I think they may get new office tenants but likely not the Class A tenants they are losing. The proximity to Broadway and all the tourists aren't helping sell the space. When you need a rent a cop to allow the tenants cars to exit the building, every afternoon, it's not a selling point.

Additionally, the floor plate is not good for residential. I have heard that multiple architects have taken looks at the floor plate and there is just no efficient way to use the space for residential.

Nashville office developers learned a valuable (and expensive) lesson from that... Asurion, Amazon, 5th&Broad, Nashville Yards all have dedicated signaling for exits.

Broadwest could actually end up with some issues with their major exit off Hayes St. when that area builds up.

I've wondered why more record and publishing companies haven't seen fit to take offices in that building. From what I hear those folks work odd hours and are alays scouting talent, which is right outside the doors.  I'm sure I have an oversimplified "understanding" of that business. I did a quick search of current tenants came up with no record companies.

This is the most logical, but still not all that feasible. By cutting back the curtain wall, the yellow areas become large thermal bridges that would allow heat to flow through the concrete. Encapsulating that becomes a challenge. The bathrooms could be reclaimed - because there is not need for gang bathrooms like that in a residential setup, but that is non-rentable space. You could potentially program it into amenity style space if possible. One option that could help with some of the typical plumbing costs could be to go micro units and have community kitchens while the units themselves only have bathrooms. There is a lot of penetrations still, but having community kitchen and laundry could potentially condense the amount of venting that needs to be done. Talk about vertical living!

Maybe it's time for a separate place to talk about this. No offense, I enjoy all the ideas for reworking the building.

Well, Broadwest certainly hired better interior designers than the one at Four seasons. Y'all recall those crapy cheap interiors?

Would love to see this become a trend...

There was an article somewhere (Nashville Business Journal?) around 2001 or 2002 about the decline of commercial space downtown as businesses preferred Brentwood and Franklin.  There was a projection along the lines of 'by 2020, commercial space in Brentwood and Franklin will surpass downtown and midtown.'  Boy, were they wrong!

[CenterHill]

Brentwood Capital’s offices used to be in the Roundabout Plaza building in midtown before they moved to Cool Springs a few years ago.   Good to see them coming back
