If I’m interpreting it correctly, they just had their Final SP approved on 8/9/23. Fingers crossed this one moves soon! 

Correct. It appears to be approved with conditions (very typical). One of the conditions will be allocating $1.25 million for off-site improvements (priority by number).

1. A pathway along the eastern section of Centennial Park
2. West End at 25th Ave N intersection
3. West End at Natchez Trace intersection
4. West End at Louise Ave intersection
5. Elliston Place at 24th Ave N intersection

These improvements need to be completed prior to final certificate of occupancy is issued for the building.

The project team still need to present amended plans and elevations per the above conditions and others noted in the SP prior to any permits being issued (it appears these have  been summitted as of beginning of this month). They appear to be working through their Stormwater and Building permit as we speak (both have been applied for)

I get the need to improve traffic flow wherever developers are adding to traffic, but is this just for walkways? That crook in Elliston Place just east of 25th is rather narrow and can be nasty at rush hour. Is that something that's been looked into for improving flow, including a turn lane, signalling, and possibly aligning a crosswalk across both West End and Elliston Place?  However I don't understand why the Louise/West End intersection is included here, especially with 23rd Avenue not included.

The word is they may be concentrating on the Beaman site first instead of anything else.

Edit: Here are the improvements as described in the SP. The way the items are listed are the priority in which they are to be completed. Adjustments will be allowed to ensure the budget of 1.25 million are met.

1. A pathway along the eastern section of Centennial Park - unsure still
2. West End at 25th Ave N intersection - coordinate geometric design of intersection (see image below)
3. West End at Natchez Trace intersection - unsure still
4. West End at Louise Ave intersection - enhanced pedestrian crossing
5. Elliston Place at 24th Ave N intersection - final striping on Elliston Place to ensure adequate lane width (whatever this means?)

So , does this suggest that we might be getting some news and insight on what they are planning for the long awaited Beaman site?

Looks like they’re reducing the height.

That’s a bummer. I would think that residential on the edge of a big park like Centennial would be a slam dunk. I lived next to a big park in a prior city and the quality of life bump was huge.

The number of floors is unchanged. They cut the down the ornamental top of the building.

The reduction came almost a year ago.

Something I did just notice in the SP documents is that Short Term Rentals - both Owner Occupied and Non-Owner Occupied - will be permitted in the building.

Also, there is also NO 13th floor.

There IS a 13th floor (they just label it as 14)

LOL, Correct. The SP documents also say the Amenity is on level 28 while still saying the tower is 27 stories, so presumably they just skipped 13 and continued labelling in sequence.

Final site plan approval is being sought which includes updated renderings, the future tower now is designed to rise about 310 feet, approximately 60 feet lower than had been eyed. The number of units as previously planned was 334 and is now, according to a new document filed with the Metro Planning Department, 336.  It will also include 22,500 square feet (originally planned for 31,500 square feet) of ground-level restaurant and retail space.

It is unclear if GBT will go before the Metro Planning Commission for final site plan approval or if the process can be done administratively via the Metro Planning Department staff.

Still looks great, and is a vastly improved product than what was previously there . Good to see that some projects are still moving forward, this will be a big plus.

Agreed completely.  I was wrong to assume that they were just lopping off the incline at the top.  Still looks great!

It’s great that this building will be built. It sucks that it will be an Airbnb. Housing would have been great here!

The post said that short term rentals were permitted, not that it would be exclusively AirBnB.

The commercial housing market is collapsing. They see it. Which is why they are short term tourist housing.

So does the revised design still include a stair-stepped top or no?  Old one below...

Any updates on starting construction?  Just checking because I'm going to be really upset if that cleared lot stays there for an indefinite period of time.  They started demolition on existing buildings in November of 2022.  I wish there was some better way to coordinate all components of approvals, permitting, site clearing, etc. so that lots aren't cleared months or worse years prior to actual start of construction.  These vacate lots become eyesores with the fencing and temporary signage that isn't maintained well after they go up.
