The water tower is being preserved and relocated from the Hammer Mill site to the Van Buren site.

The gold-ish windows were replaced over a year or so with blue tinted ones.

Another Nashville crane going up in SoBro bordered by 1st, Demonbreun, 2nd, and Malloy (across 2nd from SoBro tower)

Latest progress...almost ready to pour concrete for floor at street level

Here's a pic from my office window across the street.

The crane has added 2 segments to itself today!

Base of tower crane is being installed today. http://flic.kr/p/qbrys8

The street in the view is 4th ave and Madison is just off to the left of the building.

I live on Madison across from Vista and while I initially did not like the building, I have grown to love it. Lets not talk about the almost 2 years of construction, Argh. The intersection at 5th and Madison and Madison St have changed a lot for the good in the 7 years I have lived there. More people are living around me and walking around the neighborhood. Saturday morning is a great time to sit at Red Bicycle and watch people out and about.

One level of the skybridge is the apartment gym. The very top level is open outdoor space. Not sure about the 2nd level.

It's blasting day! Felt the rumble from my office across the street. https://flic.kr/p/oy7kqJ

Few photos from my office across the street... https://flic.kr/p/okukj4 https://flic.kr/p/oBYVFK

The event is a concert protesting the honkey tonk diner to keep honkey tonks on Broadway.

I work across the street from this site and while I am excited about the building, I am not excited about contruction noise.

So much for building atop the existing one-level structure. It is currently being demolished.

Are the construction trailers now under the Demonbreun ped walkway on 2nd for this project?

Here is a link to the pdf about the borings: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1356759/Soil%20Borings.pdf

I believe that is the project going in across from Joes Crab Shack between the Seen nightclub and the boot store.

It is the lot directly north of Asurian.

Does anyone know if there are development plans for the Premier lot on the Demonbreun, 1st, Molloy, 2nd block? I received a notice Friday that soil borings are taking place this week in the lot next to my office.

Due to the rapid growth in Germantown and lack of empty land, the Germantown Street Festival may need to move further north into Morgan Park. I doubt the church's Oktoberfest will move since the churches are part of the festival.

I found the site plans on Metro's Development Tracker site: http://maps.nashville.gov/MPC/2013/091213/2006SP-022-001_plan.pdf

I believe these are indeed going at the corner of 5th and VB. At some point I saw design plans but cannot remember where. From the Nashville Business Journal today: ZM Development Co. hopes to break ground in January on Morgan Park West, a $5 million residential project in Germantown, Nashville Post reports. The project, part of the broader Morgan Park Place development, will feature residential units in three buildings. Homes in the project will range from 2,200 square feet to 2,700 square feet, with starting prices in the low $500,000s.

The historic building will be saved. According to the article... "Future plans may include luxury residential development with homes in the $250 to $300 per foot range in addition to the historic building." Also.."As for the existing building, Hammond said it would make a beautiful restaurant." I live in Germantown and am excited to hear this.
