I would be very disappointed if these two small lots did not create very tall resi towers here.

So they both have that same look @markhollin ? With the V opening towards downtown?

Remember these are both concept renderings, not proposals for actual buildings.

Right, just trying to align them in my head.

The concept for 706 7th shows that....we only have the one concept for 630 Division that doesn't show the "back" side...but I guess that would be a good assumption.

I sense from your comments that you fail to understand that technological advancement is a fundamental, evolutionarily-inherited trait of humans.  It's what we do.

What you sense (i.e. assume) and what you know (which is nothing about me) are two different things.  What you sense couldn't be further from the truth of my reality and existence.   Done.

Hiring delivery people will become unnecessary when drones reach their full potential.

All of the issues you mentioned will be resolved and drones will become ubiquitous.  The skies will be filled with buzzing drones and your complaining about it will simply be attributed to your old-fashioned mentality and your quaint, outdated notion of what is normal (their future words, not mine).  

Also, regarding jobs - those jobs are going away just as sure as blacksmiths and carriage-makers went away.  Nothing you can do will stop the inevitable replacement of low-skill jobs with automation.  Cry about it.  Vote against it.  Whatever you want - but eventually your very survival will depend on your adoption of the newest technology.  In the same way that you can't just go out in the woods and live on deer meat and burn wood for heat without committing to an austere life of isolation as a hermit woodsman, so too will you be unable to insulate your "normal" existence from the inexorable progress of technology. 

I sense from your comments that you fail to understand that technological advancement is a fundamental, evolutionarily-inherited trait of humans.  It's what we do.

Why the tone?

@PillowTalk4 made some good points and I don't think was being argumentative at all.

RE drones - Reminds me of self-driving cars. A few years ago everyone was saying by 2020 self-driving cars would either be here in full stock or close to it. Now people are realizing there is a lot that goes into the technology.

Breaking News: Blue Parrot to become Nashville's first rooftop bar that is... just a rooftop bar. A 50-foot high honky tonk paradise on brick stilts.

Saying that "there is a lot that goes into the technology" does not provide cover for the statement "I don't want to see the skies filled with buzzing drones".  Pillowtalk was explaining why Target needs to build new stores and his reasons for this were because he thinks drones are a long way off, he doesn't like drone smog, and he does like low-skilled jobs.  My response was to say  that drone-filled skies would be a massive leap forward in logistical efficiency, and progress waits for no one.  I don't think it would be smart for Target to build more physical retail - it's a bad investment, especially in the middle of a city where fast delivery would be so feasible to deploy given the short distances.

Retail stores are big fixed assets that have proven to be  major liabilities during times of rapidly changing market dynamics.  Hopefully Target knows this and they have made a conscious decision to stop building new stores and upgrade their delivery offering.  IKEA did this - if you remember.  That's why they cancelled the Nashville store... they looked at the trends and saw the end of physical retail on the horizon.

The Water Treatment plant that borders Germantown and Salemtown is going through a $400 million upgrade, with a scheduled finish of Nov. 2023.  The main offices at 1700 3rd Ave. North will be rehoused in a couple of large 4 story structures.  The plant will be rebranded as  the Central Water Reclamation Facility. 

The significantly overhauled site eventually will offer a dog park, a water feature park, green space and an extension to the Magdeburg Greenway. 

Metro has enlisted Barge Design Consultants (land-planning and engineering), HDLA Landscape Architects (landscape architecture), Centric Architecture (design) and Brasfield & Gorrie (general contractor) for the project. Each is Nashville based. The local offices New York-based Hazen Sawyer (lead designer for the headworks facility) and California-based Brown & Caldwell (designer for process improvements) are also participating.

I did change the shape of the building to an ell shape now.

I found a poor image and site plan for the above project. Nothing great.

Quite an improvement over the current state of these properties.    Let's hope Metro finds the funding to make this happen.    It would be nice to see that greenway segment eventually extend north along 3rd and into Metrocenter.

Are we talking about that tiny sliver of land that you drive up into if you're going to eat at Merchants?
