The crane base is in place for Parallon, so that should be rising soon.

Sky house has not started. You are probably thinking Cadence.

[CenterHill]

i'm sure there will be a crane for the Paramount garage before year end.  

[timmay143]

I think we should keep a crane tally while this boom is still happening:

1 Sobro

2 roundabout highrise (can never remember the name)

2 Aertson

1 Eakin

1 sesac

1 new vandy bldg

1 cadence

Let me know if I left anything out.

Before the end of 2015:

Bridgestone

Westin

Thompson

Edit: fixed skyhouse to cadence

Element

[NashvilleTaylor]

I am updating it because I noticed two cranes near the ballpark and I'll go ahead and add Parallon too.  I organized them by area:

 

12 total.  I could've sworn there used to be more (wasn't somebody's count 17 in a photo earlier in this thread?), but maybe that's because certain buildings have been completed like 12/12, Gulch Crossing, the building next to element and the HGI on KVB.

 

Downtown:
1 Sobro

 

The Gulch:

1 Eakin

 

Midtown/Music Row
2 Element
2 Aertson
1 sesac
1 new vandy bldg
1 cadence

 

North Gulch/Capitol district:

 

2 near ballpark

1 Parallon

Some people count sheep when they can't sleep…I count construction projects.  Working off the sheets I keep for current and proposed projects, I believe there will be 83 new sites just within the inner belt ring in the next 5 years, and at least 60 of them will have cranes.  Add in another 16 new sites (each with cranes) in mid-town, and…well, it kinda boggles the mind how our skyline will be peppered with so many cranes as well as new structures in this next half decade. Of course, there could be even more that are announced in in the next few years that aren't even part of this vision yet.  Other than Austin, is there any place that comes even close in North America?

"Working off the sheets...", eh?

 

I just hope that they don't get slobbered all over, when you pass out, before you get to "publish" those projects to feed us animals in this farm.

The only places I can think of are all metros bigger than us. Not counting New York: Miami-FTL-WPB, DFW Metroplex, Houston, Seattle, & San Francisco. When you take into account in a relatively close proximity distance, I can only see Miami (city of), San Francisco, Seattle, & Austin. It's pretty remarkable.

I count cranes in my sleep.

Vanderbilt Engineering and Science Building construction cam...  http://webcams.vanderbilt.edu/newolin/

Nice shot... that same photo could have anywhere from 4-5 more cranes in just a few months... Bridgestone... Westin. It would also be in view of the Virgin... and M Residences tower (just to the right of Adelicia). Is that the only crane SoBro will be needing?  And I know I read here that Aertson will be getting a second one. 

 

 

very correct, this is updated as of yesterday. taken from the same location. 

I took a much wider shot so it is not as detailed but it fits everything from HCA at NWM site to SESAC

this time instead of boxes, I enlarged the areas of the cranes.  there are now 11 plus a bonus.  also, Gulch crossings has been taken down.

The white one labeled "don't know" is for Cadence behind Roundabout Plaza.

[Paramount747]

I used a view from the upgraded Google Earth to do a massing diagram of SoBro near 1st.

 

Very Cool Pete!!!

That will be a canyon along Demonbreun street!!!

[NashvilleTaylor]

Methinks once those are constructed, market street apartments will soon be no more.

Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Charlotte,  are still strong as well. As in Nashville size cities? Zero.

Hey, long time "lurker" here. I've never posted because I've never had much to add to the discussion. But, I figure I'd share some pictures from my bcycle ride throughout the city this weekend. Hope you all enjoy!

 

Ascend Amphitheater

 

Gulch Crossings

 

Thompson Hotel site (I believe)

 

HCA/ Capitol View site

 

Paramount site

 

Bridgestone site

 

Sobro crane

 

My two favorite highrises

 

Some Panoramas I took

 

 

[MetroTN]

Great pics! Thanks for sharing them!

[smeagolsfree]

Great to have you on the forum. Looking forward to more pics and post.

Fell free to join us for a forum meet too.

A big welcome to 21 jump. Once a lurker and No longer a lurker.

[21jump]

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to try to make a meet this summer.

[nashvillwill]

Downtown during CMA fest.

Amphitheater;

Thats a lot of plants waiting to be put into the ground!

[titanhog]

Great photos!  I'm still scratching my head on why they decided to have such a huge "grassy" area behind the amphitheater when they could have positioned the amp another couple hundred feet north with a smaller grassy area to allow for larger crowds.  (yes...I'm beating that dead horse again).

Agreed, especially since the amphitheater itself kind of physically cuts that grassy area off from the rest of the park.  I'm afraid it'll become somewhat of a deadzone.

[volsfanwill]

I bet it will be heavily used for pick-nicks and sunning for downtown residents.  and during concerts I bet it will attract crowds that can hear the music for free but cant see the band.

[MidTenn1]

Regarding the grassy area, it's supposedly big enough for soccer games. That was part of the original plan.

A soccer field doesn't seem like the best use of that land.  I mean, I understand it's a green area / park...but it still seems like they had council members who kept splitting a vote and couldn't decide on an amphitheater or a park / soccer field...so they just cut the land in half and did both.

[NashRugger]

It'd be better as a rugby pitch, I'm just sayin'.
