On 28th, the taller pedestrian railing is in place only on the portion directly over the rail right of way, and the balustrades on that portion are filled in solid.     Looks like the same is happening on the Division connector.    Others on this board are more knowledgeable about such things, but I'm guessing these are CSX requirements.

That's correct.

Personally, I'd rather they just build the railing higher and allow a person to look out with an unobstructed view instead of through fencing.

CSX requires a fence at least eight feet high from the sidewalk surface.

They made this part of trolley barn project larger than originally planned. Maybe the rest will get bigger as well.

Yes, it is a shipping container and will be a food kiosk.   Sort of a permanent food truck.     I'm not sure who the vendor is that will occupy it.    The City Center owners are also constructing an outdoor stage and new seating and landscaping on the plaza.     I'll try to snap some pictures of the renderings in the building lobby.

From today's Nashville Post:

A large-scale mixed-use project is being eyed for a North Davidson County site.

If it materializes, The Villages at Hodges Hill could offer, according to a Metro document, 122 residences and some agricultural uses on a site spanning about 42 acres.

The project would have an address of 4000 Brick Church.

According to the Metro property records, Twelve Stones Developments Corp. owns the parcel, having acquired it for $355,000 in December 2016.

Twelve Stones has enlisted Nashville-based Dale and Associates for land planning and engineering duties. The team will go before the Metro Planning Commission on Thursday, Oct. 12, to seek specific plan rezoning.

The property sits within the District 3 of Metro Councilmember Brenda Haywood.

You'll be getting my bill from the chiropractor. I can't straighten my neck up.

I don’t believe we’ve had a rendering before for 10th and Scovel Townhomes that Travis Kelty will be building.  This is from a new sign on the lot:

At least he's graduated from a sketch on a napking to SimCity 2000.  But no way that's done by a professional architect.

This is just a working image to show what can be built. Not an official rendering. WW talked to Travis several months ago when I found the image.

Oh good, so itll actually be much, much worse in real life!

That is really hideous, especially considering that the surrounding neighborhood is residential.     I assume the ground level is parking?   Either that or a maximum security prison.

The tower is a nice touch. Classy. More of this type of architecture, please !

As I understand it the flood wall would increase water levels on the East Bank by a half inch.

Great looking project... broken record time... I am on the brink of a fit of rage every time I see those power lines.

[timmay143]

Omg, guys, I think something is wrong!  I am going Nashville blind.  I didn't even notice them at first, and they always bug me!

Big crane set up to do work on U.S. Tobacco Building (I wish it had a massive wrecking ball on it...but alas, I think it's just some work on the roofing).

Heard they have plans along those lines (wrecking ball) that may come to pass before too many more years go by.

[smeagolsfree]

They just spent 2 million reroofing the building. They are not going anywhere anytime soon.
