Inside 440 - Berry Hill, Midtown, Vanderbilt, 12S, WeHo, Fairgrounds, etc.

Not to mention the Vanderbilt Eng. building and the four story addition to the Children's hospital.

The Hilton Garden Inn Under construction.

There may be a few more surprises as well.

[smeagolsfree]

Oh yea, the two Turnberry towers. Almost forgot about those.

A statue expressing the joys of seeing more cranes dotting the skyline...(if we get 505 and Sheet Music underway, I might go streaking, too)

 

 

If you ever have a clothes shortage; we will take up a collection for you. Maybe even get ya some red Georgia undies and an orange Florida hat

I got my man covered with plenty of beautiful orange colored clothing options, no need for that garbage.

If you were to combine UGA and UF attire, it would probably come out as shirtless and wearing jorts.

How does the Monroe-Carrell Children's Hospital expansion at Vandy fit in? They will add 4 more floors (at 15+/- ft per floor) to the existing pushing it up over 250 ft tall in my estimation.

 

 

I don't know what the time line is, but I heard they were in fund raising mode, so it may be a ways away.

[MidTenn1]

...oh, and the US Courthouse. While "only" seven floors, it, being a courthouse, will have up to 20' floor to ceiling heights, putting it in the 140 ft tall range.The renderings show it apparently matching the 140' tall (per Emporis) Bennie Dillon Bldg across the street in height.

[MidTenn1]

One more...

 

ONEC1TY has approval for a couple of (up to) 20 story buildings, although not likely to begin by next year.

 

 

It would be incredible to see 40+ cranes up this time next year.

 

It would be like...."mmmmm, donuts!"

Keep in mind some of those cranes will be coming down soon, I would think. The Hilton Garden Inn crane can't possibly be necessary for too much longer, and I know Gulch Crossings is not far behind.

[smeagolsfree]

Children's Hospital to start early next year, according to Vandy publication I read. Adding four floors will boost this baby pretty tall on that end of town.

Enjoyed looking at the buildings through the spider webs of power and phone lines hanging about the air.

Burying utilities is surprisingly expensive, based on what I heard from the Gulch. Still, the trend appears to be that lines are gradually being converted to subterranean as properties get redeveloped.

 

All in due time!

[titanhog]

I wish cities were more forward-thinking when it comes to power lines.  Burying them costs more up front...but seems like it would be safer and free from weather issues, which could help monetarily on the back end.

[NashRugger]

While true, I don't think the other NES customers outside of the urban core really want their bills to increase for the sake of central city line burying. It's just one of those things where the US as a whole is embarrassingly behind much of the other westernized countries.

[smeagolsfree]

The building at 17th and McGavock is down and construction is about to start on Cadence.

Or jail scrubs.

There's all kinds of new Skyhouse info in here - floor plans, new renderings, etc.

Interesting... They list this one as 25 stories at 289'.

 

Also of note: They indicate the Virgin Hotel in the comparison graphic at 20/225'. Not sure if we've heard actual numbers associated with that before now...

I wish they'd do something at the Virgin site, they were in such a rush to make it look like crap...

[volsfanwill]

hmm, not enough retail space.....................................I'm kidding, I'm kidding..... oh the retail space..

[titanhog]

Great find!!  I love the ground level on both the tower and the parking garage.

 

Interesting on Virgin.  20 Stories at that location would be nice.

[barakat]

Surely the Sub Stop had been offered retail space in the building. That space is so in need of an overhaul anyway, it would be an upgrade.

[MidTenn1]

I was concerned when I learned that the garage was going to face the roundabout instead of a building entrance. However the garage is nicely done (for a garage) but still would prefer the building, itself.

 

I know they are trying to show how the building does not dominate the neighborhood in this rendering for purposes of getting a height variance. They should have shown the 'Element' at 19 stories and 190', also.

 

BTW, I guessed 287', so I was probably the closest. What do I win?

I'm pretty sure the 225' comes from the max height on the SP that was passed to allow Virgin to be built. They had to merge the three lots under the same zoning guidelines, and 225' was the max allowable. Who knows if they'll actually hit it though as I believe it was the allowed height for the most intensively zoned lot prior to the developers purchasing the site.

I've always wondered why developers don't attempt to line ALL of the outside of their parking garages with retail/office...all the way to the top floor.  They would only need to take up a portion of the outer edges and would be able to make enough from rent over time to actually pay for the garage.  Maybe they need the open slits for ventilation or something...but it just seems like the appropriate thing to do...at least on the sides of the garage facing busy streets.
