The Plan of Nashville is 20 years old. Not 30. 2005 was its release date. If I recall, the removal of the interstate was super duper controversial to the publication. There were at least 5 different renderings of this image that never made it to public. This one made it because it delivered the idea of removing the interstate while still giving a sense of "big fat street to move lotta cars" to soften the blow. It didn't work. One of Mayor Purcell's first comments about the plan was "in what century will that happen?"

If you aren't talking about the Hermitage or the 4 Seasons, then it's not a good comparison to the EDITION. The clientele prefer completely separate services from a hotel, but they DEFINITELY want the hotel services fully managed. If you allow STR's you are, by default, not a luxury hotel or residence. I don't make the rules as I cannot afford any of those units (hell...can't afford to even stay at the hotel), but in most cases the realtors and their clients would balk.

Wildy different. One is maintained and staffed with countless employees. One is pure chaos that looks to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of money spent on upkeep.

Ha! The worm has turned! To be fair, only half of the parking has to be underground. But they are zealots about burying all the parking for any project needing ANY favors...which is every project.- 21,240 replies

There is no "crown" to the design. The system just extends up above the parapet to cover some mechanical equipment.

The designer of Paramount had a brief moment to speak yesterday at the City Now Next event. He mentioned that the height of Paramount wasn’t important but that density is something their company always believes in. He didn’t imply a shorter tower at all…but I inferred it.

But also, he may have more lucrative loans available now since this was passed. This is a huge boon to condo development…basically buys off 10% risk so it could be this is the reason he’s dumping. https://legiscan.com/TN/bill/HB0871/2025#:~:text=Tennessee House Bill 871 (In Recess)&text=As enacted%2C adds requirements for,Tracking Information

If there is a silver lining here it’s that if this doesn’t go, it’ll likely green light a half dozen other projects.
