With other buildings going up and a new tallest in the works, I like the Batman Building someone isolated on its own. It would be a shame if it was blocked like Viridian does to L&C Tower.

Again, I think at some point the Batman will have some rather tall company. It may take a decade, but its a guess with some of the crap on Commerce.

It cannot be blocked from the riverside view because of zoning, as it is on the edge of the historic overlay.

Rutledge Flats (8 stories, 174 micr residential units, 1,000 sq. ft. retail) has received a$4.85 million permit for the building's exterior.

Major work on underground infrastructure at intersection of 8th Ave. South and Division St. with all the new residential developments going up within 2 blocks.


 

[bnacincy]

As I mentioned in the Memphis forum awhile back  quite a few areas in Memphis have their utilities buried underground-well as I have since found out its about 40% of the City of Memphis that has its utilities underground-the largest percentage of any city in the state.

What I wish NES  would do is bury the utilities in Sobro and Midtown and the Gulch. Wouldn't be cheap though. Aesthetically it would make a huge difference and could  make the area even more attractive to developers than it already is.

To the moderators, is there a string where individual building height is discussed?  I've seen folk discuss 5/3, Pinnacle, Bridgestone, and such.  I was just looking over the downtown area using Google's 3D map and noticed tremendous height disparity between the Skyhouse and Palmer Plaza, yet there's only a 20' listed difference.  I'm now not sure who or what to believe as I'm looking at our building heights.  Please save me from this slow skyscraper lover death.

Looks like The Livery (2 stories, mixed-use) is finally getting underway after 4 years of delays.

There was a water main break and the street has been temporarily closed for repairs.

If there is I am not recalling it. You are welcome to start on as I am sure I know of a few folks that will be more than able to get the ball rolling here.  Not my bailiwick however as I have enough peas, carrots, and meat on my plate.

From the NBJ: Two Old Hippies in the Gulch (across from the new W Hotel) will close on May 31 after 10 years in business.

Always sad to see a local business close, but I'm optimistic that the storefront might be filled by something like DGX to provide goods and services badly needed in the neighborhood.

Hello, y'all.  Yep, it's been awhile since I posted.

A neighbor in Terrazzo told me yesterday that Turnip Truck may be leaving as well.  With Whole Foods and Publix less than a mile away, I would not be surprised to hear that TT is leaving.  It is a shame: for many years they have been a wonderful treasure for Gulch residents.  Our family has sweet memories here since my oldest daughter landed her first job out of college at this location.

[smeagolsfree]

I have been hearing TT was going to be leaving for a while now. I think it was waiting on the opening of the new store on Charlotte and after that was open this one would close. 

The price point for the WF and the Publix seems to be about the same and the opening of those tow stores could not have helped.

With the Gulch the way it is, I do not think there will be issues getting new tenants for Two Old Hippies and TT. At some point the TT site is going to be redeveloped.

Welcome to the forum, Amanda.  : )

I took photos of the site a few days ago that will be  posted soon.  Basically still doing a lot of prep work with sewer lines, flood abatement, etc.  Nothing has started rising out of the ground yet.  The official name is now Grand Oaks at Great Circle.  Will feature 467 units in 8 buildings ranging from 2 to 5 stories each.   Here's a rendering:

Oy, Metrocenter is a mystery to me.  So that's one the river... is there another multi-building apartment development across the street from that one? 

NVM: I think I found it on the Dev Map... The Knox!  I think that's the one. 

And while we're on the subject, isn't there a second phase of The Duke?  Anyone tallied up the total number of apartments underway in Metrocenter?  I see only that it's proposed.  And what is the height limit on buildings in Metrocenter?

I think you will only see 3 to 5 stories in Metro Center as far as these apartment buildings go. Price point baby. They have to keep the construction cost down to make them affordable. The days of tall buildings in Metro Center are over. I think the tallest is maybe 10 stories and that was done probably 20 plus years ago. I think that is 200 Athens Way.
