The description...

 

"This 1 million square foot mixed-use development encompasses 2.7 acres at the periphery of downtown Nashville. Phase I will include a 290,000 square foot, 20-story office building with retail uses at the ground level and structured parking above- and below-grade. Phase II will add a 260,000 square foot, 250-room hotel and a 170,000 square foot, 75-unit condo tower to the site. Phase III will add 290,000 square feet of residential in a 25-story, 245-unit tower. The complex topography, neighboring buildings and adjacent infrastructure all influenced the master planning and architecture of the project, along with Nashville’s form-based code.  "

I'm guessing the hotel / condo tower is the taller tower that looks to be at least 30 stories.

The Nelsen project looks to be the Demonbreun Hill parcels. If you will note the project is on the other side of the Interstate, and on the west side of Demonbreun. The light shadowed in building in one of the rendering suggest that there is a tower at the Deja Vu site that Hensler is planning a tower.

What I love is that there are still guitars on the south side of the project.  haha.  We just can't get away from it.  Really love the renderings though.  Absolutely great for that site. Hopefully we'll hear something more official soon.

That's what I thought at first too, Smeags. But I don't think that's the Interstate, but the railroad where Kayne yards used to be. If you look at one of the photos, it shows what appears to be the off-ramp from I-40 at the bottom and the proposed Endeavor tower at left side.  Another rendering shows a tower where the Mazda dealership sat, which would be Endeavor.

It's really hard to say, but looks to definitely on Demonbreun. It could be the Hensler/Cadin property. Bob could very well be correct.

Discussion at the meet is that it is the Deja Vu site. 

Will be interesting to see if we can set all of these multi acre projects done.

Yes!  This...Lifeway...Tennessean...and 5th & Broadway.  Each one could leave its mark on the skyline....but together...will totally change the skyline.

Interesting they used the name of a prominent law firm on one of the buildings. I'd be curious of that's actually a thing or just filler or coincidence.

At this point I would be thrilled with just 1 or 2 getting going. I don't think all will happen.

Ha.  I hadn't noticed that.   You'd think I might.   

Just a filler I'd say.

WOW...what a difference a decade makes!  Looking at that picture, it kind of makes sense as to why Hampton Inn decided to build so small.  At the time, that is what was appropriate relative to it's surroundings!  I'm not sure anyone could have guessed that in just a couple years after that SoBro would transform into a bonafide highrise district!

There are too many projects going on in Nashville for someone like me who doesn't live in Nashville to keep up with.  I was looking at Austin architect Nelsen Partners' website for an Austin project, and came across this multi-tower Nashville project.  Is this a real or even an already built project?  The renderings look cool.

Great find. There is so much going on here and so much under the radar, that no one person can have a handle on what's happening. I do know that the Nashville UP forum has been a thorn in the side of so many developers because we are like a giant news organization that digs in different areas and find things the developers just do not want us to find, either because of their own stupidity or that they just do not word want a project to get out.

The one thing that never ceases to amaze me is the fact that some of these developers going kicking and screaming to the news media because word is out because of a PUBLIC document they filed. These guys just do not get it.

What's awesome is that someone in Austin, TX broke the news on this one.  We have spies everywhere.

Just updating the current status of the skyline-changing view...(notice JWM not far from becoming noticeable)

 

[BnaBreaker]

I'm quite pleasantly surprised by how much of an impact Cambria Suites is making on the skyline for a twenty story hotel.  It really slots very nicely into that gap in the skyline from this angle.

Agree, however The Cambria could soon be blocked by the two hotels (I believe a Marriott Brand) proposed in front. Any update on that? I thought the small 4 story building next to The Cambria was about to be demolished?

The hotel built right next to Cambria will be the Embassy Suites and Curio Hotel combo.

For some of you who know way more about this than I ever will...do these public project documents from Skanska reveal any new info?

I've noticed something similar in Austin at SSP - where the  Austin nerds hang out.  New projects are discovered from public records searches, i.e. building permits, city meeting agendas, etc. and posted online.  Then sometimes within a day or two local development blogs pick it up followed by local mainstream media shortly after that.

Thanks for posting this. I lost my link somehow when I got a new desktop. A valuable under the table resource I used a lot when there was something there.
