505 CST - 545 feet - 45 Floors

[bhibbs]

so the actual Paramount building still has not gotten the full "green light" correct?...all work to this point is in preparation for the garage?

[Paramount747]

IMHO once the caissons  are start being poured in August or so, I think we can consider 505 under construction.

What's the building just to the south of where this garage will go?  Is it something that is primed to eventually be sold and leveled, making way for another building?

No sweat but it was too funny; I've done that too many times for the same reason.

 

I'd rather have "poured" casinos" over "caissons" ─ the "rolling-along", morbid type:

Hmmm...probably means they aren't looking to move.  Prime location, especially with that little parking lot along Commerce.

 I always liked that building anyway...a squushed six story Empire State Building.

No way CCoC is gonna move, and I don't expect them to do so anytime soon.  It's a handsome, well kept structure, a good mix with new, even though it's not "historically of special interest" as  Saint Mary's of 7 Sorrows, or of the nearby DT Presbyterian, it is nevertheless interesting, just as is McKendree UMC on the west side of the alley.  Even if they were to up and sell, as often as such transactions have been announced after the fact, no one so far has "let on" as much as a hint.

I don't necessarily want them to move...was just noticing the small building next to what will be Paramount with the small parking lot on the other side along Commerce and just realized how that piece of land would be perfect for another high rise.  But...I'm with you guys...I think it's nice to keep some of the old, handsome architecture among the high-rises.

Tony said at our meet in November, they are not willing in anyway to negotiate a move. Tony tried.

I actually like the contrast between the older, shorter churches and commercial buildings with the towering skyscrapers. It makes for an interesting cityscape IMO.

Completely agreed.

If Trump ever wanted to come to Nashville, now would be the ideal time.  He could pretty much get all the financing needed for a new tallest and advertise against this one as "living above everyone else".  He could build it in the middle Gulch or maybe even the Lifeway campus.

Hole still geting deeper by the day. Now I wonder how deep this is going, and how many months will it be before we see a crane pad or two. It could take them a year or two just to get the garage up to street level.

Any idea if there's a webcam looking at this thing anywhere?
