Marriott Tri-Brand, 21 Stories, 486 Rooms, $137 million
henburg replied to evansnathan's topic in Nashville
Fascinated to see how these will turn out, could be a good case study for something that a lot of our buildings downtown may need to do one day- 325 replies

It almost appears to still have some sort of protective plastic coating on it, but hard to tell from the photos for sure

I think it's also "Bradley", so a 50/50 split for both companies

I don't know a lot about economics, but unfortunately this is not the mindset of developers/investors in Nashville at all from what I've seen. Outside of maybe AJ Capital in Wedgewood-Houston and the group behind River North on the East Bank, it feels like most are afraid to be pioneers in this city. I'm not saying this tower is dead yet either, but I think that a lot of us are trying our best to rationalize and mislabel what is likely a delay. I hope I'm dead wrong on that, but it just feels like I've seen this movie before. It's frustrating too because apparently it's relatively simple to build two towers with an added height larger than one consolidated new tallest in this city.

They're gonna follow the Truist Park model and build in WilCo aren't they? I know people like that park but I would hate that so much

I love that it looks like Tailgate will be unaffected based on the renderings!

Seems embarrassing for the construction company, although there have been other issues in this area like the crane base that wasn't set properly.

I wouldn't even advocate for the driverless aspect of this, but I do think it's really important that the cars look and function like these do for any BRT type of plan that it seems our city is heavily leaning toward now. Not only is the design more efficient and easy to load on/off than the buses currently on our roads, but I think that we're going to need something drastically different from the traditional bus design to help get more non-transit users to buy in. These are eye-catching and as a result I think that they would be much more successful in winning over new riders than simply placing electric buses in a dedicated lane will.

I am shocked by that, but I was also shocked that it remained on the market for as long as it did in the first place. 8th Ave is a weird street in general right now because for every decent urban development that gets put up, there's one like this, or the fact that the Burger King drive thru practically next door was badly damaged in storms last year and they simply opted to rebuild it rather than test the market and put something more suited for the location there.

It feels like this building has taken forever, but it does look really nice. Lots of subtlety in its design and attention to detail.

This one is a stunner when driving West on Demonbreun, it gives the illusion of being much slimmer and taller than it truly is. The curve is fantastic.

To me, the thing that WeGo misses as a brand outside of the name just sounding like a gimmicky rideshare service is that a city's transit system is so often connected to the area it serves culturally and its riders almost feel pride in it. Go to Atlanta and you can literally see MARTA-inspired merch in shops. Something like that could never happen with the name WeGo and its stale, corporate branding that we've gone with.

You're probably right, but it's not as if the Mall has fully lived up to this vision in its current state. Nearly half of the immediate property surrounding it is dedicated to surface parking and the Tennessee Capitol Complex Service Center, which is an incredibly uninviting building. The State has only recently begun showing interest in it. On the other hand, baseball has a huge history in that area and I'd argue that it would be a much better use to help complete the vision for that area than what currently sits there. I think that a park connecting the State Capitol, State Museum, City Farmer's Market, State Library, and an MLB Park would be oddly cohesive and instantly become an awesome neighborhood specifically for locals, which Nashville could definitely use.

My skepticism with some of these rumors aside, I will say that in regards to a potential stadium, my dream has now become First Horizon Park being renovated and expanded to support MLB as well. It's such a perfect location with the skyline view to the North, the proximity to downtown and the fact that it is already so nicely nestled in the urban neighborhood. Not to mention, it could result in an easier sell to Nashvillians as well due to the chance for reduced costs and infrastructure already being in place for the most part. You would be a bit more landlocked with Brooklyn Bowl, Third & Home, and the new Ballpark Village apartments being constructed around the North & East sides of the stadium, but I believe that there could still be some room for growth as well due to the rather barebones garage that currently sits behind right field and the currently very underutilized State property and parking lots on Rep. John Lewis Way. I realize that it would pose some unique challenges, but I guess this vision really originates from when I went to watch a game at Wrigley Field this summer. The surrounding area, the scenery, and the overall community feel of the Ballpark all combined together to create something truly unique and I had some of the most fun I have ever had at a sports game. Not to directly compare Wrigleyville to Germantown, but I think that there are similarities there in the Residential/Retail focus of the area that could really result in a more authentic Nashville experience than simply trying to start from scratch and create something entirely new like the Braves have done.

The current White Sox stadium lease does not expire until 6 years from now I believe, so there's a bit of time before something like this could even become reality. It still feels like a pretty textbook ploy from ownership for receiving public funds to support a new stadium development to me, but I also feel we've clearly become the number 1 choice on MLB's radar with the Las Vegas A's seemingly becoming a done deal.

henburg replied to smeagolsfree's topic in Nashville
It catches a lot of flack around here simply for being our tallest for over 30 years now, but without it, our skyline instantly becomes really boring and pedestrian. We just need a couple of more daring designs alongside it to push things further. -
We have a ton to be proud of, Nashville really was the better team for the vast majority of that game. Credit to their goalie and of course, Messi, for that insane goal. I unfortunately could not afford tickets, but the atmosphere was electric even on TV. This stands out to me as as one of the most exciting sporting events that this city has ever hosted.
-
It's my understanding that the Stadium design itself is pretty close to finalized, it's more the surrounding areas that remain visionary right now.
