    I think the heavily residential portion of the development will help sell it. There are limited, "high end" housing options as Belle Meade/Hillwood residents age out of their homes (with large lots and expensive upkeep). I can see the walkability and mixed use aspect being very good selling points. If it were 90% office space, I'd see it having more issues.

    I almost always park in the back garages but when coming from Glen Echo, to make the current jog to get onto Crestmoor can mean sitting through a couple of lights while a left turn and darting into the lots from the “access point” can be quicker. The new set up will be great for those coming from Glen Echo.

    I agree the access point should close, but a good number of folks (including me sometimes) use it as a quicker way to get into the mall parking lot. The trade off is that it will create more of a back up at the main entry point 100 ft. or so down the road.

    Wow, the blasting needed for a garage of that depth/size will create a firestorm. I'm not against redeveloping the corner, but the scale just won't fly. Typically a project of this scale would start at 3-4 floors at the Post/White Bridge corner and get taller as you went down White Bridge. This would keep the project in scale with the adjacent (and not going anywhere) 1-2 floor housing. I don't get why they would start so tall at that corner. Villa Maria, on the opposite corner, is tall, but set much further back from the road.

    It appears that someone jumped (or fell) from the Four Seasons this morning. Corner of 1st/Demonbreun.

    There is a certain irony that a bar with a black color scheme is going into a building just painted completely white.........

    I cannot read the article, so are they using the old Harris Teeter space and adding the vacant theater space to it or just using the old Harris Teeter space? It was fairly large. I liked the old Harris Teeter, but parking was limited and tight in the garage. But it's also not exactly abundant (or convenient) across the street at the current Kroger. I grew up shopping at the first Kroger location at Belle Meade Plaza that's now the aligned White Bridge road/Woodmont Blvd.

    Elevated design, prettier buildings, often happens where there is competition. Where developers are competing against the other guy building a few blocks away. In Nashville, for good or bad, we have no trouble filling new housing/hotel rooms, so why spend more on better design? It's part of the reason our office buildings are looking better, competition is more prevalent.
  9. Nash_12South
    Just my opinion, but this is an incredibly boring design.

    I too will be shocked if this gets anywhere. The neighborhood will push back majorly. I’ve nothing against redeveloping the site, but this is huge. I almost bet it’s purposely huge to look good when they offer to cut a floor or two off.

    Finally, a building permit is pulled for 2701 12th Ave S. for Vuori (upscale athletic wear). It looks like it will be total rework of the front façade. The back (left in the pic) is already under construction for a coffee house.

    A name that popped into my head was - Julian's. Could that be it?

    I look forward to what is coming, but I'm really sad to see this are being demolished. I passed it very often in my many decades of living in Nashville. My father and for a while my mom both worked at the former Baptist Hospital. I ate at Rotiers and shopped at the drug store that was there, even at the old Tower Records. It was on my lunch time walks when I worked nearby for many years. Again, I look forward to the new tower.
  14. Nash_12South
    I agree. I think this is a basic, this is what you get for the lowest purchase price, with the thought most buyers are going to throw in extra dollars for upgrades.

    They windows are definitely from years ago. This would have been a good time to change it to something a little more in keeping with the rest of the building. I'm sure metro probably wanted that, but somehow couldn't get them to do it.

    There are lots of positives to living downtown. They outweigh the bad. Those of us, who are downtown regularly, living and/or working, just want to keep it that way.

    The homeless weren't on the 6th floor of the garage I typically park on. It's tourists, I see them in the garage every day I park there, and 90% of them are totally no problem. This type stuff is worse than in my 26 years of parking downtown. I currently work downtown 3 days a week. These are my experiences. For the most part I've grown to ignore all the issues and just accept it's part if downtown life. But it is worse now. Just my opinion, we have enough rules/laws in place now to handle things...if they were just enforced.

    The problem has never really been with event tourism. Those events are usually better policed and better controlled than the day to day life on Broadway. When you want to dismiss the concerns about the increased rowdiness on Broadway, consider where the voices are coming from. Is it really in the best interest of property owners, whether they be residential properties, commercial owners, downtown business and tourism leaders to bad mouth their home turf? And now with bar owners joining in, are they all really exaggerating that much. In going to my car, yesterday, on the upper floor of downtown parking garage I had to by pass where someone had pretty recently hurled, and it was 2pm in the afternoon, and this is not unusual.
  19. Nash_12South
    While I’m glad to see the restoration/renovation of the upper floors of the building, I wish the first floor was not just modern storefront. It could have been made to look at least a little historic.

    You are correct. I don't understand all the financial parts of this. But I do know that this is too early to expect many answers to a lot of, admittedly relevant, financial questions. Just my understanding is that this announcement was meant to be all pretty pictures and gaining good PR and not explaining all the costs and financing. Folks seem to be getting angry/frustrated at not having information that at this stage of a project isn't really knowable.

    It's possible for a designer of stadiums to produce early renderings and provide ballpark cost estimates. It's hard, and I'll say irresponsible, to provide estimates on what is essentially a blank slate that surrounds the stadium. Garages will likely be part of neighboring developments, which haven't been designed. Parking will be likely be cheaper in an 8-floor development over a 4-floor development. Give this time to play out. Did we know anything about all the infrastructure costs of Music City Center the week it was announced?
  22. Nash_12South
    I don't see the costs to the city for the infrastructure. Outrageous..... Again, I'm kidding. Looks great!!!
  23. Nash_12South
    Have they announced the infrastructure costs to the city???? Kidding, Looks great.
  24. Nash_12South
    Until we have some level of design of the areas surrounding the new stadium it's pretty difficult to know what it will cost. The stadium announcement is kind a like a couple announcing that they are getting married. They generally don't say we're getting married and - mom and dad - the wedding is going to cost $21,315.45, excluding the flowers.
  25. Nash_12South
    Is this really news? When this was announced did anyone say that all the infrastructure costs were included? Any redevelopment of the area, even if no new stadium is built, would need hundreds of millions in new infrastructure. I'm waiting for a story on how a new stadium would create traffic headaches on game days. Apologies for the sarcasm......
