The scrap yard land, at the top of this pic--did the owner decide to sell for development? I know that has been a crucial piece that developers have long drooled over to put something of good use there, as opposed to the current scrap yard use.

Yeah, completely agree! It will be so exciting to see buildings go up on those 2 previous huge car showroom properties. It will mesh downtown with midtown together well, and finally fill in a huge void between the two areas.

It's so true! So many areas in Nashville downtown, and close to downtown, have seen a night/day transformation in a few short years time. It's one of the best cities in the US right now, for that specific example. Areas that were once parking lots, or under-utilized with a couple of businesses in a low rise buildings, or very low density areas are being turned into mid and high rise districts with bustling street activity, new retail, new office, new residential and entirely brand new neighborhood creations. It happens on such a massive scale to only a couple of US cities every decade or so. I'd say Austin is also seeing the same scale of development, and they are a good 6-8 years ahead of Nashville.

I was thinking the exact same! This is a huge announcement by Oracle, and a signal to other developments (residential, office, etc) that Nashville is a financially sound investment, and has a really good future ahead of it. Announcements and moves like this with such a major brand or major tech player always stimulates other development.

Knoxville Construction and Updates
jjbradleyBrooklyn replied to timmay143's topic in Chattanooga and Knoxville
Yeah, I feel like that ship has mostly sailed--Knoxville already has a couple of modern highrises downtown, and the city is growing, and more will most likely eventually follow. By the way, your pictures of downtown Knoxville are a great reminder what an under-rated, nice city Knoxville is. -
I wish Amazon Tower 3 was 'under construction,' as depicted in this updated diagram. Maybe it will actually be built sooner than later? But I can't see it being built as "office-only," unless the market picks up dramatically soon. I hope that patch doesn't just become a park or a vacant concrete lot, to sit and sit for decades. Hoping it will be built by 2030, at least!

Does Clarksville have a decently dense, old historic downtown? I've seen few pictures of it. If anyone has recent shots, that'd be nice to check out. I could see Murfreesboro "popping" with a few more dense midrises--and possibly highrises, in the next couple of decades. If its population growth continues similar to how it has been growing, Murfreesboro should be in the 250,000 city population range by 2040, and maybe more. Same really with Clarksville, as both cities are growing pretty fast. -
Yeah, they really messed that up. A small time development team that was trying to move to the next level with such a grand development like this, but couldn't make it happen. I would think Nashville is highly desirable for the Ritz. They can make very good money in Nashville, and I think it will continue to be attractive to luxury hotels, since more and more folks with money keep pouring into the city.

Knoxville Construction and Updates
jjbradleyBrooklyn replied to timmay143's topic in Chattanooga and Knoxville
This is so great, and long overdue for Knoxville downtown. I'd like to see this go up, and add a couple more in the 15-25 story range downtown, by 2030. -

Giarratana is on fire! Love to see the infill in this specific area. This one will be another nice addition to the skyline. And a nice design aesthetic, too.- 134 replies

Folks have a tendency to let pessimism rule their thought process. It's easy to go down that road in today's day and age. But so glad this one is gonna truly get built!

Awesome news! So excited to hear this, especially in an environment that is shaky with commercial and residential grand scale developments, in general. Speaks to the strength of the Nashville market, and the successful track record of Giarratana.

My personal opinion is this district development should include several lower rise buildings, in the range of just a couple of stories, up to 5 or 6 stories. With possibly a couple of mid-rises in the range of 8-12 stories or so, maximum. Density would be key--with each building adjacent to the other. Include parking in a garage and eliminate any large surface parking lots. Walkability, vibrancy and the ability to draw in shops, restaurants, bars, residents, offices and a diverse set of uses will be what makes this district a success. I think over-shooting to try to develop towers in the 20-40 story range is not a realistic development for Memphis, in this district. Go lower rise to mid rise, density-focused, and the cost will be lower, and the success factor will increase, I think.

Once Pinnacle's major construction has almost finished up, I hope the next building to rise is the residential tower between Pinnacle and the Grand Hyatt. That would seem like to most logical new tower to rise in the NY development, at least.
