Centric Hotel, 20 stories, 252 rooms, 8,000 s. ft. retail, March, 2019 start, C.B. Ragland, 200 Molloy St. (2nd Ave South & Molloy)

[MidTenn1]

A couple of renderings I haven't seen before (from Texcitement on Skyscraper Page). It will be 256' tall. And from Hastings....

She/he also says Ragland is rumored to be planning a 40 story office/hotel adjacent to this. No other details.

Who owns the surface lot behind there? Hayes?

I wish glass ran all the way down the building.  But...other than that...not a bad look.

My only issue with this area in Sobro is all the buildings are blending in together and the 5-6 great developments aren't very noticeable.

One more rendering from the Hastings Architecture page.  Also, this explanation of the facade:

At the same time, Hyatt Centric celebrates the imperfect city grid with a facade pattern abstracted from the historic SoBro street grid. More fine grain detail in the facade composition refers to the production and composition of the music and maker scene which make SoBro a vibrant neighborhood. Guest rooms and above-grade parking cantilever fourteen-feet overhead shading the entire ground floor of the southern façade. Raised guest rooms sit above neighboring podiums to take best advantage of city views.

Clad in metal and perforated anodized aluminum panel, the materiality conveys a contemporary vocabulary to the city’s skyline. Ipe and copper panels accent the black and white composition introducing warmth and texture.

Another form going up for the crane tower foundation.  Sorry if too many crane tower pictures...........not sure if i'll ever see this particular process again.   Also wanted to show that big rig that just pulled up to the site.

Imagine how much dude gets paid to drive that immensity across the city.

Much appreciated guys.   I posted these pics on the 505 site a month or so ago.  Is cool to see the tower assembly and the precision that goes into each one.

I have a hunch the driver was using a variety of four-letter words driving through downtown, especially if any right-hand turns were involved.

Speaking of right-hand turns.    This poor truck driver had a little mishap last night trying to make a turn from Woodmont onto Lealand.    Cut it a little short.
