That's super impressive! What I love about Nashville development in general, is that skyscrapers and highrises going up are going up pretty densely, and in areas where there was mostly very low rise buildings. Now these massive developments are going up and creating vibrant city districts of skyscraper density. Nashville is truly changing its entire city size and status--in just a few years' time--that's what is so remarkable. In 1990, Nashville was a state capital city with a strong country music heritage, a mid sized city that was in the city tier alongside of Birmingham, Memphis, Louisville, Richmond, and Providence, etc. Then by 2010, Nashville had landed 2 pro teams and elevated its "famous city" status, to even more who didn't know of it. The development for skyscrapers downtown though had not yet taken off, but a few developments over 20 years or so had changed the skyline some. Starting in 2015, downtown development plans skyrocketed, and the groundwork was laid for the "it city boom" of what we see today. Now in the latter part of 2021, and almost into 2022, Nashville has catapulted its tier city status for skyscrapers and density development to be alongside Charlotte, Austin, Cincinnati, and Baltimore, and looking to be alongside the ranks of Denver, Minneapolis, and San Diego, in another 5 years time or so. Just a phenomenal time to be alive and watch this city take 100 years of development and condense it into 10 - 15 or so.

That's good to know. Does anyone know how many residential towers are going up in Nashville Yards? It looks, from the illustrated images, that there will be 5 or 6 towers, but mostly mid-rise in terms of height/stories. Maybe like 8-10 stories to roughly 20 or so... It is encouraging to see the progress though for the 2nd Amazon tower going up, as well as the Pinnacle Bank Tower, starting construction. I wonder if the residential piece will be the final one they start with? You'd think with so many residential buildings going up there, they would have already started on at least 1. But maybe Covid is the reason.

Wow, insane....a long time. I have to think the Nashville Yards project is having terrific construction momentum, and is so high profile and moving forward relatively briskly, that I'd be shocked if it did not built up completely, pretty fast. Unless there is an economic crisis of some sort over the next 1-2 years, I'd estimate every building will be finished in Nashville Yards by 2024, roughly.

Did not know that until you pointed it out--thanks for that. Fascinating. Well good thing something finally was built! Yes--hoping construction starts in the next year. I did see that from another poster, but was unaware of it until I heard about it today. Unbelieveable--I guess it really does come down to timing, finances and some good luck with large developments, in general.

Slowly but surely making progress. I'll be glad to see once they start having steel go up. It always makes me nervous seeing a huge deep hole cut out for a development site, and then to see that site sit just like that for months. I lived in Stamford, CT for 6 years, and downtown had a development site right in the heart of downtown called "the hole" because it was initially dug out about 50 feet deep or so, for a tower back in the 90s. They discovered tidal water when they dug, so apparently it stalled and they backed out. Leaving the "hole" to sit like that for 15-20 years. Finally, in 2014/15 (roughly), they built a nice 15 story residential building there. I suppose technology, developers, timing and money finally aligned to make it happen. Anyway, that's a dramatic worst case situation, and I don't think for a moment Nashville Yards will be anything like that. But just sayin it would be amazing to see steel going up sooner--rather than a long time later.

Thank you! I've been a long time visitor, but never created a profile until now. The content here seems best overall for news with developments for cities. Love reading it and getting the updates. Good stuff.

That's a nice looking office tower. My only request is I wish it were about 100 feet taller haha...otherwise, it is adding density nicely where it is needed right there near the Gulch entrance and the interstate/crossing to midtown.

Good to know! OK, thanks. Sounds like early 2022 is a promising timeframe for when we'll see shovels in the ground for phase I.

Oh gotcha--ok, that's movement anyway, in the right direction. I had hoped this one would've gotten started with construction already, but I suppose COVID delayed it. I hope they get it going ASAP. Would hate to see this game-changing development fizzle out for economic or other reasons.

Has the Memphis Walk construction started? This is such a game-changing development to blend downtown with the Edge District. Excited to see this built.
