    This shows ground level retail. I wonder if that will transpire? We need more mixed use in the hood.

    I'm still salty about Woodland wine. I approached metro and the state about opening that same concept in the same building 3 years prior when I lived in east Nashville. Was shot down. We need a wine and liquor place that is nice and you don't feel like you may be part of a robbery situation.

    If that is their issue they have bigger problems. Custom historical windows are expensive AF but in the scheme of things shouldn't kill a project. Some builders go automatically to Marvin or pella windows but jeld wen has a custom division. Marvin quoted me nearly 5k a window but jeld wen was 1.5k.

    The land is worth a million bucks. No idea why it's just sitting. Maybe turn it into a paid parking lot for taco mamacita

    Personally I think the garage is a prime example of architectural mediocrity. Unless you put on a whole new facade, it's never going to look particularly attractive in my opinion.

    This whole project looks sub-par. Not quite as bad as what went on the lazarollis site, but close. I don't understand how quality is actually decreasing compared to the luxus and gramercy.

    I dunno. 312 It's like 45 minutes for a thin crust. Hasn't changed since the day they opened. Emmy squared is good but Detroit pizza is a bit on the heavy side. City house has excellent quality pizza but very limited on choices.

    This is incredible news. Living in Germantown we are in a good pizza desert. Desanos is excellent.

    Correct, you are 100% right that you should have no say. Get investors and get control. All the developers have investors, it's no different than if you have investors.

    This is 100% correct. It's like buying a Yukon Denali when you make $75k a year. Can you do it? Yes. Is it really dumb. Yes.

    This is a development discussion forum, not a social equity forum. Bottom line is that they are not going anywhere, no matter what is highest and best use for their land. Can we please focus on development?

    Quite honestly I would demolish it for free. It's just sad and depressing.

    I guess the retail component at the corner of 3rd and Monroe got nixed? I am so looking forward to this project being finished. This and the three corners of 2nd and Monroe are going to make a HUGE difference to the immediate locale.

    The property not included looks like it is part of metro public infrastructure. I would say at some point metro will make Toll Brothers responsible for a landscape plan as a condition of approving the SP.

    I'm very interested to see how this progresses. We need another casual option in the area that is not fast-casual.

    Rendering for the proposed 10 storey multifamily project at the site of the demolished O'Reillys at corner of Rosa parks and Monroe. Seems a little tall, but we are half mile from CBD. Big upgrade regardless.

    One of the units in the rear of the site collapsed. My wife was walking the dog when it happened. Was a little concerning to see the framers scrabbling out as it came down. No one seemed to be hurt.
  18. Brit_in_Gtown
    Anyone have more info on this? Nashville post is being a tease. Could be significant change to height in the area. I think currently the Ludlow is the tallest structure in the area? Thoughts? Does anyone have access to renderings from behind the post paywall? https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/three-building-project-eyed-for-city-s-north-side/article_4bfc6808-3a8d-11ec-b5ea-af01599766da.html

    You hit the nail on the head - the council person went AWOL.

    Glencliff area. I wanted rear load in the SP. Specifically no STRP. It got to a point where the community including people who literally lived 12 miles away were getting involved, So I said F it. After I decided that, they were like, oh can you do your original concept plan. I said. Nope. That ship has sailed.
  21. Brit_in_Gtown
    I've been in this exact same scenario. I wanted to do an SP for a more attractive concept and wanted 3 more units to offset the cost of alley loaded garages. The community shot it down because they thought they were stopping development despite me making it clear that I would just go with regular zoning and an inferior concept. So we went with a boring cul de sac with a bulb at the end. Dumb. Nothing I'm going to be proud of creating.

    Thank you, I have been a long time lurker. I am a developer in the 'burbs and love learning about new projects in my neighborhood (Germantown).

    I own a couple of those types of drills. The drilling on site right now is almost certainly for blasting. The pattern spacing I saw looks to be for mass excavation, maybe for below grade parking or stormwater retention.
