Taco Mamacita's new location. The new steel is for a small bar addition and outdoor patio. The bar will be able to open up to the patio space as well. It will include a walk up window near the street corner as well.

That back patio is almost exactly the same as the one they did for their Clyde's location on Church Street.

I wish they could make the red "brick" look a little older

[Bos2Nash]

Gotta remember this is just a rendering. MDHA does have say in submittals and final selections on certain things in this area, so it is possible the brick ends up looking like it has been there awhile

If they allow that building next to Nudies to be that tall (and that ugly)…I’m gonna be ticked.

The final site plan has been approved, so I think it IS going to be that tall. The top floor is, however, stepped back so the appearance from the street will be about the same height at nearby buildings on  Broadway.

Sarcasm?

This is actually already approved through planning and they are working through the permitting now. Only the top floor is stepped back though (and way back with that). You can see in the documents below

Not sarcasm.  I don’t remember this structure having that very top part on earlier renders…so I guess I missed it.  The top two floors are hideous.  If it stopped at the red brick portion…awesome.  The rest is a disaster…IMO.

I think this is what is allowed in the overlay too.

A good number of the Lower Broad historics have added similar rooftop venues that do not match the historic detailing.  Yes the top setback floors were in the original renderings.  I have seen worse.  I do think the actual building will be MUCH better looking .... thgs is a terrible rendering... colors are flat and the existing buildimngs are screened out..  Hopefully a mixed range brick  with a good mortar joint tooling and real stone facings on the arch will be much more blended in with the merchants and Nudies.  It for one am pleased to se a gap tooth parking lot disappear.  Itcould have been much worse.

The understanding within overall planning within historical districts is also to make new buildings distinctively different. the perfect example of this is the Moxy and how the addition on top of the old record storage is a modern material with inspiration drawn from audio levels on a sound board.  I think the continuation of the arch language is nice language continuation and the modern look should be a nice difference from the other rooftops on Lower Broadway, IMO

Thank you.  That does look better.  Ok…I’ll stop hyperventilating

The water sewer permit alludes to a hotel. Like we need another hotel at that location. This company Alamo Manhattan that has the site under contract has a sizable project in Portland, but other than that the portfolio is not very impressive. If they do a hotel, I will suspect it will be a mixed-used project with residential.  Please DO NOT POST THIS on the Twitter feed. 

Looking like a 400 room Marriott per NBJ (https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2022/03/02/marriott-downtown.html)... any additional info on the speculation of mixed-use?

Welcome to the forum, DiddyMass!   : )

There is now a thread for this project called "Marriott Hotel, 125 7th Ave. North."  I haven't heard any more speculation on this being mixed with office space at this time.

The new owners of The Arcade have added another historic structure near the western entrance of the mall to their holdings.  246 Rep.

Where is the fire station (main?) that serves downtown now? Is it at the top of Rolling Mill Hill?
