Construction fencing and concrete cutting on site this morning at the building on the corner of 6th and Peabody street. Not sure if this is just a remodel of whatever existing building is there or a complete new company, but figured worth noting.

I believe that's the Yee Haw brewery/beer garden project.

Best person to confirm would be @nvestnbna

All of the permits have been pulled and that is the location of Yee Haw.

Nothing yet.  Obviously prime lot.  Zoned for up to 30 stories.

Because a 31 story building would just ruin the neighborhood!  lol

Well, we sure wouldn't want a 70 story building there! Now would we! That would look just horrible! LOL

A  1/2 acre Germantown property  at 1320 Rosa Parks Blvd (directly east across the street from Kroger) has been listed for sale for $1.9 million. That works out to $89 a foot for the  empty lot.  It is zoned for mixed-use.

There’s already a thread about this project, along with the workforce-housing/homeless services building he wants to build as well.

My bad didn’t check the main forum!

Why, why WHY is such a large ONE-STORY structure in a prime area being preserved, and not transformed into something that utilizes the space better???? This is the Gulch! Go TALL.

I like diversity amongst buildings, especially in the gulch

This could be a prime example of where Nashville could utilize a "Transfer of Developable Rights" type of practice. Take the space that otherwise would be developed in a taller building, put it into a development bank for the area and allow other buildings to tap that bank when appropriate. 

Also, this is essentially a Pinewood 2.0, no?

The owner of this space has unused Air Rights that he could sell to another developer who wants to go taller than what is allowed by current zoning. 

Would the Transfer of Developable Rights essentially be the same thing?

Went to Pins Mechanical in Columbus last week. This is something we have needed for a long time, and it's a really, truly cool place. Scale be damned, I expect us to have a UP meetup there once complete!

Just an observation to add -
I waked 3rd Av. South yesterday, and from the Shelby Bridge termination to Broadway (and somewhat beyond) the area is incredibly decrepit and foul smelling. I am amazed the kitschy museums are doing any business. It was an incredibly unwelcoming area with trash and construction invading every one of the my senses. I do hope the area regains some lost glory when all is said and done.

Agreed, third needs some work.

FGL House, just moved in and I've seen lines there that went all the way to Pinnacle, so I imagine it'll start getting some more love. 

Also if the city would stop letting construction block sidewalks that would definitely help!

3rd Ave and Broadway was pandemonium today.  I walk downtown almost every day at lunch and between the sidewalk widening (which I like), the bar construction and the road closures, it's a flipping mess.  I hope they can get through the construction quickly.
