our skyline forum.

I have a pic in a book of nearly the same scene in top, but higher and further, and from 1970, including The 800 (probably taken from a plane or helicopter)

I should scan it and post it. Its a good before and after comparison.

As Carpooch mentioned, this picture was most likely taken from The 800 apartment building:

The deliciously retro 800 was the tallest building in Louisville from 1961 to 1971, when Citizens Fidelity (PNC Bank) topped out.

It had the second curtain wall in the city, and that curtain wall was made locally by Reynolds Aluminum (which was based in Lou. at the time)
