Edit: Nevermind, just scrolled on the last page and seen that a parking garage was mentioned. What are the details on it? 

Six levels, retail on the ground floor fronting 17th and Division. I imagine it will go vertical as soon as the main building tops out. It's actually a pretty good system: you get the occupied floors built first, then work on the interior while you move the forming crews to the garage. Saves a ton of time since forming parking ramps takes forever. Plus, you have room for expansion if you decide to build a second tower. Of course, the residents on the first few floors might not have a great view.

I think the upper floor is two levels, but they count it as one. Seems I recall that from the beginning of the discussion. The building may appear to be 26 or 27.

It is already making an impact on the Midtown skyline! Only a half-block away, it is towering over West End. And you can see it from I-40. It is more of a skyline changer than I thought it would be.

With this building and Palmers Plaza on western Broadway, it looks like the city has two separate downtowns.

Skyhouse is set to top-out this Friday.  From Nashville Post:  

"The development team of Novare Group, Simpson Housing and Batson-Cook Development Company will have a ceremonially top-out for Midtown high-rise SkyHouse Nashville on Friday, May 6. Ground broke on the 25-story mixed-use building in July 2015. Construction of the building is expected to be completed by year’s end.

"At about 290 feet tall, SkyHouse is the tallest building in Midtown. Palmer Plaza (about 270) is second tallest. SkyHouse Nashville will offer 352 apartment units and more than 10,000 square feet of retail space along Broadway, 17th Avenue and Division Street. It will also boast one of the highest amenity decks in the city, along with a club house, fitness facilities, swimming pool and outdoor kitchen — all with 360-degree views of urban Nashville."
 

Here are a few shots from five days ago as they were nearing the summit:

The garage/retail facade is going up on the Division side.    As parking structures go, I'd say it's on the attractive end of the scale.

I noticed that yesterday when I was up there.  Love the brick.

[bigeasy]

Great news! I really look forward to seeing this next time I head downtown. I might have to do that this weekend since the weather is going to be good. 

 

On that last pic, what is that hideous structure beside it?? Wow are those colors revolting.

Ha.   That's the recently completed Cadence apartments.   Yeah, hideous is a good word for it.     Unfortunate choices of design, materials and color.

Yeah...that's the "Urban Log Cabin" look.  Yuck.

Perfect for the urban hillbilly.

This building has had a much greater than expected impact on the midtown skyline, as well as extending / connecting the midtown skyline to downtown. 

[titanhog]

Funny how just adding a little something to the top of a building can make it look different than all of the "boxes" out there.  Nashville builders...take note.

[MLBrumby]

Guarantee you that John Eakin isn't noticing. 

[donNdonelson2]

The apartment tower is attractive...the parking structure, not so much!

[memphian]

I'd like to see one of these on the East Bank, near where the pedestrian bridge spills out. Next door I'd like to see a Marriott (26 floors). But seriously this "design in a box" stuff works and there's room for another one or two in Nashville.

I don't agree.  It's not often you get brick on a parking structure, not to mention there's going to be retail on the ground floor.

[donNdonelson2]

I will admit I've not been by there is see it in person, and the inclusion of retail is certainly a great asset. In the construction webcam it looks pretty awful. Your input gives me hope that I will have a change of heart.

Agreed. Tastefully designed red brick parking garages are the least undesirable standalone parking structures, in my book. Slightly off topic but we were in Downtown Franklin today, and 4th Avenue Parking Garage should be the benchmark for all public parking structures in Nashville. Damn good looking. You can hardly distinguish it from other buildings unless you're right in front of it.

My wife and father in law's (who started the company) company TMP (Thomas Miller & Partners) designed that parking garage. I agree, they did a wonderful job and have gotten other garages based on how that one.

I agree that as parking structures go, this one is fairly attractive.  I just hate that it is taking up an entirely different lot and isn't even connected to the tower itself, but that isn't the fault of the people that designed the parking garage.
