From the Nashville Post:

Germantown townhome project progresses

The developer of a 22-unit townhome project eyed for Germantown has landed a permit to a raze a nondescript building on the site.

To be called 2^nd and Taylor, the project (pictured) will feature 22 three-story townhomes with rooftop decks, with the northwest corner of Taylor and Second to have five and the southwest corner of the intersection to offer 17. The main address is 1329 Second Ave. N.

Can't wait.

I will be spending much more time here than is probably reasonable for any one person.

What in the world is the point of that? 

Am I reading it wrong 10 "stackers" so you would get 10 more spaces or 20 more spaces?

 

I can't read the article, but the rendering above has 3 double stacks for a total of 24 cars...I don't know if that's accurate. The mechanical equipment required to lift a car is expensive, but at the same time, it's pretty unrealistic to expect to be able to park a large amount of cars using a stacking system like this, so the 10 or 20 figure you mentioned could be accurate (assuming the rendering isn't).

I had a caravan situation in my head, haha but the renderings don't make sense to me.

If I can recall. I remembered seeing the few surface lots that are in Manhattan for parking use this type of system where the cars are stacked on top of each other. It's on the ground though rather than on top of a building.

Good idea, but they must have been high as a kite to set their prices so high. We shall see if there is a market in that price range.

The night the Preds swept the Hawks, Uber wanted $40 for a quick trip from West End to Rose Pepper Cantina out East, 85 for an Uber Black. They were still busy.

Actually, since it was a United flight, I was using my free arm to fend off employees trying to beat me.  ; )

I think they actually pulled you off the flight and made you ride on the wing, like the gremlin on the Twilight Zone episode.

A California-based real estate investor has paid $2.5 million for the 0.29-acre former parking garage site at the southwest corner of Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Church Street to expand his holdings in that area.

After buying 801 Church St., David R. Wehrly of Redondo Beach, Calif. now owns the block on the south side of Church Street from Rosa L. Parks Boulevard to Ninth Avenue North. Earlier this year, he paid $6.85 million for the six-story, 49,000-square-foot office building at 814 Church St. that was the longtime home of Mastrapasqua Asset Management plus two vacant parcels with addresses 813 and 817 Church.

Your downtown hotels are all very nice. And every corner downtown it seems they are building more of them.What is the total number of rooms you have downtown? I know it is a lot more than Charlotte.
