    This one is about to get going up fast.

    Careful now. Don't need anyone muddying the waters there with those fine folks in Raleigh. If you want to see the Holiday Inn Trash Can design, you may travel to Charleston, SC to see it. I don't need both Carolinas represented for that particular design...especially when it is so problematic in addressing active street frontages.

    This was Marr and Holman's first Art Deco project...and if you've been inside, you'd know that the inside is NOT Art Deco at all. Guess they were still figuring it all out in 1929.

    Of note for everyone regarding this: https://www.hotelmanagement.net/openings/rockbridge-s-newest-nashville-project-noelle-officially-opens

    They JV on development. I'd bet that this is not the direction.

    Still showing that bend in 2nd Street at the stadium. *eye roll* The NFL Domain radius is likely to make that stretch of 2nd Street pretty tough from an urbanist point of view but it's good to see the north and south sides substantiated to have more plausible active frontage.

    The current heights are based on practical capacity of infrastructure. I imagine there would be opportunity for increased height allowances that follow prescribed road maps similar to our current Bonus Height Program.

    Don't lump the zealous Edgefield neighbors in with the level-headed East End neighbors. 5 Points is actually in East End and the NIMBY responses in that neighborhood are generally calls for greater density of housing to be accompanied with any tentative development. This project is entirely within Edgefield's purview.

    Generally correct. I believe the question is “how tall is this project at 21 stories?” That is determined by the DRC and Planning Staff. They allowed for the “grade level” to be considered at Church Street instead of 12th Avenue, So this is 24 stories from 12th Avenue but 21 stories from Church Street. They are placing the 19th floor concrete now. They’ll place the 20th, 21st, and Roof Floor before being topped out.

    But a major point of modernist structures is to detach from stylistic decisions. The "sandstone" is exposed aggregate precast concrete. The color is honest to what it is. As soon as you decide to paint it, you are now beholden to paint it again in 10 years...and again 10 years after that...and so on. Not just for trendy updates, but also for maintenance. I think of it as being wasteful.

    Saw them out there the other day taking a look around. Early stages. Flow test is typically an early "need to know" item to begin a design.

    LOTS of Sewer work. LOTS of NES work. LOTS of water work. Poles still aren't down.

    Sigh....according to this article... Neuhoff - S9 Architecture Nashville Yards - Gresham Smith Ritz Carlton - SOM Riverside - SOM River North - Hastings Paseo South Gulch - WHO KNOWS, but GoodVets is going in and Clark is building it!

    Webcam doesn't show the area that is in the rendering above. It's behind the Tower II mass...webcam is of Tower I.

    Warehouse District site has been re-zoned for 40 stories.

    As a reminder…due to the offensive nature of some projects recently completed within the downtown core that completely complied with the Downtown Code and avoided any conversation with Planning or the Design Review Committee…all projects within the Downtown Code must go through the Planning Department now.

    Saw one pane yesterday. East side at the bottom.

    3 levels are below Church Street so that image shows the start of the 13th floor.
  20. CandyAisles
    Nah
  21. CandyAisles
    It’s 2023 opening. And of course not.

    "STOP. PAINTING THINGS. THAT DON'T NEED. PAINTING!"

    Anyone know what's going on with the facade treatment at the UBS Tower downtown on Deadrick Street? The east face looks to have some repairs or some cosmetic changes going on. I believe that tower is a Perkins and Will product from 1970...actually quite beautiful in detail. Really really hope they aren't painting the precast.

    NES/NDOT/Metro Water, etc are all extremely overwhelmed. I know that sounds like a "line", but it really is true. The entire country is overworked right now but government entities still are trying to be conscientious about budget even when development is going bananas.
  25. CandyAisles
    Yep...almost as if they are waiting for NES poles to be taken down to begin the rest of it.
