10th & Jefferson (4 stories, 54 units) update.  I like all of the cream colored brick.

The only thing that is kind of a drop of cyanide in my tea in regards to all of these new murals around Nashville, is that a lot of them seem to face vacant lots or parking lots rather than the street, which would mean they'd be covered up if those lots are ever developed, and I don't want to root against development.  

With luck, those walls would still face an alley once the adjacent properties are developed. We all know alleys can always use a little visual interest.

That project seems to be turning out much better than I had expected.

I'm going to assume / guess that those lots belong to the M Street group, so if they're going forward with murals then they probably have no immediate plans for development. It appears they use those lots partly for valet parking for their restaurants, and partly for paid parking.

Demo and foundational work on the Hampton Inn expansion.

It appears the boutique hotel project for 120 2nd Ave. South is back on the agenda.  For the past 3 years it has started and stalled several times.  Originally it was going to be  Lark Hotel, then The Bridge (due to it's proximity a few hundred feet north of the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge).  Now it will be called Broadway Lofts.  The 6-story brick and limestone building will have at least 40 rooms, and feature several first-floor restaurants, and a rooftop bar.  I am quite fond of this project as it fits seamlessly into the historical district.

The story is currently behind the paywall:

Here are some renderings from 2015:

Nice! Is that the May property?  

Now if only someone with similar design sensibilities would acquire and put up a 6-8 story residential building at the corner of 2nd (Market) and Church on that parking lot. Dreaming!

Work on the 15-story Holiday Inn in Sobro, at the NW corner of Fourth Ave. and Peabody has now begun; 230 rooms and 190' tall.

I am trying to keep track of all the projects down there for WW.

The Hyatt House site is fenced off. Worker were on site at the Dual brand Hilton doing surveying and I spoke with the one of owners, and he indicated they should start next week.

I spoke to a DF Chase person and he said he thought they would start work in a month or so on the Margaritaville. Forgive me if I posted all of this already, but I'm getting forgetful in my old age.

Hopefully the Joseph will be starting as soon as they close on the land and that is getting real close from what I have heard.

Beach Company and Lifestyle Communities projects by September or so.

Demo is about to start at the location of the 3rd Ave Storage site, if it has not already. There was equipment on site the other day.

 

Hopefully Metro will go ahead and bite the bullet and let all of these projects start within 6 months or so, so that traffic is only messed up for about two years instead of five. that way they go in and repave all of the roads at the same time.

Two other projects down here would be the Stanza and the other hotel, cant remember the name , on the corner of 3rd and Peabody.

 

So all in all by years end in SoBro there could be the following either under construction or finishing up in SoBro alone.

Drury Plaza 3rd and KVB, demo to start next week. 21 stories

City Lights under construction, 7 stories 

Tapestry hotel 3rd and Peabody , est. 10 stories proposed to start by years end.

BWSC building 8 stories, now topped 3rd and Lea

Lifestyle communities 3rd and Ash 10 stories, to start 3rd quarter 

Stanza Hotel 4th and Ash/Lafayette 12 stories

Storage facility 3rd and Lindsley, 8 stories

The Joseph Hotel, 4th and KVB, mid 2017 start. 20 stories

Tri Branded Marriott 5th and KVB under construction 21 stories

Holiday Inn under construction 14 stories

Dual Branded Hilton due to start next week, 12 stories

Margaritaville Hotel , due to start mid 2017 12 stoires

The Olmsted under construction 6 stories

6th Ave South, the Beach company, 10 stories due to start by Sept.

Hyatt House 6 stories due to start by Sept.

JW Marriott 8th and Demonbreun 34 stories under construction

Cambria Suites hotel under construction 19 stories, topped out

Embassy Suites, Curio Hotel, 22 stories, demo started

I should have added these to the above list as they are in SoBro as well.

 

Bridgestone 30 stories under construction and topped

222 Second Ave 24 stories under construction and topped

Hampton Inn addition 6 stories Under construction

THREE WILD CARDS

Hensler Tower 20-25 stories Rolling Mill Hill

Eakin Office 5-7 stories Rolling Mill Hill

Mainland Tower 30 stories KVB roundabout

That is a whole lot of surface lots in one part of town being delivered from evil.

 

[MLBrumby]

Nice run-down.  Looks like you remembered the hotel name at 3rd/p'body... Tapestry. 

Also, I believe the Curio and Embassy Suites will be 19-20 and 28-30 stories respectively. And I believe the renderings show the JWM at 37 stories. It should be a considerably "head" taller than the Westin.  Then the latest on the Joseph showed a hotel of 22 stories. 

Have you heard any rumors about the Second Avenue Partners twin-towers starting? 

[smeagolsfree]

I can't keep track of the floor counts on some of these projects other than go with what has been reported. 

As far as the second ave. project goes, they are staying mum right now other than confirming they are core drilling, but that bodes well for the project, I hope.

Sure would love to see a 38 floor Buckingham tower in a Gulch photo 4 - 5 years from now. I keep think if they did half condos/half apts or a one third/ 2 third split....it could be a winner (similar to 505). Wonder how the Aerston's leasing is going? Anyone know?....I reckon their next Nashville strategic moves will be predicated on that.

Demo about to start at site for Third Avenue Storage (7 stories) at corner of Lindsley Ave. 

 

[nashwatcher]

Do we know if they plan on connecting Lindsley to Lafayette through this site as was laid out in the Plan for SoBro, important long term for the street grid, or is this going to be neglected?

[PaulChinetti]

All the renderings look like they keep the curve that is there. Also

"Under the Downtown Code, storefronts such as retail, restaurant and office space are required along primary streets such as Lafayette to create activity for pedestrians. Location and topography of the 0.58-acre property make it difficult to comply with those guidelines, according to a letter sent to the committee by project architect Hunter Gee."

Revised plan for the Mainland site where Centerstone used to be on Jefferson Street... http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2017/04/18/fewer-condos-more-townhomes-planned-germantowns-centerstone-site/100587798/

• Nearly a year ago, Mainland Cos. planned mostly condos for the former Centerstone site plus a few townhomes.
• Now the developer plans 21 townhomes and roughly 40 percent fewer units overall.
• Mainland hopes to start grading the new construction portion of the 2-acre site within 90 days.
• The overall project is expected to include a 1,000 square foot retail space at the corner of Sixth and Madison.

From the Tennessean:

Architecture firm Hastings completes Ben West Library purchase

Hastings Architecture Associates LLC now owns Nashville’s old Ben West Library building after paying the city's government $2 million under a deal that the Metro Council approved earlier this month.

Under the deal Metro retains a right to use auditorium space inside the old library once a month for public event space, which is estimated to have a value of $500,000.

Hastings plans to renovate the former library located at 225 Polk Ave. to become its new main offices.
