    Hopefully they come back with the needed improvements.

    This project looks fantastic to me. I think Printers Alley is a great little spot, but the parking lot with the dumpster stinks and is an eyesore. Really love the archway, really love the density. Great to see something like this there.

    What are the chances that the renderings will make us change our minds?
  4. Darwin
    Right, as it is, it just makes the street even less walkable, whereas what it could do, is give us more places to walk.

    A great waste yes. Given the demand for housing here, I can't understand why they would stick to a 5 story with 420 units in SUCH a prime location. We have more new residents than that in just one week. This is the major plot of land that links downtown and midtown, which are both developing rapidly, and it's next to the gulch. There is so much opportunity here to create a dense mixed use urban neighbourhood, or as bnanincy says to have a great cultural venue. It may well make sense from the perspective of the developers, but it doesn't make sense for the city one bit. That stretch of broadway is an unpleasant and impractical place to walk, or to be, if it were transformed we could massively increase the amount of Nashville that actually feels like a dense city environment, which is limited right now to a few streets downtown and the gulch. Let's make more of Nashville feel like an actual place where life happens. It feels like there was a lack of vision here, it would probably take multiple independent developers working together to achieve what the land deserves.

    Wow, this is a disappointment, this could have been something really special for the city, in fact it really needed to be given the location.

    I think I'd heard that was the case, I just hope it will be a bit bigger than a convenience store.

    I hope they'll be able to get a tenant soon for the ground floor space, I would have imagined the location would be good for a restaurant. My hope is that either this place, or the graduate student housing that Vanderbilt are building across the street, will have some kind of mini grocery store. There's real potential to make the neighbourhood more liveable, and with the graduate students around, there'd be some demand throughout the year. In Europe, many supermarkets also have a chain of urban or metro stores that are smaller versions of their full scale stores, is there anything like that in the US?

    I love the speed they're putting this one up at. The construction cam lets you look at some impressive timelapses: https://www.one22one.com/gallery/

    17th & Grand, and behind it is the Panattoni office building.

    Thanks! I've been lurking for a few months, and thought I'd finally get involved.
