Minor detail here. Desano is taking up only half of this building. Their entrance will be at the entry "pop-out" and then go toward Geist. The Von Elrods side is a different establishment called Barrel Proof (?). I believe it is designed by Remick Architecture and is being built by Impetus

Is this area part of the scrap yard? If not, any plans for future redevelopment?

Yes, that is part of PSC Metals.  As far as possible development, that would be a question for Mr.  Icahn. My guess is he will hold onto the whole site and sell it as one big piece when he gets an offer he can't refuse.

Maybe Ballpark? 

[PaulChinetti]

My assumption is Nashville Recycling LLC is PSC. They own 49.82 (let's say an even 50) acres on the East Bank. At a going rate of $350 per sq ft. That's about $762,300,000, whistle noooooooise. 

I'd imagine it's going to command a premium as well, so I'd say a cool $1-1.5 billion and I'd bet he would sell. Anyone want to start a go fund me?

 

EDIT 

I'm bad at real estate appraisal and my buddy has informed me it's probably way more difficult than that, and trying to find comps for a chunk of land that size, in a location like that would be damn near impossible. He said your best bet would be Oracle and what they paid for River North, and consider all the concessions they got as well.

What is the difference between a town home and a row home? Are they interchangeable? Do they have to be built a certain way?

I would definitely think that they are different and not really interchangeable.  But I could see how some folks may use them as such.

A quick google search turned up a couple sources.

So what is sad to me is I don't know what happens to all this wood once it is removed from the site. The pre-made form panels and steel stairs are more expensive I'm sure, but they get used over and over over again. I can't help but think that these forms get pulled off and essentially thrown away. Talk about completely unsustainable construction practices if that is the case.

Can anyone confirm what happens to formwork like this?

[PaulChinetti]

Tossed for sure. Wasn’t there a bill about a year or two ago about construction waste?
