Virgin Hotel on Music Row, 15 stories, 262 rooms, music club

[rookzie]

I like the idea of pockets parks, even more when there is a view to be had... but personally not at major intersections. That intersection already is a cluster of streets coming together, and thus crying out for a landmark to define the corner there much better.  I agree about the house and have wondered if the inside had been preserved.  That would not have disqualified it for rehabbing in my mind because I remember when Margaret Mitchell's "Dump" was a true dump before it was restored.  Of course, now that it is gone the greatest tragedy would be if nothing is built there.

Renderings are out on the Tennessean website. Kind of interesting.

Interesting. 12 floors with a skywalk on the 12th floor. I like it overall. Something new for Nashville.

Double flatiron! LOVE!

WOW...that is quite slick!! Love it!!

Looks to be somewhere between 150 and 170'. Eye catching for sure. Nothing like it in Nashville. Of course they guys that want the height will hate it.

[barakat]

I wonder how long those have been sitting on their website.

Awesome.   I like the rounded corners.   I'm curious as to the reason for separating it into two towers.    Is the taller one condos and the other the hotel?  

[Vrtigo]

Gorgeous.

 

There's no precedent for height on that edge of Midtown, so I can't really complain there, either.

[NashRugger]

Safe guess the hotel is the left and the right tower is the residential, exclusive all penthouses. Another good thing, minimum of two tower cranes.

[mirydi]

Ooh la la! I like it! Very nice indeed... Not as tall as I hoped, but I'll definitely take it. 

[Nashville Cliff]

Better than an empty field.

[nashmoney]

I like it!!!...Rounded, sky-walk, rooftop pool, addresses the street.

 

Whoever buys that top floor penthouse is going to have an AMAZING view and a HUGE balcony.

[The ATX]

That's a really nice looking project.  I like the rounded corner two tower design with a sky way connection.

[Bezoar]

This looks great!  

The folks commenting on Historic Nashville's Facebook page do not share UP's enthusiasm for the design, however.  

[titanhog]

Love the design.  Wish it was taller.  Still trying to figure out exactly how it sits on that property because the renders don't seem to give a good indication.

 

I'm guessing in the render below that the building is running along-side 17th?

Very cool looking! I like the detailed renderings as well. Someone should show these to the Westin folks lol.

This looks great!

And some of these same people piss and moan about the development beat Centennial Park where the structures have lost nearly all historic value. Again, these preservationist need to be more proactive and not reactive because in this market money talks and makes things move fast and by the time it his the media it is far too late.

[SoundScan]

Love it. Appropriate scale for the area. Really like the triangular plaza/al fresco dining area that sits right at the corner of Division and Music Square West.

[chris holman]

We need more designs,like this in the city I love it!! very modern !!

[Paramount747]

Better than an empty field.

not as nice as the homes that were there.....

[titanhog]

So...Chase Construction will be handling this and the Westin at the exact same time, right?  How does that work?  Just hire different sub-crews to go in and do the work while your company oversees them both?

[MidTenn1]

I'm guessing this is the view from the roundabout.
