Looks pretty good. Fine with the large garage as long as it sits above a floor of ground retail

A spring 2024 start date is planned and pre-sales have begun for the 194 condos.  These are 4 more units than previously listed.  There will be 116 suite style hotel rooms (4 less than previously announced).  Still 60,000 sq. ft. of office space. 

Voce will offer one-, two- and three-bedroom condos priced starting in the $500,000s. Three-bedroom units will start at $1.5 million, with the building to offer up to nine penthouses. Owners will have the option to choose between three furnished designs if they opt into the hotel model.

the Voce rooftop deck will boast a 4,000-square-foot restaurant/bar adjacent to a pool, with the deck to offer views of Nashville’s downtown and Midtown skylines. The Voce restaurant will provide à la carte food and beverage service to both hotel guests and residents.

Other amenities will include a fitness center, full-time concierge services, golf simulator lounge, bike storage and shop, co-working spaces with conference rooms, designated parking spaces, valet service, package delivery and pick-up center, rideshare portico and 2,500-square-foot outdoor dog park.

700 parking spaces seems really excessive?

They’re also providing(replacing) parking for the office building owned by the developers that fronts West End Ave. The office building currently utilizes the surface lots this building will go up on.

I get that, it does still feel like alot though.

The current parking lot is about 136 spaces. Assuming a 1.25 parking ratio for the 310 condos equals about 388 spots. 388 + 136 spots for the existing parking needs equals 524 spots. Leaving 176 parking spots for the office use. This would put it right in the wheelhouse of 3 parking spots per 1,000 square feet of office - which is the figure I have always been told for office leasability.

Cool project. Should add some life to the area. Like it or not, Nashville is a car city.

I'll also throw in that with 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units, you'll have more than 1 person living in many units. I'll also add that the more parking you have the taller the building might be, if height matters...

This is an AirBNB, similar to the Odyssey in West End Park. The vast majority of residents will not live here, and will instead be renting their units out short term.

Just my opinion - At some point our AirBNB craze will slow down and buildings that think beyond it will do better than ones with limited parking. The STR next to us (4 units), that for years was totally tourists shifted to 2 long term rental units this summer (2 are still STR). The 4 (on site) parking spaces, that worked fine for tourists, can't accommodate the 8+ students that moved in (attending a very close Belmont) all of whom brought cars.

The 700 car garage could also serve additional new restaurants/retail in the neighborhood as it gets denser.

I think and hope you are right. There are a number of buildings built specifically for AirBNB usage in the past few years. Also many townhome developments created solely for this purpose. I used to think the impact on housing prices was minimal but I am coming around to the belief that the impact is in the  3-5% range on prices.

With 60,000 sf of office, 11,000 sf of retail & a 4,000 sf restaurant part of this project and as Mark mentioned surrounding retail/restaurants . And 2 -3 bedroom units , 700 parking spaces might be conservative.
