I'm confused as to what this outrigging is. It is not part of the permanent structure. I am wondering if they are framing out what will essentially be scaffolding because they wouldn't be able to close the sidewalk and/or another lane of traffic?

Man I'm glad the honky tonks are getting built. There would almost be nothing going on if they weren't getting built.

Yes! Tony’s new “Tennessee’s Tallest” & Nashville Yards are SO close to almost nothing.

The Icon and Velocity in The Gulch both have the scaffolding down that was being utilized for some sort of facade update work for several months.

I live in Infinity Lofts (aka Velocity).  They’ve paused whatever the balcony repair project is, maybe until the spring? In the meantime, they have locked most residents off their balconies (nailed shut from the outside).

Thanks for the update, Morgan.  : )

I certainly hope they got clearance from the fire marshal to nail those balcony doors shut. (I would think that such a change in the function of the potential exit from a building would require the consideration of the fire department.)

405 Broadway (5 story, 30,000 sq. ft.  entertainment bar) update.

Looking SW from intersection of 4th Ave. and Broadway:

[markhollin]

The two structures totaling 12,286 sq. ft. on the .2 acre site the fronts at 218 4th Ave. North on the west , and Printers Alley on the east are up for sale at an undisclosed asking price. Bourbon Street Blues and Boogie Bar inhabits the eastern side, and the closed Which Wich restaurant used to to business on the western section.  Arbour Valley Communities owns the site (as well as the Boogie Bar business), having paid $7.86 million for it 4 years ago.

Possibilities for the site ...

Retain the building housing Bourbon Street and redevelop the footprint of the building last housing the Which Wich with a hotel structure. The zoning for the site offers a multitude of uses and is a "prime" location for redevelopment. A buyer could also, via a lease-back agreement, have Bourbon Street return to any future building once construction is finalized.

Don't count on a 30-story building at that site anytime soon, if ever, IMO.  Marketing ploy!

Although you’re probably right, is a building of that height possible here? Or is this part of some overlay area , that would hinder such a thing?

[MLBrumby]

It's a 21-story building in the rendering, but I don't know what is permitted there as of now. That would be taller than any buildings surrounding it in the block. I see this property as a test of the DT market through this R/E "rough patch". If it sells, and for how much, it will tell if there's still the sanguine uptrend in the CBD. It's likely to be a large corporation who can afford to sit on it and wait out things... and I'd expect they'll dicker quite forcefully on price. I've seen the same thing as mentions above that developers are sitting on their wallets. Chattanooga is doing OK, but things have slowed since last year.

Setting aside Midtown and East Bank, I tend to look at downtown and break it into clusters.  It seems that downtowns sometimes have distinct characteristics and I think "clusters" is it for Nashville.  Not sure if we'll ever get to just one large continuous downtown mass and I think that's cool.  Now, I'd love to see the different clusters themselves fill in.  For instance, the circle cluster would improve its massing if 10th & Clark, Ritz, Vela, 800 Lea, and others were to materialize.  The southbank cluster would be an awesome edition if Park Place, Cumulus, Tishman, and the culinary district project joined Peabody Union.  The CBD cluster is solid for obvious reasons.  Once NY fills out and partners with  Snodgrass, Tempo, the Y and hopefully11 North and 901 MLK, the new CBD-West cluster will certainly be transformative.  Then you include Sobro, which has filled in nicely plus the Gulch cluster/node which continues to fill in, just wow.  Nashville will not just be the Music City, but the Cluster City as well   New meaning to Goo Goo Cluster!
