Probably will keep the trees as the apartment building just north kept them.

An 11.7 acre site at 2500 West Heiman St. just east of TSU is being eyed for a multiple building residential complex by Dominium Development. Smith Gee will serve as architect. A rendering and more details on amount of units, etc. will be released later this month.  Metro Planning Commission will hear a request for rezoning on Jan. 26, 2020.

Talbot's Corner will be a mixed-use development on 6 acres at 321 West Trinity Lane will be made up primarily of two 7 story structures that will include 220 residential units, off space (undetermined amount), and 40,000 sq. ft. of retail/restaurant space. There will also be a couple story, 7,500 sq. ft. building of office space, and 14 separate townhomes. The site is 1/4 mile west of I-65/24 intersection with Trinity Lane.  The Trinity Lane Development Group is led by former Metro Councilman Jamie Isabel, Sr.  He states they already have the equity lined-up. The hope is for rezoning of the site to be approved by late in the first quarter of 2020, and groundbreaking shortly after that.

I think at some point Asurion expanded into part of that building as well. Maybe i'm mistaken, but maybe something will happen when Asurion moves in 2021 or 22.

Yes.  Asurion has a large footprint there in the 1st Ave building but there’s also another tenant on site as well.   I’d be afraid they keep people there because I’ve heard that they’re already pushing capacity estimates at their new HQ location.

I have friends that work at HCA and they said as soon as they moved into their new building it was already over capacity. Is it just really hard to forecast the number of employees you have/going to have or are companies just trying to not build a new building and have empty space? Seems if you over build then you don't have to rent additional space right after building a new building.

The Nashville Spring building on 9th Ave S came down yesterday.  This is part of the Hampton Inn site, I believe.  I have posted this in the project's thread:

Great pics, @KJHburg!   I live in this building.  If you look down the Division Street side of the building, to the left, you can see a tree on my balcony.  A few other UPers live in The Gulch.

 

The pedestrian bridge would have crossed the tracks from the near side of the red brick building on the right (Cummins Station)...

 

...to the end of this street where it turns to the right.

 

Glad you enjoyed your annual pilgrimage!

For purpose-built buildings (whether owned by the company or leased) companies tend to be more conservative because they are on the hook for the rent for the whole building no matter what. They can somewhat mitigate this risk by subletting to other tenants if they don't need end up needing all of the space or are intending to grow into the space.

When leasing at a non-purpose built or spec building, companies are still pretty conservative but negotiate up front for expansion rights into other parts of the building (usually contiguous space and/or floors if they are available).

I'm not sure, but HCA may have moved operations from one of their other buildings into their new building at Capitol View, as I recall that a large one on their main campus (at the corner of 31st & Park) was gutted and renovated very recently. Did those employees go to Capitol View on a temp basis? I've learned that space utilization is fluid, as we've wondered about Asurion in the wake of outsourcing/laying off several hundred employees.

Red PhoneBooth, a speakeasy bar will open tonight at 9:30 at 136 Rosa L. Parks Blvd (just north of Hume Fogg H.S.) in the 70+ year old structure that used to house Tin Cup Cafe.

Red Phone Booth can be accessed only after patrons dial a secret phone number from within a restored London-themed antique red phone booth. To obtain the number, guests can become a member of the bar or ask a member (or somebody else who knows the number, such as a hotel concierge).  Showcasing a 1920s speakeasy theme, the Red Phone Booth interior features, the release notes, restored original brick and reclaimed tobacco barn wood floors, a honey onyx bar, “intimate” fireplaces, custom Italian leather couches and hand-painted ceiling with back lighting.

As a former employee of HCA, I can tell you that this is their pattern... whichever way, it always comes about.

So my question regarding docs like this... is this a case of 'ask for all you can get' and then build what you think the market will bear?  One million s.f. of office is enormous and then all the residential units... that's a huge project. Would love it if someone emailed that jackson person at ragan and smith and asked very specific questions like 'how tall?' ... 'how much money?' etc.

I'm not entirely sure. I posted because of how large the proposal was. 

For comparison, here is the document from the hotel proposed at 1st and KVB:

Proposed

Office - 1,000,000 sq ft

Retail - 20,000 sq ft

1 Bedroom Units - 167 units

2 Bedroom Units - 167 units

3 Bedroom Units - 166 units

Somehow it's all still going to be squeezed into 28 stories, I'm sure.

With that many apartments...that would have to be probably close to 500k sq ft alone...right?  More apartments than The Place.   All in all...this whole thing sounds like more total sq footage than 5th + B.  If those numbers hold true for residential and office...there would have to be some significant height.

Again a story will go live this afternoon. Been working on this for a while and hoping no one would stumble upon to tip off out competition.

 

The players will not talk because they are under obligation from the developers. We are in contact with all of the parties and hope to give you some good info later today.. Stand By.

Feel free to delete stuff if you need to keep it under wraps.

Ludlow Flats (5 stories, 68 units at SW corner of Scovel and 10th Ave. North) update.  Concrete pour (courtesy of REI Concrete):

 

[Craiger]

I don’t understand. Can someone explain why we don’t want to tip someone off based on publicly accessible documents? Who is someone? Is the developer not going to build if people on the internet find their water application?
