    Thanks Smeags! I will post some screen shots soon. The map looks similar to a year ago. Again, a big thanks to you (and other contributors) for putting the development map together, that made putting a 3D version together very easy.

    If this runway extension happens is there even a need for runway 13/31? The newly extended runway would then be the longest and could accommodate any aircraft 13/31 could. Would they consider removing runway 13/31 at that point? It would eliminate any runways crossing over each other AND (of particular interest to most of us) eliminate any need for an aircraft to fly low over downtown, which to my understanding would remove the FAA's restriction of providing insurance to buildings over 750' tall? I thought I remember Smeags writing this in a post a while ago... In short, runway 13/31 is solely responsible for this 750' cap on building heights in downtown. I know I have to be oversimplifying this, but I'm curious to know if anyone here can shed some light?

    I believe you're correct. Someone will need to confirm, but I think that is the new Education Media Foundation (K-LOVE & Air1) HQ in the Reams Fleming development.

    Great looking building for Raleigh. Please don't put those letters on top.

    I think “targeted to younger children” is the key here. I agree that Nashville doesn’t have a children’s museum that targets children under 6. I’ve heard great things about the adventure science center, but it also frequently comes with a comment like “you really need to wait until your kids are a little older for them to enjoy it.” The closest thing we have is the Discovery Center in Murfreesboro. I think a true Children’s Museum would do really well, but I get why it’s not popular on here as well.

    Grasspave and Gravelpave by Invisible Structures are also an option. https://www.invisiblestructures.com/products/grasspave-2/ https://www.invisiblestructures.com/products/gravelpave-2/

    Teal - Proposed Yellow - Stalled/Delayed Purple - Being Planned (No official renderings proposed yet) *Orange - Just highlighting the project this thread is about

    @nashville born @UrbanWes03Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for the kind words.

    Purple is Beaman. Reed is North of Broadway, right?
  11. PostRural
    The density in midtown hugging the loop and along Broadway (if all built) seems to be much greater than Nashville Yards or any part of the CBD for that matter. Here’s some Screenshots. Granted the purple is still a big question mark. 1401 Church in orange.

    Thanks Smeags! I mentioned and credited UrbanPlanet several times in the interview for doing tons of work to gather all this information and making it easy to find in one place. Unfortunately, it was all cut. Thanks again for all the work you do here.

    I did not expect all that to happen. Very Cool! Good on Mark to reach out and ask to post it on Twitter. I noticed the UrbanPlanner Twitter followers grew by over 50% this week! Kind of Crazy. I don't post a ton because I don't really have much to say. I'm just a guy who enjoys architecture and development and wants to learn more about it. There's a lot of knowledge and information on this board and I feel lucky to have access to that information. I'm sure the people that have those connections didn't get them over night. And because that information is shared I can have fun creating 3D maps. So thanks to everyone for sharing info here so I can learn and enjoy. Glad I could at least provide something, for once instead of just take free info.

    Thank you sir! Sure! I will try to export it tonight after I clean up a few things. I will post it the Development Map thread though, that’s probably the most appropriate place for it.

    Just for fun... Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I got a little impatient and wanted to see what all these projects might look like added to our skyline. So i had a little fun in Google Earth Pro. I could only do straight vertical lines and the buildings are in no way accurate as far as shape, but they are fairly accurate in height for the most part. I frequently browse Smeags development map and it was the inspiration for this rough draft of a 3D version. It doesn't have all projects and my key (see below) probably isn't totally accurate, but I thought I'd share what i have so far. I took some creative liberties on a few, but again, it's just for fun. See some screen shots i took below. Red - Under Construction Blue - Proposed Purple - Planning Yellow - stalled or dead or who knows.

    Couldn't agree more. That Embassy Suites has to be one of the most instantly dated buildings (completed in 2001 and actually listed on Smeags Development map!).
  17. PostRural
    I am not "in the know", but typically these types of cranes are used to rise within the core of the building as opposed to externally (or along-side) the building. I am curious as well why they have chosen this type. hopefully someone who knows more can shed some light.

    The cladding looks great. I think this project is a bit underrated in my opinion. Also, I don't think anyone has responded to the pronunciation, but I'm sure it's pronounce like Jimmy Fallon and not fallin' like falling down. If it is "Fallin", agreed that's bad.
  19. PostRural
    These types of projects are just the best. My personal favorites. Take something historic; preserve it, restore it, do some adaptive reuse, then fill in the gaps with ultra modern towers. The contrast is so aggressive that it's somehow perfectly balanced. Fingers crossed this happens.

    This is awesome! hahaha! that is all.
  21. PostRural
    Very interesting! Wouldn't a 60 story commercial building be at minimum ~787' tall?
  22. PostRural
    Top of the spire at batman is ~617', this building is proposed to be ~750'. Could you be confusing this one with Amazon 3? If you're talking about Amazon 3 that makes sense.

    was the demolition complete yet? they were in process of demo when i drove by last week.

    looks phenomenal, I can't wait. Although, I don't think these buildings will ever be sun-lit from or produce shadows in this exact direction. The way I read it, the shadow on the morning of June 21st would be covering the southern half of the round about and probably grazing the northern edge of the Circle South site and it will never produce shadows further southwest than that. So Circle South shouldn't have to worry about being in the shadow of Ritz, I don't believe.

    Was it what you thought it was?
