First girder is up.

Looking NW from intersection of 1st Ave. South and Demonbreun:

We are getting a lot of steel buildings now. Originally, only the L&C Tower and the Polk Building (TPAC) were steel to my knowledge. Reinforced concrete was always the material of choice, but I suppose economics support steel construction, more often. The quarries may be maxed out in making concrete and in Amazon's case steel goes up faster.

It looks like all of the columns in the background are reinforced concrete, so there may be a few steel columns if they want a slender column to make the lobby look more open.

Nearly everything in Capitol View was steel. I think it’s more of a thing with office buildings.

Steel spans farther than concrete, so steel is better for tenant layouts in office buildings and, I imagine in the case of the four seasons, for retail. 

Concrete is great for sound attenuation, which is extremely important for luxury hotels and condos / apartments.

And in typical Nashville tradition....

That would make a nice building in certain areas of town... Church Street (midtown), Broadway (any of the car lots), Jefferson Street (replace the Knights Inn),  5th Ave. S & Mulberry Street (Worlds Largest Adult Gift Shop ), 14th Ave. N. between Church and Hayes.  The list could go on and on....

Yay, going vertical. 40 stories to go.

Interesting push for the city, very little in terms of Four Seasons. Surprised that no imagery of the building was used

[chris holman]

There was but it don't show when i posted it

Who knows... I nearly laughed aloud at the randomness of a luxury residential website marketing themselves with a potato, of all things. Maybe it’s an imported potato with a history. You know, with certificates and all. “This paper guarantees your Italian potato is fresh, and 100% gold”

New rendering 

From the link i posted i guess it only works through Facebook

It will take three years to complete??  Is it just me, or does that seem like an unusually long amount of time?

That timeline has to include the interior buildout as well as the outer shell. 

[Bos2Nash]

When you think about the level finish and how Four Seasons have very specific ways things must be done, I would say this is a very respectable timeline

Fair enough!  I suppose you guys are right.

What going into the small parking lot next to the bridge

@chris holman

Nothing. That is the sliver of land that would not sell.
