From Wednesday afternoon, the work continues on the second level of the new YMCA.

Friday afternoon, they're going up higher on the YMCA columns and continuing work on the second level

I'm trying to play catchup. So they haven't started on the actual tower yet?

Lots of prep work on the ground, but no formal work as of yet.

This is by no mean an informed statement, but could it be possible that they top out the YMCA structure and just move the tower crane over? Someone who looks at the FAA encroachments may have a better understanding, but with the YMCA only being as tall as the tower's podium, it could be possible that we don't see the tower crane for tower until after the YMCA's crane comes down. FAA may only state that their will be two encroachments at the site, it may not list if they are concurrent to one another though.

Tony said there would be a second tower crane for the 1010 building. I am not sure about timelines, but I am going to go with Tony on this one unless the timeline has changed. The time it would take for the Y to top out would put 1010 considerably on hold considering where they are right now.

I have not looked at the FAA encroachments in a good while and not even sure if I remember how to even get back to that site. Right now, it will not be an issue as the crane will not rise enough to matter. I think we all know how we feel about the FAA in Nashville, and they need to go and stick a big crane where the sun does not shine and remove the stupid regulations.

From Wednesday afternoon, the work continues on the second level of the YMCA.  I'm not sure what they're working on in photos 3 and 4 but I suspect it's the YMCA portion as well.

Here's a few from Tuesday afternoon, making good progress on the YMCA portion but nothing happening on the tower so far.

[MontanaGuy]

From Friday afternoon, work continues on the YMCA area.  On the second to last photo they've once again dug out another hole at the other end of the site where previous holes had been dug and then refilled, I have no idea why.

Ready to see this thing start rising!  Lets go Tony!!!!

From Monday afternoon, work continues on the new YMCA and they're digging that hole at the other end of the site a little bit bigger today.

That last picture is telling…. Things are getting ready to happen at that site.

Do I see a yellow crane base poking out of that center hole? 

[smeagolsfree]

Hard to tell for sure, but sort of what it looked like to me. 

[Bos2Nash]

I'll be that jackass to burst the bubble, but that appears to be some fall protection of sorts.

[Luvemtall]

I’ll be nice and not use any harsh words, but yep you burst any sense of hope! 

[MontanaGuy]

From Thursday afternoon, the YMCA will soon be at street level.  It looks like they're shaping rebar into columns on the last several photos.  The weather's really going to get nasty in the days ahead so I'm glad I got a few more photos, today was beautiful.

I talked to the manager at the Y the other night when I was there. She was telling me that they are assured that the new portion will be open sometime in September. I told her I was afraid they were behind on their timeline. She said they WERE set back a little when they dug too far down and then hit the building. It happened around 8:30 during the week when they were open. The only way into the Y right now is through the garage. You take the elevators to the second floor and it dumps you into a lobby with a desk. There used to be a cabinet running along the outside wall (next to the construction). She said that when they hit the wall the coffee went flying and there was a huge crack in the wall (I had wondered what happened to the coffee). She said they have been making up time though and they for sure will open in September. Just thought I would pass that along.

Wow, didn’t realize that happened.   Someone’s insurance will have to pay for that.  

I don’t see any scenario that has the new portion opening in September.    Maybe Sept. ‘25.

After pondering about this a bit, the Y portion being only 7 stories should top out by the end of March -early April ish. If they go with the exposed industrial look as most gyms do, build out shouldn’t really take that long. I’m not sure September of this year, but it can be possible by the end of year.
