Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge

Wow, that's the highest quality rendering I think I've ever seen. Rather indistinguishable from a photograph.

As much as the new shiny towers in the Gulch make it a fun place, buildings like this are what will make the Gulch more fun. Not everything needs to be a 10-20 story building that is mixed use. There is still plenty of space for towers.

Totally agree with this statement.  I was really thinking 3-4 story building with a couple floors above the restaurant that would be apartments / live-work offices / etc.  Something along the lines of the building that Kayne Prime is in as an example.

Do we have any kind of timeline yet for any of the hotels being built on KVB?  Seems like there are multiple properties in various stages and one should be coming to fruition soon?

I would guess Northpoint then if you consider the Holiday Inn 4th/Peabody KVB then it would be next.

Noticed while visiting downtown tonight that the Trail West building at the corner of Broadway and 3rd is being demolished.

I thought there were going to build a building around it...then demolish it from the inside.

600 9th Ave getting purchased (close date in 2016, though). Site could turn into anything.

Permits have been pulled and construction started on 3 new constructions on 14th Ave N between Clay and Cass, one on Saint Louis Street, 2 on 16th Ave N.

It wouldn't be the first time that group didn't act according to plans.

[smeagolsfree]

I will bet that wall is pretty unstable. It does not surprise me at all.

[NashRugger]

and folks pissed and moaned about the Westin and Hyatt proposals that would've rehabbed the building. See what happens?

Thanks for reporting that.  At least we're finally getting past that point of (un)certainty. -==-

Any news on when we will see an official rendering for this 12 story flat iron hotel building slated for Sobro?

[Paramount747]

Where is this building being constructed? Where are they moving too, or are they moving temporarily and then moving back once the building is retrofitted.

This could be interesting to say the least, especially being near the new bridge and a view of Stix at night if this is the lot I am thinking of.

[Hey_Hey]

910 9th Ave getting purchased (close date in 2016, though). Site could turn into anything.

It's 600 9th Ave S.

Here's what once was the Trail West building

Here's what once was the Trail West building 

 

wtf?    admittedly, the build new exterior/demolish interior plan that was approved by MDHA and Historic Zoning made no sense, but this is just taking a wrecking ball to a building protected by the Broadway Historic District?    How does a demo permit get issued for this?

Holy cow. Although...

...I wouldn't be surprised if it just fell over.

It was an overnight demo, similar to Virgin's Music Row property.   I wouldn't be surprised if this development team knocked it down without a permit, as they did with their diner.       

[ariesjow]

Someone told me that the Trail West building could have been preserved using a steel support system similar to what was done with the Acme building. Is this true? If so, it would make me very sad.

 

[samsonh]

They had a permit. Emily Evans had a nice post on FB explaining how this was all legal and on the up and up.

[donNdonelson2]

They never planned to save the building! The plan was to build new inside the shell of the building and then remove the shell. The result would be the same either way. The only "historic" thing they planned to save was the rotating sign.

[MLBrumby]

Seems to me that the issue with the historic crowd is not that a building is historic or not, but rather if what will replace it will be "too tall".  Wish I could take Ms. Evans at her word, but it's well-known that Metro has an abysmal record when it comes to demolishing protected historic structures. And I am speaking as much to the "mistaken" and overnight demolitions as much as anything. I grew up in a city that has been horrible along those lines, but I think the last 5-10 years show that Atlanta has nothing on Nashville. 

[nashvillwill]

I'm hearing that there were no demo permits for this one. Are there any repercussions for taking an action like that? This is so infuriating
