Only landscaping can save a building like that.  They need to get some ivy groving up those walls as soon as possible.

I noticed a sign at 2030 Rosa L. Parks on my way to work this morning that says Dunkin Donuts and Chipotle coming soon.  It's an old Shoney's building. From the permit site it looks like there will be 2 retail spots in the old building and they are also building a new building with a drive through on the property (probably the Dunkin Donuts).  Not terribly exciting....but Metro Center can use all the food it can get at lunch time. 

[smeagolsfree]

Yes, I saw it a couple of weeks ago on a permit or some other Metro doc. Too much stuff I see that never gets in the news.

BTW, I added a ton of items on the map from Development Tracker, permits, and permits applied for. Some of it will show up in news articles this week and some may not.

Lots of things happening, however most of it is spread out all across Davidson County.

You are 100% correct on 2030 Rosa Parks.  That's my best friend's lot and he had been debating what businesses to bring to that spot.  We had discussed possibly a fast casual concept like a Panera or a Corner Bakery.  He was approached by the guys doing those two concepts and I believe an unnamed third is actually going there as well if I'm not  mistaken.

It appears that the RJ Young properties with a cumulative 3.5 acres along Division Street at the intersection with 9th Ave. South in The Gulch are about to be sold. An unknown buyer seems to be lined-up, but a contract has not tendered yet.  The current owner has also submitted a Metro rezoning request.

This screen shot from Smeagolsfree's excellent development map shows the two plots in the center of the frame in gray:

Broadstone Stockyard Flats has landed a $2.1 million permit to allow for foundation work on the two new apartment buildings. And recently another $300,000 permit was granted to allow for interior demo work on the former Stockyard Restaurant building.

Demo going on of interior and some minor outdoor facilities in/around the former Stockyard Restaurant building.  Looking east from 3rd Ave. North, just north of Stockyard St:

Seems like I recall some comments on this thread several years ago that there is no height limit on one of these parcels?  (Couldn't find it via search)  Which parcel would be the subject of the rezoning?  Can't get past the paywall. 

[smeagolsfree]

There are height limits everywhere except in parts of the CBD and even then there FAA has to approve over 750', I think.

That makes perfect sense.  I must have been taken in by the hyperbole of some of the UP residents.

Regardless, 3.5 acres is a lot of space.  I'd love to see a massive development with a skyway high above Division St.

[Pdt2f]

Lots of potential with this land. Hopefully we don’t end up with a 1 story restaurant on one parsel and another hotel on the other...

[markhollin]

Fencing is up around the octagon-shaped 460 James Robertson Parkway building, and interior gutting underway.  Not sure what the plan is.  It is owned by the same group that just razed the small office building a block east for the TownPlace Suites Hotel.  No announcements have been made regarding their plans for this land---but it is prime as if faces JRP.

These lots would fall into the 16 story max with bonus I believe. 

[smeagolsfree]

The Gettys group who is developing the hotel next door owns the site.

 

I cant see that any permits have been issued for this property since 2012.

 

There has been no news as to what plans they have for the building.

[fishsticks176]

I just got an inside scoop that Barry Walker, owner of Marathon Village, is planning to start a small-scale production plant on the premises building replicas of antique Marathon autos. The plans also include an auto-themed bar/restaurant with plexiglass walls looking into the plant. I don’t know how official any of it is yet but it sounds like an amazing concept and I’d love to see it come to fruition. 

Edit: I just did a little bit of research and the auto-themed restaurant/bar seems to be his “Gearheads” concept that he has been sitting on for a while in partnership with Mike Wolfe of American Pickers. I can’t find anything about the production plant though—that seems to be new.

Criminal Justice Center (6 stories, $120 million) update.

Looks very mid-century to me. The weave pattern on the sides and the beige color, and of course, the low slung, flat roof.  When one remembers that this is a jail (so windows are not prevalent) it actually looks/fits its purpose quite well.  I assume there are ample tunnels under the street to provide access to the court rooms in both the main CH & the Burch building.

Interesting on the Panera and Corner Market...if there is one thing that my coworkers mention that is lacking over there, it’s a place like Panera or someplace to get a decent salad. I think ANYTHING he puts over there will do well. At least, during the day M-F...and as they keep adding apartment buildings that will help too.

Took these today.  Did not get the name of the 2 crane construction site at Hermitage Ave and Peabody in the first photo or the apartment complex under construction or maybe it is a hotel?   Other various shots of downtown during the rain this morning.   Hopefully tomorrow will be better LOL.  Sorry so many photos I am a tourist remember.  Broadway was closed for the Veterans Day parade I heard. 

[Nash_12South]

At the right angle, on a gray and rainy day, the building isn't that bad.

Couple more downtown the One Nashville Place building and State Capitol and the Titans stadium.   Today.  

[Tennessine]

Welcome to Nashville dude! Sucks about the weather today. It is pouring in Knoxville right now.

The first picture is Eakin Peabody Plaza: 

The second is a 71 unit residential building called City Lights.
