[IKEA to Nashville]

Another location begging for a development like this is Rivergate Mall in the old Macy’s area. Plenty of parking available and BJ’s Wholesale already open.  Before long the whole Mall will probably be available as they are about at the stage where the last one out of the Mall, please turn out the lights!

While nice, I would prefer the rendering recently posted on the Houston skyscraper page!

[Nashville as MLB Expansion/Relocation Market]

Just throwing this out there for comments: If the White Sox or the Stars group were to build a major league ballpark here, my thoughts are that the original proposal still has the best location and potential using the location on the river at the pedestrian bridge. The next best is to modify and expand First Horizon Park. Here though is a consideration not yet mentioned I believe. Instead of tearing down Nissan Stadium, why not modify the current stadium structure to retrofit a baseball stadium there. Surely this would cost less even though it would have to be upgraded to correct the issues necessitating the need for new build versus update of the current Nissan stadium. This modification should be funded by the owners interested in bringing a team here and the timetable would allow for work to start after the new stadium is completed for the Titans. Tell me why this could or could not work.

Looks great. Now if they would find a way to light the translucent panels at night to  show the tri-Star State emblem or perhaps the Titan logo, imagine the aerial views. Heck, I would be impressed if it was able to change colors or show the Ring of Fire!

Question: Is the field big enough to field soccer?

 

 

 

 

[Nashville International Airport Development thread]

Educate me here on this runway. It allows the planes to take off headed over downtown. This may be a dumb question but “why can’t they take off from this runway going the other direction away from downtown?”

Always thought that this would make a great Hume Fogg Middle School.

Any location other than East bank will not work in my opinion.

While everyone is dreaming about a new stadium I still like the idea of a guitar shaped stadium where the sound hole of the guitar could slide back providing the open air concept when needed. The neck of the guitar would extend across the river allowing for enclosed moving sidewalks to facilitate people movement to Broadway where they would enter/ exit through the tuning pegs. The extra backspace of the guitar could allow for enclosed training field(s) and Titan offices. It could also house the new Nashville Stars stadium and allow for separate dual stadiums paid for by both ownerships under one building. The strings of the guitar could be neon lighted and the stadium would become a landmark icon for Nashville. For those still laughing at this idea, it allows for event space for concerts; homes for two pro teams, and allows for the planned restaurants and shops being imagined by the planned redevelopment of the area. Heck, throw in a giant Ferris wheel and or a roller coaster and let the fun and games begin. This concept would be funded by the billionaires in large part and supplemented by Metro only to the extent they originally planned for the Titan stadium refurbishment.  Now let the replies and comments begin. Everyone has an opinion!
 

 

 

[2022 Forecast for Davidson County]

Thanks for this list! It is hard to imagine how our city has changed and will change again in the next year or three!

[PROJECT LIST 2021]

Ron, I would also like to say Thank You for all the hard work you did to put this together. I have never meet you or been to one of the monthly meetings. I do however visit this site multiple times during the day. The amount of work that you and the other major contributors do to keep us informed is not taken lightly by me and most all the people that live for the latest updates and better yet the latest find of a new project. I am personally waiting for that announcement of a new tallest and would love to see Signature tower back on the list and under construction. Come on Tony, we need this! Thanks again!

 

[Capitol View Northwestern Mutual/HCA 32 acres of mixed use | UC]

I am aware of beginning discussions from a reliable source with NW-Mutual, that the developer is seeking State approval to build a connctor road through the current  State parking lots fronting James Robertson Parkway allowing for an ingress/egress into Jo Johnston Avenue. In exchange the developer would buid a parking garage in the currently undeveloped tract of land bound by the Railroad tracks and 10th Avenue North from Jo Johnston to Gay Street. This would be for State usage to compensate for the lost parking spaces created by the connector road. This is only in preliminary discussion but would be a major access to the development from JRP. Since more paprking spaces would be gained than lost by the State, they should be favorable to this request.

First time posting to Urban Planet, but I have been viewing for years now. Let's go ahaead and get the name right on this development. It is Capitol View and not Capital View. Do not want to come across as a grammar freak on my first post but since this will likely continue to be one of the most viewed topics on the Planet, thought we ought to call it right. After typing this however, Capital View might be appropiate for this topic. .
