Yes... it is... and it won't be completely obscured, but from about two prominent angles it will be.

[CenterHill]

BMI is surrounded by a couple of acres of parking lots fronting the roundabout and Division. Would have made an ideal location for a Virgin hotel, don't you think?

on saturday I drove around a little bit to see downtown in daylight, Noticed they were putting vinyl siding on 1505 on the side that will face 1515, So I was wondering how close to each other will they be? will they be touching or will there be a gap big enough to walk through?

Hopefully it's just temporary.

Hopefully it's just temporary.

I don't think it'll be visible once the garage for 1515 is done, and it looks like they are doing brick near the street.

[SoundScan]

All-timber framing and open-web joists, high/low-pressure PVC plumbing, and vinyl siding. Just screams quality. Hopefully there's no smoking allowed nearby or else you won't find me within 100 feet of that tinder box (1505). Thankfully it looks like 1515 will be concrete and brick, so at least it should last longer than your typical slab-built tract home.

I dont think there will be much room at all based on where the footers look to be going. Almost right next to 1505, within inches.

Has anyone taken any pictures? Have not been around this area in a month or so. I rarely leave East Nashville except to work or go to Publix! If I cannot walk there, I generally do not go. I guess I will have to walk passed the Gulch sometime soon.

I took these two weeks ago, but it will at least give you a general sense for the state of the development:

The site seems much bigger now that's it's been cleared and leveled a bit. This building is going to change the area dramatically.

Crane setup happening this morning on Division.

[Vrtigo]

As seen from my office... Cute little stub of a crane wants to play with his big brothers down the street!

 

[Hey_Hey]

Heres a picture coming up Demonbreun of the crane assembly. I had been eating at Whiskey Kitchen and was able to watch them put a couple pieces of it together. Those guys that do that work are CRAZY!

And how about that 1505 building? It is not tall, but it is massive. That block will be intense urbanity, especially when the Virgin Hotel starts rising (not an official rendering).

Big difference over the original Lionstone Project..

If that's really what it's going to look like...then...wow.  I'm not even sure what to think.  That is one huge mass.  And yes...there will be a large number of people living in that one block.

Don't forge the Rhythm across the street.

[BnaBreaker]

Nice!  Love it.

A note on the cranes at the 1515 location. The crane for 1505 is supposed to come down next week on Friday and then the second crane for 1515 will go up shortly thereafter.

[CenterHill]

Noted bwithers' post in another thread today re the $39M 19-story finish permit for 1515.   

 

As regards the 1505 project next door, I have to say the exterior materials and finish on the Demonbreun side are exceeding my expectations.    I admit my expectations were pretty low based on the renderings, which suggested a fairly bland facade and a prominent parking entrance (the Dallas on Elliston is fitting that bill).     

[Hey_Hey]

I agree. When I saw it was stick frame I had concerns it was going to a cheap product overall.  However, it looks really nice and adds a great deal to the street.  I was also worried about the garage entrance off of Demonbreun.  While I still wish the entrance was off Music Circle East, the entrance off of Demonbreun seems less prominent than I had feared.

[titanhog]

1515 is going to be one prominent eye-catcher.  Sitting atop that hill, it's gonna look taller than 18-19 stories...especially sitting at the stop light beside Deja Vu looking west.

 

I'm also anxious to see how it looks approaching the roundabout from 16th.

[Paramount747]

I have not been by there in about a month or so. Should be well out of the ground by now.

Some ground floor concrete starting to rise.
