Stunning development, but I'm just skeptical of that much office space coming on given the overall vacancy rate. 

What's the overall vacancy rate?

Yikes! It looks like I'm under siege. I beta explain.

I'm just stating the consensus of this forum. We on this forum hate bauxeses and we hates brand new modern glaus buildings. We just do. This development just gave us more of the things we hates.

Nashville Yards seeing this area transformed before our eyes is remarkable.!

I remember the difference between how the Lifeway office brought the area.  I'm truly Thankful to see this developed. 

I don't agree. It's nothing but bauxeses. It's full of brand new glause buildings.

That area was much much better when it looked like the previous photo.

Sorry for the beta caterwauling. I'll stop now.

I actually really like the Westin aesthetic. Super mid century modern, and also modern looking.

Doesn't bother me at all. 

Now the one hotel that is super dated and basic looking to me in Nashville, is the Sheraton, with that white disc on top. Ugh, the 1950s wants it back lol

Oh, that I agree with. The question is WHEN those developments happen! I’m still trying to be optimistic and hold out for that day, but with each passing month and nothing seems to me moving hopes are dwindling. Thought we would have had more info and rendering of Tishman project and actual construction on the others by now. But nada, those clowns at City Lights are holding things up in the legal system just like a certain other more known individual whom we shall keep quiet about.

Who is the individual along with the City Lights folks that is using the legal system to hold up these projects? Is it Cooper? Is Freddie O'Connell filing a lawsuit to put a transit station at those sites?

Do you not understand what market rate housing or affordable is?

Affordable is income-based housing.

If this were Jackson MS it would be different than Nashville so there is no definitive answer. It is different for wherever you live based on different factors. Are they going to be doing Workforce housing, Section 8 housings, Low-income housing, Subsidized housing? 

This just says market -rate housing and affordable so the cost to the consumer will vary and there is no way to put a price on it because it is based on income.

 

 

Yeah I do. That's why I have the commonsense to question why they call it affordable. So apparently it's a slight of hand word salad con. The working class can't afford to live in the so called "affordable housing". The word salad is also for the developer's lackeys and the cheerleading simp hanger-ons to feel good about being body servants for the "developers".

[East Bank – I-24 to the Cumberland/I-24 Overpass up to Jefferson – 338 Acres, Nissan Stadium, "Imagine East Bank"]

As in the price for the consumer.

Interesting as to how they never put any numbers as to what affordable housing is.

Woaaaaaahh!!!

Now that's a game changer. A game changer.

That's the type of are key texture that should be all over downtown. 

Those buildings are very unique looking. They don't look anything like the old mundane generic buildings in other downtowns.

These buildings should definitely replace The Moore, Albion, Alcove, Prime, JW Marriott, Bridgestone, Pinnacle I, Pinnacle II, One22One, Four Seasons, SoBro, Hyatt Centric, 1Hotel, 505, Broadwest I.

Nashville should get rid of all of its non-generic looking buildings especially if they are glass.

Nashville should replace them with the original are key texture of northeast downtown. As in the Doubletree and Stahlmann buildings for example. Now those buildings get the juices flowing. Va va va voooom!

Exactly.

An extremely vague and non-detailed with no specifics reply. Are you saying "exactly" because you think those buildings are glass bauchxises? Or are you saying "exactly" because you're saying those buildings go against the glass bauchxises trend you say is happening?

If the former, then how did you come to the conclusion those buildings are glass bauchxises? What exactly are you looking at?

If the latter, then doesn't the fact those buildings were built contradict your supposition that there is a glass bauchxises trend. Wouldn't that be an erroneous supposition on your part?

This might be a hot take (and unlikely to happen), but I'd be very ok if the glass box trend took a break for a while. I'm excited to see what this will look like.

You mean like Cambria, Skyhouse, Modera McGavock, JW Marriott, Albion, both Pinnacles.

It looks like a WWII bombed out downtown or a 60s riot downtown. What are they going to do, let the buildings sit there for 3, 5, 7 years, a decade, or decades before allowing any work to be done.

What's kinda nuts to me is everyone seems to be so onboard with the IndyCar race, but that race (while is loads of fun) is literally closing roads and taking up space in the downtown core for multiple weeks every year.

Why is IndyCar applauded and the idea of Nascar denounced? Hell, the IndyCar race is going to even more disruption next year when it creates a closed loop around multiple residential towers! 

 

I'll tell you why.

It rhymes with 8.
