I'm torn on the windows.  Without seeing it up close, it’s hard to tell if it’s glass bricks or something else.  If it’s glass bricks…yes, keep them.  However….it does kinda give a “jail” appearance.  Would love to see what this building would look like with updated windows.

I love that old Owens retro glass. I have always loved that kind of retro look. As a kid I had a little construction set with side panels that sort of mimicked hat glass and I also came from an industrial city that had a lot of this glass.

 

I could not find a lot on it, but it is still in high demand for folks doing retro remodels and goes for around $20 a block.

A prime piece of Music Row real estate at 21 Music Square West (17th Ave. South) has sold for $5.2 million.  It includes a 2 story office structure that was built in the last few decades. and the surface lot behind it.  The new owner is an LLC associated with Don Thorpe who had been president of Prinova Group out of Chicago. The seller was Doc McGhee, who has managed many big name rock groups.  No word on what plans are for the site.

I used glass bricks on a wall in a home I refurbished on Music Row.  Pretty awesome.

Why would they knock it all down, yet try to save a couple of walls?

Oh man. I spent a lot of time at that place.

RIP Rebar

Some kind of permitting / zoning shortcut I'm sure.

Ding, ding, ding. Many times if you leave an existing wall it is still considered an addition/renovation project rather than a new build. There are logisitcs/behind the scenes reasons for this that I have seen it pretty multiple times.

I remember when they kept the front of Glocker (now Haslam) Business building (in Knoxville). You can see the gigantic new backend on it. With the old front still there. Not sure if it's the same thing but I always wondered why.

Got this in the mail today. Trying to “sneak” a music venue in. Then the back has a Nashville post article on it, that’s live on the internet. Not very sneaky…
 

“LiveNation is trying to sneak a new 4500-seat music arena
in Wedgwood-Houston. Our community cannot support the
noise, traffic and sheer volume of people. Attend the hearing
or send email to planning.commissioners @nashville.gov”

[PaulChinetti]

Just sent to [email protected]

“Hello Planning Commission,

I live off of Chestnut Street in Chestnut Hill where I have lived since 2014. I am less than a mile from where this proposed venue would be located at 446 Chestnut Street. I am writing in to let the commission know that I am 100% in favor of this venue being built. AJ Capital Partners has revitalized a number of buildings in the neighborhood and have been excellent partners with the community the entire time. 

Please approve this future music venue development. It would be a valuable addition to the neighborhood and to Nashville. 

Thank you,
Paul Chinetti
Chestnut Hill resident”

Well, here is the kicker, A little bird told me that Colby is against the project with the Brewery because it has too much parking. So, what gives with him.

Hmm the info I see doesn’t say how much parking. Is it egregious or something?
