I thought they were ripping up some parking lot this morning, but it turns out they are salvaging some good dirt (tree permits were discussed earlier/above).   What's interesting, is the same guy that is running the track hoe, is also operating the dump truck.

I've been told this is contaminated soil removal, and that Metro used to have a big maintenance garage on this site back a few years ago.

Well, for sure those “Trolley Barns” were actually garages that were used for maintenance of the city bus fleet. Soil contamination of that area isn’t surprising. Back in those days they probably just dumped used motor oil in a pit somewhere out there.

They applied for the blasting permit for this project two days ago, so I imagine we will see some real movement here soon.

This is one project in Nashville right now that I'm looking forward to seeing completed. It will have such a dramatic, sweeping view impact on that portion of the riverbank, and such a big impact on that end of the skyline. Granted, it's not super tall at around 350 feet, but I love the design and aesthetic of the building.

It will fit in so nicely there, and continue the fast-development of Rolling Mill Hill/Sobro/Pie Town areas.

Digging up asphalt; more core drilling.

Will this one have a below grade garage?

Looks like lots more movement and digging today. Possible like blast blankets? I could be wrong

Interesting!  First of all…they make Peabody Union look massive compared to everything else…when it’s really not that tall compared to many of the nearby structures.

Like they’ve listed Tishman Speyer.  Also…what is this “Bode” next to TS?  Also…is Park Place really that short compared to Centrum?  Lastly…look at tiny City View. 

After looking at the website, if you want to live downtown, this may be one of the most perfect places to live, as far as views of DT and getting to the interstate.  Of course, you’ll have to deal with the noise from the amphitheater.

Well, that is new and the first I have heard of Rob Lowes project there. He is planning a project for a something long term. Time to reach out to him. Last time WW reached out to him was a little before the end of the year when there were markings on the property corners, and he said there was nothing planned yet. I guess he sort of didn't know these things get released in the mix when you mention stuff to Metro!

 

I guess you will also notice the CB Ragland lot too. Michael Hayes has been planning something there for some time that we have known about and this is the first massing we have seen , bet we have known about it for some time as well.
