Nashville Yards, 15 acres/4 million sq. ft./ $1 billion, Phase I: Grand Hyatt Hotel (25 stories), Phase II: Amazon (26 & 22 stories), Phase III: AEG District (4 K theater, 34 & 35 story apts); Phase IV: Pinnacle Tower (35 stories), Amazon 3 (43)

That's a fun piece on NashvilleYards, with those cool sliders to show the before (current views) and with the new towers. Nice!

Amazon Two update:  up to 23rd floor (25th above grade).

Apologies for missing this if it was said, but based on the recently uploaded documents to the Development Tracker, Pinnacle Tower appears to be 36 floors tall and sitting approximately 500' above Upper 10th and 523' above Lower 10th. I got into the office and double checked the Amazon building and it is currently shown as approximately 104' taller than Pinnacle. So for Amazon 3 we are looking at 604' above Upper 10th and 627' above Lower 10th

OK, for the architects and engineers out there, I have a question as to how to count building height? This has all be a crap shoot as to how we count and there has been controversy even from the Council on Tall Buildings when they count antenna and then sometimes do not.

Where does the count start and end? The schematics from this packet are showing all counts from upper 10th. The Upper 10th to the roof top of the 35 is 419.3 and the 34 is 408.7. While other info. says the heights is 373 & 385. They are also giving the count to the highest top occupied floor and not the ceiling of that floor. This is all very confusing for the layperson. I know it is supposedly from the address of the building as well. We have no ideas of the addresses of the buildings, as one of them could be on lower 10th or Commerce.

It really is not as a big a deal to me as much as it is to the bean counters on this board and the folks that count this crap on Emporis and for the Wiki page.  I just get grief when I put one height on the map and the get yelled at saying the height is wrong.

For Fire Department purposes, lowest point of grade to top of building. If that surpasses 75' (which is higher than their hoses can reach), developers have to do more safety requirements.

For definition of high-rise, it's average grade plane to top of occupiable space. Anything above 85', developers have to do more safety requirements. 

For Nashville bragging rights, let's start at lowest grade to highest building element, because we have to stop at 750' anyways. Thanks FAA.

Can I get a judges ruling?

Definitely not understanding who gets to be judge here haha, but here is the backup for my comment. 

This is scaled based on the final dimensioned floor of Pinnacle being 19'6" tall and then re-dimensioned over the course of the building.

I wasn’t questioning your accuracy, Craig. I was patting myself on the back.

Another fun comparison of renderings from 2017 and last week:

I am sure there are some people that prefer the top image!

It’s the City Lights vision for Rutledge Hill. 

[rolly]

The hotel is the tallest building in the original depiction.

Now it's the shortest! (not counting the entertainment tower).     

Pretty much ever single tower got a massive upgrade.  Like, building 3 went from 10 stories to 43!

[downtownresident]

According to the documents from Development Tracker, Pinnacle tower is 504’ above Platform Way S, and Amazon 3 would be 600’ above Church Street:

In and around Nash Yards…a 500 footer, 600 footer and 700 footer…with several 400 footers.  NICE!!

It’s why I think they are legit putting in at least part of their HQ2 there, either that or they are significantly investing in healthcare.

They are absolutely getting into the Healthcare market. 

My friend at the big Healthcare campus downtown said Amazon has been actively recruiting and poaching her employees for some time.

In what ways are they getting into healthcare?  Just wondering where they’re headed with that.
