I stayed at a Hilton Conrad hotel in Hong Kong once with my dad and it was of amazing quality. Nashville’s luxury hotels collection really is beginning to blossom: Westin, Omni, JW Marriott, The Hermitage, Thompson, The Joseph Luxury collection, W Hotel, Grand Hyatt, Four seasons and now Conrad. Wouldn’t even be surprised to see more come online due to all the projects with hotel components planned. There finally a positive comment from me about Nashville.

Westin Hotels are almost always never classified as luxury properties.  They are generally nice, but definitely not true luxury hotels. The Nashville Westin is a newish convention-focused property, but not a luxury hotel.

Wonder why Ritz Carlton hasn’t given us a look yet?

They have before, pre-Recession. If I recall correctly, the current Hilton Downtown was looked at originally for the Ritz flag.

You really need to scroll past the pinned threads more often.

Third tower crane is up. 

[MLBrumby]

Now, could someone volunteer to get a shot of the skyline on the Fern Street overpass of I-65/24 north of downtown? With these cranes up, I'd like to get an idea how much (or little) of an impact they'll make on the skyline from there.

and leave the Orbison building alone as long as possible.

In stone above the front door it reads "E. M. Bond Fire Storage" or something like that.  Can anyone tell me where to find the history of this building?  Mr. Bond may be a distant relative!

Four tower cranes and a mobile crane both reported by NBJ and the Post.

They seem to be progressing pretty quickly on the office portion of this. Starting to inch closer to the street.

Is there anything planned in between Broadwest and Endeavor’s tower? 

[e-dub]

I plan on directing a bunch of anger towards Beaman for not moving his dealership. 

[musiczealot]

With so much development going on around the dealership lots, the lots don't have as much of a developmental black hole impact like they once did.  I always thought the lots would need to be sold to spark development in that area of the city, but the inverse has happened.  If Beamen is holding out to completely maximize the value of his property, he's done an incredible job! (I don't think that is why he hasn't sold).  When and if his lots get sold and developed, that will be the missing piece that completely connects Downtown/Midtown/Gulch for a massive stretching skyline.  We all can dream, right?

Nothing at this point in time. Interesting that as I was standing on the Church Street viaduct yesterday and I could see at one vantage 18 or 19 tower cranes and that was not counting the one going up at the Embassy and the base at the Amazon tower. Going to be some serious construction over the next 18 to 24 months in this area.
