I think so, but I like it better as 'one building with 4 spikes'.  

Oh, I thought it was that almost forgotten proposal, Hotel Scissorhands.

Haha thanks for clarifying. With all the glass boxes going up, I got excited when I saw something pointy lol.

Looks like a carnival!!

I do like that shade of purple. It's sad that Nashville's downtown lighting scheme is coming from Grand Hyatt.... and a NES station. 

[smeagolsfree]

This carnival was sponsored by Metro. I wonder what the mayor has to say about that.

Actually, the walk down 11th at night will be very entertaining!  Grand Hyatt, Asurion, NES, and what may be coming from the other towers in the works.

Do these NES lights change colors or patterns?

Gulch Crossings never resumed their light strip, correct?

Not to negative, but as a safety concern; the white lighting on the NES building will blind you, while driving past at night

I haven't seen it in a long time.  One of the stairs broke a couple of weeks ago and caused major headaches for thousands of tourist.  The lights under the stairs are still on.

900 2nd Ave. Townhomes is the working name for a large residential project that appears to be going on the 5.83 acres at 900-1000 2nd Ave. North site that had been home to Tennessee State Dept. of Children's Services as well as State/County Social Security  Services before being heavily damaged by the March 2020 tornado.  The remaining structure (pictured below) will be razed for this new project.  Water and sewer permits have been applied for by the as yet unnamed developer.

Excellent timing on this story (and your post), Mark. I just walked by the site yesterday and wondered what was going there.

The area just north of Marathon Village continues to percolate with another residential project (5 & 7 stories, 445 units, some ground level retail) being planned for the 2.1 acre site at 1301 Herman St. and 907 12th Ave. (currently home to Nashville Tent and Awning). Leftbank Holdings is the developer, and they are doing several others in the neighborhood as well. Smith Gee is the architect.  The team will go before Metro Planning Commission in June for site approval. No renderings yet.

Major land sale in the Gulch. News forthcoming!!!!!!

[markhollin]

Flank, Inc. has purchased the vacant .8 acre lot at 125 11th Ave. North for $16 million to increase their holdings in the North Gulch area.  They now have  75% of that block in their control (to go along with the parcel where Gibson Residences is getting underway), as well as the plot a block to the south where they will build the Edition Hotel. 

“We do not yet have a formal plan for the site, but it will be a mixed-use project that will be complimentary to our residential tower at 1111 Church and the Nashville Edition," Flank emailed the Post. "We are excited to expand our footprint in the Central Gulch.”

Another tower along Church Street, please.  This area needs its own name.  Amazon Row.  Gibson Gulch.  This calls for some creativity.  @titanhog, please?

[smeagolsfree]

Here is the site. I had it on the map but it didnt save. My computer is doing strange things today.

[MLBrumby]

I think that Comers Alley would be fitting.  Could be a really cool area a'la Printers Alley. 

[Bos2Nash]

Comers Alley has some real potential with the steps and retail in the Gibson Residences project and what ever this brings.

lol @MLBrumbyjust beat me to it.
