    Ah yes, the historic "South Bank" neighborhood

    Yeah, no more hotels, especially not downtown right next to the convention center and tourist district!! Would way rather our visitors have to stay in Airbnbs in our neighborhoods. (this is sarcasm)

    This sounds more like a Right-of-Way allocation issue, where we need to allocate more space from cars and give it to pedestrians and vendors. This will just push complaints out to different areas.

    Mural? Bike-lanes? Permitting for ground-floor to be commercial for live-work units?

    Digging the balcony depth here!

    Any recent news on next phase? Are they permitted for the next tower or two yet?

    Contrarian view: I like this building. It's not trying to be anything crazy, it's going to add significant height in an area that needs it, and should blend into a busy SoBro/Pietown skyline in a decade or so. Yes it's overparked. The glass canopy is cool though.

    Love to see industrial land close to the city glowing up to dense residential. Hoping the city's got some long-term vision here for mixed uses and multiple transportation modes though, because throwing up a bunch of townhomes doesn't guarantee a complete neighborhood. Shoutout to the new 71 Trinity bus route (going to go from North Nashville, out to Buena Vista Pike, down the length of Trinity to Gallatin Pike), but also gonna need some sidewalk upgrades from this:

    Pretty incredible that the arena in our midsized metro sells tickets in the stratosphere of the DFW metroplex, ranking ahead of arenas in top 10 metro areas like Chicago, DC, Philadelphia, Houston, and Atlanta.

    Agreed, I think double-tracking is the bare minimum CSX would require. Quick googling suggests widening a railroad bed and double-tracking is cheaper per-mile than adding another lane of interstate.

    Knew immediately that first picture was Zeitlin before even reading it. Distinctive style, those guys.

    Amtrak routes almost always run on existing freight railway routes (outside of the northeast corridor); they're required to share with Amtrak. The two studied routes (Atlanta to Nashville and Memphis to Nashville) would run most of their routes along CSX rails.

    Murfreesboro to Bellevue via the Gulch, run hourly 5am-10pm, with every half hour during rush hours. (spacing out stops every 5-10 miles, with Metro upzoning the area around each stop to look like Belle Meade Plaza or Green Hills. When this unlocks massive traffic improvement in Rutherford County, Williamson & Sumner Counties will jump on board to fund a Spring Hill-to-Gallatin 2nd line.

    Do the more recent permits here indicate that this one is more likely to be Flank's next project vs. the Edition hotel?

    Maaaan if we're not building residential or hotel above a future TPAC, we're wasting valuable space that could serve either to generate tax revenue (for that costly East Bank infrastructure) or badly needed affordable housing.

    Plenty of room for a stadium & some neighborhood over there on the east bank. Questions for another East Bank stadium are all about the $$$: $2B in land value? $1B in remediation? $2B for stadium? Can't imagine the city and state put up more than $0.5B total, compared to the $1.25B of government aid for the Titans. 0

    I think this is as much about city responsibility for building streetscapes that people (and developers) will want to interact with. Dickerson's 5-lane stroad ain't that today, and probably won't turn into that in the next 5 years. If we want developers to build street-facing buildings like you've described, we gotta legalize that density on minor roads (think Wedgewood Houston) or make the major roads a lot more pleasant (not sure if Nashville is doing this anywhere yet...?).

    Off topic but rent metrics in the inflation calculation are absolutely going to continue to come down over the next 12 months.
  20. andywildman
    That has to be a function of Franklin / Williamson County growth boundaries, right? That close to downtown Franklin, half a mile from Westhaven, most developers would be density-maxing!
  21. andywildman
    What did the East Bank look like in the 80s and early 90s?

    Paging captain doom and gloom to tell us how this project's forward progress is a bad thing

    Fun little lookback from over 15 years ago:

    Pictures like this keep me wondering how long it will take for the state to let Nashville start acting like a big city on state-owned roads. I see 7 lanes for cars and maybe 2 sidewalks of maybe 6 ft each. Insanity to continue only dedicating public ROW to cars and not dedicate space for higher-capacity modes of transportation. I don't care if it's wide sidewalks or if it's transit lanes, but literally anything would be a start. https://nacto.org/publication/transit-street-design-guide/introduction/why/designing-move-people/
