Station East (1,400 residential units, 600 hotel rooms, 1.2 million sq. ft. office, 225,000 sq. ft. retail; numerous 15-30 story towers on 18 acres)

This station east proposal looks like a small business district, which I think is cool. I would love to see a big name company relocate their headquarters to this site.

This would go a long way in helping deliver on  that look and feel of the East Bank as shown in the Titans' stadium renders.

Absolutely, can you imagine if they can actually build the area around the new stadium to resemble what was in the renderings . Along with this project and whatever GBT has planned, and the Oracle Campus . The East Bank has the potential to surpass the CBD ,as the go to place. Then we have to mention, the Beaman,Hines,Dairy, 2nd&Peabody, Tony G’s three projects, NY, etc… Nashville is going to look so much different soon!

[smeagolsfree]

There was another article in the NBJ today saying there is no firm delivery or start date. We were told this yesterday.

Like I said before I think this will be built in phases of a number of years, just like the Titans village. At least we are starting to see what the East Bank is going to start to look like.

Quite the new skyline for Nashville. I wonder how large this area will be in say, a decade. 

[Deangelo]

If this station east project gets built it would be a small business district on the east bank and expand nashvlle's skyline. Also, this project would help increase the vehicle traffic to east bank. Oracle is the centerpiece of the east bank, because it's going to be thousands of people working at oracle and that's going to bring alot of vehicle traffic, so it's going to be a need for housing, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, and retail stores on the east bank because of all the people working  for oracle. If this station east project gets built it would be good for the east bank it would make the east bank better

In the renderings it looks like it fits in well with the East Bank Plan and the new multimodal blvd

I just love what the East Bank is shaping up to be and I think it’ll be one of the nicest parts of Nashville to go to once it’s all built out. The highrises, the stadium, but also the shorter landings area will be just a really great mix, especially with TopGolf and the new ped bridge mixed in. The shorter area I think is a nice transition and gives a nice neighborhood feel that I think will all come together in a brilliant way! It’ll really feel the least Nashville part of Nashville and like it’s own city and definitely seem like the most “big city” part of Nashville IMO. It’s really excited though to see this incredibly large area all come together with redevelopment. It’ll be great to see this tie in with East Nash and the Dickerson Pike corridor when all is said and done.

FWIW: I'm very skeptical of the purported cost of upgrades to Nissan Stadium for Metro under the current lease and I expect the huge price tag we've seen is a foil to the new dome.

That being said, if the dome is approved and the surrounding area is built close to plan, I truly wish Metro would find a way to build another pedestrian bridge between Church Street (at First) across the the central "Green" mall area of the East Bank. I think that would tie the various nodes of DT together better than having just the Seigenthaler (which would serve the South of Broad population) and the various sidewalks along the sides of the Woodland and Memorial bridges for the North of Broad population.  So much will be concentrated on Church that it just makes sense. 

I think one of the challenges for a ped bridge at that location would be how high to make it because it would have to be as tall as the shortest existing bridge. So would that require a ramp from Second Avenue?  And how would that affect traffic on Church Street which should still be open to the Gay St. bypass.  BTW: That corner at Church/First is where I would like to see First Avenue closed with bollards most of the time. Cobblestones and/or paved paths for mobility and al fresco and food trucks during different months of the year.  Effectively, First Ave. would be blocked off with moveable bollards at First/Church and at First/Broadway.  It could be open during early hours of the day for deliveries et.al.

Feedback on the ped bridge and the limited access to First Avenue?

I think a lot of the timing of this had to do with the location of the Spine Rd to deal with the traffic flow. A lot of that was sort of up in the air. Brett & Freddie touched on that a little last Saturday and just said that all parties including CSX were at the table having meaningful conversations. I hold out hope for the CSX bridge issue to be resolved at some point. That will fix a lot of the problems with the Spine Road. Also, the grant being reapplied for, for the bridge study across the Cumberland will hopefully be approved this time.

This is right where "Capitol Crossings" is labeled here. Between the RR and Jefferson.

You can ride Davidson Street > Shelby Bottoms Greenway > Stones River Greenway > Percy Priest Dam. It's an excellent ride. I highly recommend giving it a try either by bike or e-bike on a nice day.

[smeagolsfree]

Actually, you can get to Cheatham Dam and Percy Priest Dam by bike as I have done it before not in one ride but in segments. There is a bike lane or path for all but a short distance if you are brave.

Yes.  I’ve done that ride many times.   The segment through Stones River Bend Park is incredible.

Same. Countless times. It’s a 31-mile round-trip ride from Germantown.

[smeagolsfree]

If you do the ride from Cheatham Dam to the Ted Rhodes Golf Course, it is about 27 miles. However, you do need a hybrid bike because the trail from the dam to the rail to trail in Ashland City is a dirt path. Ther is a bike lane most of the way and you have to be creative in a few areas and be careful going through the 2-lane portion of AC Hwy & down Clarksville Pike. I have not ridden in a while but when I did, I took River Trace Road instead of AC HWY to avoid the big hill. It is also a nice ride along the river.

So, if you add the 27 to the 31 plus the Cumberland River Greenway to Madsion let's say which is another 4 miles. that gets you to around 62-miles one way.

Such a great job with this one@Rlooper! The way you cut out the backgrounds in those perspective shots to show how the new dev will look with the current skyline looks incredible! Well done as always

Thanks and much appreciated.  My fingertips damn near fell off yesterday getting the footage lol;  I am really enjoying the evolution of the sliders personally.

I updated the map EB Map.  The correct version didn't upload properly for some reason.

Dear Stadium Inn people,
