I shared this several years ago as a pipe dream....but now that Beaman is talking about selling or redeveloping the site, there's a glimmer of hope. Obviously for a Major League Park to be built at this location, there would need to be: 1) A franchise awarded or one guaranteed to relocate here; 2) An ownership group willing to pay for the land purchase and all costs of construction. But hey...dreams gotta start somewhere. : )
These are overlays of the Pittsburgh Pirates' PNC Park (38,000 capacity) dropped in to scale in various angles on the Midtown site. Included in the site would be the purchase of all the clubs/bars along the north side Demonbruen Ave.
The views of the skyline would be spectacular at sunset.
Love the thought process. But fwiw, baseball stadiums need to face ENE. I might be wrong but I think that would require an orientation like your third picture which would be more difficult to do.

Whoops! I meant the Broadstone Gulch building there on the corner of 8th and Division

This is pretty awesome, but won't it completely block the view of the skyline when coming northbound 65 into town? Broadwest did kind of the same for 8th avenue headed into town.

My favorite part of this project is the world's tiniest bridge they put up over the pipe that exits the construction site on Division. Mini-bridge makes my day every time I walk down Division. I never walk on the opposite side of the street even if it's closer to where I'm going, because not going over Mini-bridge would just make the whole trip worthless anyways. That 6x3 foot diamond-plated piece of happiness makes my world a little bit brighter. Mini-bridge is love. Mini-bridge is life.

Holy crap what an absolute travesty. Olmsted is one of the most beautiful buildings downtown imo. A lot of effort was put into making it look spectacular and the new owners are going to paint it some god-awful yellow and slap "Powered by Airbnb" on it? Tacky as hell.

Midtown getting some density.
7 hours ago, BnaBreaker said:Agreed... it is amazing... however, not to be a negative nancy, (and I know I'm preaching to the choir) but it's still a horror show from street level in terms of having a consistent, cohesive street wall and a safe and stimulating pedestrian experience... the same can be said for most other neighborhoods too. But hopeful those improvements are coming. It's kind of laughable how 'behind the times' Nashville's infrastructure is outside of downtown. Come on city government, get on it!
For example, Division St. right outside what will be the front door of Kenect is pathetic looking... crumbling or non-existent sidewalks studded right in the middle with giant poles fronted either by parking lots or the ass end of a building that isn't really committing to fronting the street? The population density and height might be increasing in the neighborhood, but at street level this neighborhood still suffers badly from Nashville's automotive obsession.
It's not exactly pretty, but Midtown still has good walkability imo. Demonbreun Hill and the Roundabout are fantastic with nice big sidewalks and bar patios. Division is just lagging behind, but I'm sure developments like this will push it it forward. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those older bars like Rebar get pushed out.

Same opinion coming from this Boston native.
It alludes to the point that with a driverless car you ride to work (or wherever you are going) and then send it off without having to park it. Not a literal "Driverless" car, but driverless in that the traditional commuter driver doesn't exist with those services.
Driverless cars will absolutely help congestion as they become more widely adopted. Comparing them to cabs/lyft/uber misses the point. It's easily demonstrated that a machine is much better able to control its speed and flow than humans are, and that driverless cars--even when in the minority on the road--can help prevent shockwave traffic. I am pro-transit and was disappointed with tonight's results. But I think we should be aggressively pursuing all solutions. I've been disappointed to hear many pro-transit people speak anti-technology platitudes with regards to driverless cars because they think it is diametrically opposed to mass transit.
As for the results tonight, it didn't really dawn on me until today how far back this vote may have pushed Nashville. We've now rejected two plans, one for being too conservative and one for being too ambitious. I never felt like this plan was perfect, but it's absolutely impossible for transit to be so. I understand there were legitimate arguments on both sides of the aisle, but it seemed like no matter what, there was no plan that could have pleased a lot of anti-transit people. I wish people took more time to think about what a massive waste in human productivity occurs in transportation. 10 minutes extra per workday spent in traffic is 40 hours a year--an entire extra workweek you throw away on nothing because there's a bottleneck at 65/40 which will never be fixed. 40 hours you could be producing for your job or spending time with your family.

Kind of a power move by Baker Donelson--they might be increasing their presence in Nashville. Bass Berry has the Pinnacle, Waller has the Nashville City Center, and Bradley Arant has that awesome building on the roundabout. I think Baker's current building is really awesome too, so it's kind of surprise to hear they're moving (further away from the courthouse too).

As a New Yorker, I will say if you think driverless cars alone will save Nashville’s traffic woes, it won’t, and I believe it will make it worse.
Cabs/Uber/lyft/via are all essentially driverless cars... and 2 or 3 people per car and that’s it will make traffic a nightmare.
How are cabs/uber/lyft essentially driverless cars?

I'm ok with the proposed tax increases, but my concern is that they only account for a relatively small portion of the funding. What happens if the federal dollars don't come through?

Demonbreun Hill, Phase I (22 stories/264', 333 residential units, 11,000 sq. ft. of ground level retail, 5 level 340 capacity garage)
in Nashville

I've lived here a long time and this is welcome news (although I'll be moving soon anyways). The new Vibes bar has been an unmitigated disaster for this area and I'm surprised it hasn't been padlocked. Demonbreun was always a bit rowdy, but mostly in a sports bar way. The existing establishments were always good about toning the party down on weeknights and keeping things mostly civil. Ever since Vibes and 3000 went in, this has become a legitimately dangerous area. There have been tons of shootings including a murder and also a person in one of the apartments getting hit by a stray bullet. At one point I was hearing gunshots about once a week. It's also become a popular spot for drag racing (literally do not understand this). I guarantee it is more of a noise nuisance than anything on Broadway. There's no enforcement of any kind in the area anymore. I feel a bit bad if Tin Roof gets the boot since that's the original one and 20 years for a bar is a pretty good run. But I'd welcome a bulldozer to the whole thing if it means a return to some sort of safety (and fun) in that area.
