  1. During the meeting Mendes did note that if they were going to approve it today this is what it would look like. I’d be surprised to see them beef the MCM back up, it would increase the cost significantly.
  2. I'm about 75% getting through the details, will publish tomorrow. Its a great project I applaud them switching up the architecture for the towers although one looks like a sideways peabody plaza. However, I like Hastings' design language I'm sure it will be a stunner in person. There is some "artistic licensing" ( making it work in the picture) on the renderings which dont quite fit in real life but I did the best I could lol, especially given its a scan.
  3. I stayed there as well, it caught me off guard initially but it was one of the nicest and most comfortable I've stayed in. Felt like I was in a bed fort lol but it was a really cool experience. Nothing cheap about it.
  4. Since Nashville has essentially come to a temporary halt I have had time to research other municipality databases; I appreciate that Knoxville is trying to make it more accessible. Let's talk, I need to build my Knoxville projects page and could use an extra person. The Zoning Page is pretty easy to work through, their new permit page keeps crashing.
  5. I initially wanted to do both but it would have been way to long. As soon as I get a scoop (new renderings) on Reed or Beaman, I'll do the midtown feature!
  6. In the article I zoom in on both the blue and red areas. The blue areas are demisable which means that one retailer can take the whole thing or multiple retailers can have smaller spaces based on the number of retail areas shown.
  7. Thanks Mark, it was so great to have you there! I have a couple of Knoxville projects I'm following, if you know of more please share and we'll grow the market! I was very pleased with the turn out and was blown away when they said that was the most engaged article they've ever had.
  8. Thanks! Thanks Ron, this means so much and made me so happy to see you and some of the crew their to support me as you have since I started. Thank you and working on a business model that can incentivize folks to contribute to the site with their content and knowledge.
  9. I spoke with a couple of older residents at the Starbucks this morning, apparently Kroger has a new location they missed the community meeting but heard from others.
  10. Thats a good observation and I agree about the boomlets over the years, which can also be seen in the architecture, and honestly may not be the worse way to grow in some regards. I think one factor that's relatively new is the regulation (or lack there of) around STRs. I think there is a place for them, however in Nashville its a Haven. While in DC, the great development boom thats still happening, resulted in new people in and around the downtown core. The wealth thats fleeing other places is being invested in Nashville which is different than large swaths of people migrating here and activating the central core outside of tourism. Those who are migrating are heading to Franklin, Wilco, Murfreesboro & Antioch ( not in that order). I believe a lot of it is contributed to the type of multifamily product we have Downtown; and of course the obvious is mass transit. At this rate we are going to end up creating clear and obvious boundaries of wealth and working class if we are only looking at WeGo bus service to tie it all together. So I guess all im trying to say is a mix of building types downtown will provide greater access for more people given the circumstance.
  11. I now look at the entire Nashville Region objectively. There really isnt a comparison based on the unique conditions(or lack there of) of this area and in this state. As a bourgeoning insider I hope we don't neglect "the middle" that other cities have during their eras of growth. In the midst of a boom like this, you gotta have something that is eventually attainable by your citizens.
  12. Lol hey for what its worth I had slides planned, however, my photo angles were off and only had one time to capture the footage. Also if you look closely at the picture of the top of the building, you can see a reflection of Moscow in the windows. The rendering wasnt really to scale for Nashville, thats why they redrew the surrounding buildings from scratch. Well it looks like it could be Moscow but it sure isn't Nashville lol.
  13. For an area that was basically industrial, & commercial & only recently branded as neighborhood, not sure we can really draw hard lines lol. I don't even think the initial developer/owners expected this lol.
  14. That is a very large and conspicuous location to operate without permits...
  15. @smeagolsfreeyou are correct. The overlay is due to market conditions... contingencies on real estate transactions for the time to rezone are becoming more slim; going with a wholesale overlay vs multiple SPs will allow a developer(s) to close a lot quicker although its more expensive. We can trade info. Although you may know more than me. And... developers know Media in Nash is sophisticated and "on the prowl" they want to engage with the community before we find it and release to the public. I'm on a board so I've been told plans but try to respect their wishes and not share prematurely.
