Please tell me you're joking. 

I kid, I kid.   While I was hoping to see a construction straggler near the fence so I can ask the question he/she probably wouldn't know... it certainly/probably/most likely won't be a a Build-A-Bear.  An American Girl store, however...

The sad thing about it is that I could actually see someone deciding the world's 3rd largest Build-A-Bear Workshop would be just fine at that corner.

People were outraged that a walgreens was proposed on Broadway. So yes I think people will be outraged that an apple store will ruin the honky tonk vibe. 

Also, many of those people probably have not been downtown in years and have no idea what it is like now.   Like was said. It's the  "new Nashville" public outrage that I'm talking about. 

 

I hope no one tells them that an H&M is going in the same development...

I've broken the bad news to people on Facebook in the past. There's one particular person who loves to talk about how Nashville is turning into New York City or Los Angeles. I always make sure to correct her when I see those posts.

Well, if it is truly going to be a technology store, then Apple, Samsung, or Amazon would be the only ones that could pull it off. I can't see Dell or Microsoft in the picture

If it is not a technology store, then it could be anything from Victoria's Secret to Louis Vuitton to Bloomingdale's; maybe even a new market for someone like Hudson Bay

And I say this with all seriousness, it could be Starbucks. I have seen a few of these in some high-end places that would blow your mind. And they out-perform all expectations

Continue work underconstruction.

I was going to say Starbucks too. I’m not a coffee person but I have seen some amazing looking Starbucks on some high profile corners. 

[Vrtigo]

I'm gonna laugh if that mystery corner just ends up being a big open plaza. I don't think that's actually a likely outcome, but it seems oddly consistent with our "propose tall, build small" adage we've all learned to accept as the norm.

Foster and Partners apparently do all of Apple’s premier flagship stores as of late. Here a gallery with several different Apple stores.

It truly is a tech brand, and no it's not going to be Dell or Microsoft.

Nor a Starbucks, though I do think that would be the perfect tourist trap for that corner.

I had a talk with one of the security guards at Fifth and Broad yesterday and he was coy, but did wink when I mentioned Apple.

Very cool info.   And welcome to the forum!

[fishsticks176]

First off, I love that this thread was halfway down the second page of this forum. Things have gotten insane.

 

Secondly, here’s a new ULI writeup about the project:

Fairly new Apple store in San Fran Union Square.    It sits on a similar corner lot as 5th & Broad.   Just sayin

Started last week on some other threads, but thought i would make my first post on this one today.   A bit of a needle eye view, but kind of a cool one.

Eddie V's Prime Seafood and Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams will open eateries at the 5th & Broadway development.  But these will not be part of the Food Hall.

Also, I believe these are some new renderings:

Got this while stopped in traffic in East Nashville today.  The skyline gap is really starting to fill finally.
