  1. I don't disagree with the above commentary, however Historic Edgefield is full of long time residents who mostly never wanted to see Nashville grow to where it is today. It's a lot of the reason why that particular neighborhood is difficult to deal with at times.
  2. Someone smarter than me might be able to tell us if an SP that shows a specific construction type (mass timber) is contingent for the build. If the SP passes are they allowed to switch to concrete, for instance?
  3. Brick buildings done today are not structural. Brick building when this was built...structural. No doubt there are supporting elements in that wall now that are new holding it up, but this wall is a bunch of brick stacked triple-wythed (a guess) to give it its rigidity. When you want to go tall...you gotta have a wider base. See Monadnock Building in Chicago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monadnock_Building
  4. I think it's too short for a garage and provide active use along Gallatin (which would be a requirement). So 5 stories of apartments would need the garage. Here is CandyAisle's super crude massing o' fun.
  5. At 7 stories with the bottom two being a different construction type, the top floor would likely be out of range of the fire truck access height. Type V construction can go over concrete (commonly called 5 over 1), but realistically to get to 7 stories, it would need to be all concrete, IMO. Don't think this area is warranting that kind of development. I live in close proximity so I'm sweatin who is gonna come in.
  6. Monstrous pool. Monstrous amenity deck. The scale is hilarious in this photo. They'll need someone serving beverages to give out to residents by the time they make it out to the pool from the elevator core.
  7. Are you sure the crossbars aren't providing lateral support so the building doesn't fall down?
  8. The lease of First Horizon Park is owned by an individual who isn't going to sell it or give it away to any MLB group. Full stop. Just one architect pretending to help.
