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

[smeagolsfree]

One of the things I hope has been taken care of were all the cheesy side walks signs on third. They were blocking the walk and people had to walk into the street to avoid them. I think Metro violated some folks over there for that brainless move.

 

Once the Harry O's and the Moxy is open, things should get better. But the stink of restaurant trash needs to be addressed. Starting to smell like NoLa in places.

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.

We need and want all types of buildings in Nashville. This is an older building that MUST be preserved simply because  you cant go around and tear all the old stuff down simply because it is a one story building or even a two story building. Imagine if someone wanted to tear down the customs house because  its not up to the sidewalk, or tear the Ryman down, (it almost happened) because is was no longer being used. These buildings have character and need to be preserved.

The owner of this space has unused FAR 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?

Along the same lines. I am no expert by any means, but was researching it as a possible option for my architecture thesis.

I'm saying that they should be doing something like the Hearst Tower in Manhattan. Still street-level preserved, but with amazing height.

I love that building.  it was designed to be very tall. but was never completed.  i believe the modern addition is actually shorter that the original designed height.

Bob Dylan has partnered with Nashville-based Angel's Envy Whiskey, to launch the Heaven's Door brand whiskey. It will be based out of 410 Elm St., the one time church that has been home to Tuck Hilton Architects for years, but will soon be part of a new distillery/entertainment/lodging  complex run by Marc Bushala.

A $14.3 million permit related to the 7 story Hampton Inn & Suites to front Dickerson Pike near the point at which the road intersects with Briley Parkway and Interstate 65 has been issued. The hotel will be part of a mixed-use development to be called Skyline Center and to include a Rock ‘n Dough Pizza Co., which are also found in Jackson and Memphis.  A slightly larger rendering from what we've posted previously is below.

This is pretty big news, no? 

[smeagolsfree]

This is very big news. This is a major corp. relocation from NYC.

 

Here is the story. Mark is probably out for a bit. If someone want to keep it here or post somewhere else, that's fine.

Wow, I wonder which office they're going to be located at?

[smeagolsfree]

I think it may be Fifth + Broad as they want to be in their new building by 2021. It could also be the tall boy at Nashville Yards.

[ariesjow]

They are heavily rumored to land at 5th + Broadway, right? I thought someone recently mentioned that a global financial services company was likely to sign on there. It seems likely after reading the article.

[e-dub]

For some reason, I think I'd prefer it to be at Nashville Yards.

This is Huge news. This may potentially lead AXA, their parent company, to move here.

I would not count on that AXA has a huge office in Charlotte and just announced 550 new jobs last  year here.  AXA North American HQ is in NYC and that likely stays there.

True, not the entirety of AXA, but probably a few more subsidiaries of it.

Regarding AllianceBernstein: I agree that 5th &  Broadway makes the best sense since they want to be settled by 2021, and that 26 story tower should be completed in that time frame.  But until we know for sure, I won't place this in that 5th & Broadway thread.
