So exciting to see steel rising up finally, from this one.

It will make a massive impact on that area, and the skyline, in that part of downtown. 

Does anyone know if the residential tower between the Grand Hyatt and Pinnacle, will wait to start once this tower is further along in development?

As well as waiting on the 2 residential towers being developed directly behind it being further along? That's kind of what I'm thinking.

Stripping away all the legitimate reasons why, it's so disappointing to me to see that second Amazon tower completed instead of the 1001 Church one.

So 1001 is only building the garage?

As I said, "stripping away all the legitimate reasons why."  In other words, I get why it happened AND was still sharing my disappointment.  Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I get what you mean. It's a great tower for infill, and a decent height. But for me personally, the design is super 1970s inspired. And not necessarily in a good way or bad way--it looks like a dated building to me. 

At least 1001 Church would be (or would have been??) 600 feet high, if the design were 1970s as well.

I think they are pausing construction after the base and garage are built--in order to gauge the economy and see how remote working pans out and if there's a business need for the skyscraper. 

But we will see.

I know it’s not probable, but I’m holding on to the thought that 1001 has gone back to the drawing board. Why you all ask, well to get redesigned into a mixed use tower of 750 feet to compete with Tony G’s 1010 at the Y!! Let’s dream …

[Rick Dalton]

Amazon has a corporate hiring freeze across their entire company in place indefinitely. Not just Nashville, the whole company.

It would be really exciting to see the tower reconfigured to incorporate mostly residential, some hotel and a smaller office component to the tower. 

Say, 60% residential, 25% hotel and 15% office. I think that would be a winning combination for the skyscraper, at the 600 foot as-is height. If they went taller, heck yeah! But my thoughts are they go lower height, rather than higher, if a redesign happens. :/

My thoughts exactly. I’d hope they’d stay at 600 ft though

AEG Office/Entertainment (12 stories, move theaters, 4,000 capacity event center, etc.) update.

Looking west from 9th Ave. North, 1/8 block south of Church St:

[markhollin]

It is official: 

Amazon.com Inc. is capping its corporate headcount for the next few months, the latest sign the tech giant is battening down the hatches amid economic headwinds.

In an internal memo viewed by NBJ sister paper the Puget Sound Business Journal, Amazon's human resources chief Beth Galetti told employees Thursday the company was putting a "pause on new incremental hires in our corporate workforce."

The memo said the decision was made due to both the uncertain economy and in light Amazon's hiring spree during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In certain areas of the company, Amazon said it will continue to backfill positions and hire incrementally.

But those areas are narrowing. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that Amazon was freezing headcount for its advertising business, and earlier this month Amazon told employees it was freezing all hiring for retail tech roles.

Business Insider also reported on Wednesday that the company was pausing hiring for multiple organizations within its more profitable cloud division, Amazon Web Services.

Amazon has hired about 3,000 office and tech workers in Nashville, making the company downtown's largest private employer, according to Business Journal research. That headcount puts Amazon 60% of the way to its pledge of 5,000 jobs at its Nashville Yards office.

Well this is what happens when the economy goes down the drain. If only all of these projects could have gotten started prior to the year 2021 when everything went downhill.

[Rick Dalton]

It's a cycle. It'll be back in 2 years when a new equilibrium is found.

Yeah, when something is replaced and either something new is brought in or something is restored.
