    I really enjoy the look of this, but have a feeling this community will fight tooth and nail to ensure this never comes to fruition

    This may be something to watch going forward-

    There are so many shameless developers out there, it's pretty sad. I know that people are willing to stoop low to make money all of the time, but you have to imagine that it gets a bit embarrassing when people ask what buildings you worked on and you have to point toward one of these modern day commieblocks slapped on top of a barebones parking garage.

    The Titans should just play in the scrapyard as is, it's what we deserve after the last 3 weeks

    The renderings are truly stunning, but there is clearly something way off with either the scale of the proposals shown, or the height figures provided in this chart. The Ritz Carlton is by far the tallest building in every angle, yet is listed at 396' and dwarfs the neighboring Circle South at 445' and 800 Lea at 600' tall. It's not perspective tricks either, because even in the distanced shots from Fort Negley, the Ritz is clearly illustrated as the tallest building in the shot.

    Pretty cool to think that if you showed us this picture even 5 years ago, it would be nearly impossible to tell it was Nashville outside of the Renaissance Hotel peeking out from behind Alcove. This side of town is popping now and it's only going to continue.

    The signs are pretty funny, calling it the "Wedgewood-Houston Arena". If you're resorting to editorializing in order to sell your point, you've already lost in my opinion.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I agree that there are some measures that could be taken to reign in Broadway a bit, but a lot of this editorial response we're seeing of late is becoming melodramatic to me. You're telling me people are no longer supporting the Symphony because they don't approve of everything they see on their minutes-long walk from their car to the venue? I don't know, it just feels like a convenient external excuse for declining memberships to me. Furthermore, the complaints of bar owners would feel more valid to me if they weren't so quick to point the finger toward street vendors as one of the biggest catalysts to issues. I'm sure there aren't any ulterior motives there.

    I'm going to completely guess here and say that the Stadium will have a simplistic, more classically-inspired design to it to mirror Broadway/2nd Ave. Nihill continually emphasized "character" over extravagance and opulence as a direction for the new stadium, so I just have a hunch that we may see some brick and perhaps even some neon like what was featured in this conceptual rendering for Nissan Stadium renovations- Granted, I want to reiterate that I know that this is just a conceptual rendering for renovations that will never happen, but I really think that this could offer some pretty solid insight into the organization's thinking with the new building as an evergreen entertainment venue that plays off of Nashville's reputation through emulating those smaller music venue touches. If they emulate anything from Geodis, I would absolutely love to see them carry over the steep seating sections that allow the upper deck seats to feel really close to the pitch. Most NFL stadiums outside of maybe Arrowhead stadium feature lower bowls that extend far back, which feels really needless after going to games at Geodis this year.

    Loser's is easily one of the most claustrophobic, uncomfortable spaces I have ever been in. I don't blame them for wanting to expand a bit and add the hottest Nashville bar feature currently, a rooftop.

    I love the massing on this one, particularly the way that the pedestal stair steps as you go up the hill. What a simple, yet cool design feature

    A new B-Cycle Station was just added near the corner of 6th Ave and Broadway, so there is clearly still some focus being payed to downtown.

    It's wild that I remember just a couple of years ago when pretty much every single project was down-sizing and value engineering their original plans, but now we're trending the opposite way as nearly every project seems to be expanding upon their initial vision. Seems to bode well for where things are headed!

    There are now workers and equipment working to clear/prep this site, a lot of trees have been taken down already and an excavator is working to level out the hills.

    https://drifthotels.co/nashville Is this the same project? If so, I'm pretty shocked by how good these renderings look. Exterior renderings are notably missing, but it seems to be looking like a very effective rebrand if it turns out like this.

    I like this design iteration much better than the previous one!

    This building is a great case to prove that you don't need an extravagant, ornamental crown to create a tall building with great distinction. Small setbacks and great cladding make this one a real stunner, I love it. While I really feel that the 1010 design is great, I do feel that the design lacks some of those elevated details that this one has. What if the jeweled facade were to protrude from the top even just a tiny bit? What if the crown tapered in slightly?

    And their most recent American project? This beauty in Chicago- What I wouldn't give for a beauty like this in our skyline...

    I know I'm one of a very small minority of people that doesn't mind Stix that much, but I genuinely have noticed that the plants around it have looked better and more well-maintained lately. I also really do think that it will look better as the lots around the roundabout get filled in with urban development so that it will have better contrast with its surroundings. If we're thinking of art worthy to get replaced for something more grand, I really have felt that Ghost Ballet on the East Bank hasn't aged super well and could easily be something more imaginative to book-end Broadway and help mark the new era that's coming to the East Bank.

    Hopefully this one turns out like the renderings and adds some of the texture and foliage to the facade. Details like these would go a long way to help elevate it from its cost-saving roots.

    I certainly admire the effort put into activating this plaza and making it an inviting place to hang out, but it just really clashes stylistically with the building that it was placed in front of. This setup could work for me in front of an apartment building or something, but it doesn't really feel right at that location.
