Any recent news on next phase? Are they permitted for the next tower or two yet?

Hadn't been to this string in a minute.  Really digging how this one turned out.  And really digging that screening design.  I find it eye catching and I think it will stand out as unique and helps the building design be even more memorable.

I remember reading something that said they had targeted late last year (2023) to start phase II. But I would guess that the current high interest rate market conditions might have delayed those  plans. 

I wouldn't be personally surprised if this phase II did not start until 2025. Hopefully this year, but would not be shocked if it dug in and kicked off, in '25.

I love the passthroughs and alleys created by this. Human-scale pedestrian spaces like that are great!

You mean... the Paseos

Indeed!

Found these renderings for the third phase of Paseo South (southern end of the property that faces Division St.).  Previously these had been proposed as a 22 story office tower and 30 story residential tower.  In these new renderings, the taller is now a 22 story hotel at 700 Division, and the one on the corner of 8th Ave. South and Division looks to be 16 stories (nor sure if its office or residential).

These will make that corner even fuller. Don't hate the designs. 

I wish there was something we could do about that railroad cutting right through downtown.

I actually think it gives the downtown character. Super original and kind of cool.

As long as density and public space usage is built up and around the tracks, it makes for a nice visual and urban throwback aesthetic for residents and visitors downtown. 

If it is railroad tracks going through an under-utilized, vacant-lot strewn, sort of low density area, I would agree the tracks are sort of ugly. But with Nashville's boom and dense development happening around the tracks, it's a nice original amenity Nashville has.
