    This is great news! I think that is a terrific use of that building.

    Building permit pulled for AC Hotels on Poplar: https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2024/03/21/ac-hotels-permit-poplar-baywood-marriott-flag.html

    I wonder if that's just for easier access to each floor? I can't imagine they're stripping the entire facade (based on renderings, which of course aren't always accurate).

    Thank you for sharing all these updates!

    That is sharp! What a transformative project for the area and University. Can't wait to see it completed!

    Wow. It's really happening. I know Memphis is capable of pulling off a project of this magnitude (Crosstown), but it's still surreal.

    And let's not rule out the viability of office use (at least partial). I was surprised to learn that One Memphis Place on Jefferson is 98% leased: https://dailymemphian.com/section/businessreal-estate/article/42360/memphis-downtown-office-space-changing

    I'm not at all surprised by this news. The building just doesn't seem like a good fit for multifamily. Hopefully the owner can find a buyer. We really don't need a tower at the front of downtown standing empty. Multifamily conversion at Downtown skyscraper is now off; owner open to sale https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2024/03/14/50-n-front-tower-multifamily-conversion-downtown.html

    University of Memphis is planning a new business school building at Central and Patterson. More info here: https://fcbebuilding.memphis.edu/ University of Memphis dean Bobby Garrett on the Fogelman College of Business and Economics' new complex

    Also, the Orpheum in Memphis seats roughly 2,500 and it seems to get all the big touring shows (although I'm admittedly not well-versed in Broadway productions). Surely 28 fewer seats wouldn't have that big of an impact.

    I do wish it was closer to Memphis, but perhaps this will spur additional big-name developments between the two cities to close or shorten the gaps.
  12. VSRJ
    I think both will benefit. For many, I assume it will just come down to preference between a "large-" and small/medium-sized city. In Memphis, the eastern suburbs likely will be the big winners — Lakeland, Arlington, Collierville, Bartlett to an extent, etc. Lakeland already has a billboard welcoming Blue Oval. I think those suburbs will be vying for the influx of workers.

    I admire your commitment to this bit. It must be exhausting, but you persevere.

    Good news! FAA sends MEM $16M for airport improvements https://dailymemphian.com/section/businesstransportationlogistics/article/41647/federal-aviation-administration-16-million-memphis-international-airport

    Small update: 100 N. Main developers apply for 30-year PILOT for $282M redevelopment https://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2024/02/07/100-n-main-developers-pilot-apply-incentives.html

    Is it just me (because I pass by it every day) or is this moving at a slower pace than some of the other towers under construction?
  17. VSRJ
    Oof. That is...not ideal.
  18. VSRJ
    That design is...interesting. Not sure what to think. Maybe it will look better in real life.
  19. VSRJ
    Because you missed the point I was trying to make — there's a general trend in the industry toward predominantly glass designs, and I don't think anyone can argue that. Of course there are exceptions in Nashville. But given your post history, engaging further would be a fruitless endeavor.
  20. VSRJ
    Exactly.
  21. VSRJ
    This might be a hot take (and unlikely to happen), but I'd be very ok if the glass box trend took a break for a while. I'm excited to see what this will look like.

    I braved the cold and took my new drone for a flight above a still-frozen Nashville:

    A few drone photos from the (still very low) river:

    And really, what are they going to do? It doesn't even seem that outdated, but I'm no expert in arena amenities — maybe there are less-obvious improvements needed.
