1) NES Substation at Gay St. and and 1st Ave. North (2 stories):

I've been waiting a long time to see what this one would look like. Clean look.

[PaulChinetti]

Can these substations be incorporated into buildings with offices/retail/living or do they have to stay separate?

I believe they can be integrated into buildings, they just need to be protected and isolated pretty staunchly. I don't know of a developer who would really want to take on the costs of doing that.

A couple new smaller projects announced in the Inner Loop:

1) NES Substation at Gay St. and and 1st Ave. North (2 stories):

This screen shot from Smeagolsfree's excellent development map shows the site highlighted in teal at the center of the frame:




2) Christ Church Cathedral will build a 2 story, 15,744 sq. ft.  addition on the north side of the property. No rendering available.

 

This screen shot from Smeagolsfree's excellent development map shows the site highlighted in teal at the center of the frame:

I designed the last addition to the Cathedral back about 40 years ago.  In order to match the existing Crab Orchard stone of the original church, we reopened the old quarry from with the stone came over 100 years ago.  I hope the new addition will do the same.  It should be built with matching stone and period appearence.  No modern crap needed IMO.

Wildhorse Saloon at 120 2nd Ave. North is going to be reimagined/rebuilt as a Luke Combs-themed multi-level entertainment complex to be called Hurricane.

The 69,000-square-foot complex — to offer an indoor/outdoor capacity of nearly 3,200 people — will be “customized to reflect Combs’ passions for music, songwriting, whiskey and sports." Features will  include a 250  seat honky-tonk featuring daily live music, 1,500-person capacity concert venue for ticketed events, a songwriters room, a 3rd floor sports bar,  as well as a proposed 9,000-square-foot rooftop bar with views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium.

The three levels will offer entertainment elements “inspired by Combs’ songs, lifestyle and personal interests.”

A summer 2024 completion is planned, with the Wildhorse Saloon to stay operational during the update.

Wildhorse Saloon originally was opened in the early 90s.  No word on what the new name will be, or costs to Ryman Hospitality will be for the rebrand .

Agree would like to see the addition match the beauty of the church building.   There’s an existing building in that foot print.  It’s owned by the church but is separated by a driveway cut through.  The building was a former bank and still contains the old walk in vault.  It’s hard to tell from the renderings if that’s being incorporated or replaced.  
 

And very cool that you worked on the previous addition.  Forgot to say that.

This building will never not make me think about this scene (specifically regarding the sausages)

Just walked through the Gulch and noticed a man in Neighbors Franklin gear standing outside the building that was Icon Retail space rumored to host neighbors. Renovations are moving quickly and I would expect an announcement soon.

Yeah, neighbors is going in the old city fire space in the icon building - meant to post that a couple weeks ago.

That is correct. I do like that space as a bar, especially one that already has an established name. This is going to hurt Bar Louie, which it should because that place sux

That's funny... one of my classmates at Duke was from Nashville. His father had the first place (flatbreads?) that went into that location. I ate there once... forgettable.

Urban Flats. My first job post college was in the Bohan building and we would walk down occasionaly to eat.
