Is this the thread for downtown/Broadway?

5th & Broadway project, closest to the 5th/bway corner, they’re demo’ing brand new cement and rebar structure. It’s either a major design change or a big screw up. Anyone know anything about this? 

 

There is is a separate thread for Fifth + Broadway where this has been the subject of much discussion and speculation.

William Williams of The Nashville Post Magazine put together this nice feature on all of the development along the eastern side of Germantown, hugging the Cumberland River. I was honored to be interviewed for the piece, along with leading development voices in the area.

Alliance Bernstein will lease out two more floors of One Nashville Place, giving them a total of 51,000 sq. ft, for their temporary digs before moving into the 5th & Broadway office tower in 2020.  The relocation from NYC is moving faster than anticipated.  They had hoped to have 300 Nashville-based employees by mid2020, but they are already at 280 (two thirds are new hires).

It seems odd that millions are being invested in an area that smells like poo 2/3 of the time and snuff factory the other 1/3. <shrug>

I do like the window treatment on both of the sides. What would an architect call that.. a "weave" pattern? Not exactly honeycomb is it?

I was afraid of that 6 years ago when I moved into the neighborhood too. While you are correct, it sometimes smells bad here, it's really only about once every 2-3 weeks that I smell the water treatment plant and I'm out walking in the neighborhood every day.  I don't enjoy the smell but it's not like it covers the neighborhood,  just an unpleasant whiff every now and then!  I never smell the snuff factory unless I'm over on 10th or Harrison right next to it. Doesn't seem odd to me at all that hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested here. It's the best neighborhood in Nashville as far as I am concerned.  The Neuhoff plan announced in the NBJ is pretty amazing.

My experience has  been different from yours. I eat at the Farmers Market regularly and every time I'm there I smell poo or snuff. <shrug>

Will those flowers be removed and replanted in another location?  Or will the development pay to have an additional 200 flowers planted in other locations of the project?  jk

Driving by these yesterday around 7:00 PM on I-40 W, I was suddenly aware of how they stand in the way of seeing the skyline.  My hope is that they are soon surrounded by slightly taller, better looking buildings.
