One Beale

[mempho]

Is there anyone here who has the know how to add ONe Beale to skyscraperpage.com? LIke I"ve said, I'm not that technical, so I really couldn't do it. Here's the link. skyscraper page

I really want to see St. Mary's tower resurrected (pardon the pun).

[DoctorGonzo]

Same here. The one thing I liked about the project was that it was supposed to be built to LEED standards, and would've been Memphis' first self-sustainable green skyscraper.

Will the current down turn in the market keep this from happening? Meaning, is it possible that the prospective buyers would back out?

[Rural King]

^ I think the short answer is that we will just have to wait and see.

One Beale's market segments will be individuals/families with higher than norm incomes for the most part, thus they may be more able and willing to invest in uncertian economic times. It's a very high profile project for the city and it should/is garnering a lot of attention, so that bodes well for it. However, at the end of the day it may take longer for the building to pre-sale enough units to get built than would have been just a year ago.

I think we should be bullish on it getting built, but willing to give it time to come to fruition.

[mempho]

How many total units does it have between both towers? How many have been sold? And will both towers be built at the same time now?

Good!

Given the poor real estate market, and the number of downtown Memphis projects which have gone kaput as a result, I really think this thing will get off the ground.

I certainly hope so too! On another note, it's nice to finally see a crane above the skyline downtown for the Horizon project!

yeah same here I work out East now so I don't have the opportunity to get down there much. If anyone does work or live downtown, a good vantage point would be from Tom Lee Park, which was where I was standing when I noticed the crane.

[mempho]

The schedule called for construction to begin at the end of 2007. Anybody here anything? Is it starting yet?

[Memphis Love]

are you talking about one Beale or the Horizon project? The Horizon project has mounds of dirt and a crane up, One Beale sadly has not begun any work.

Does anyone have any photoshopped photos of what downtown will look like coming from Arkansas with One Beale and The Horizon once they are complete?

[ponderjb]

Any update on the estimated groundbreaking date?

[ponderjb]

Its the new year....One Beale groundbreaking should be just around the corner!

[highriser]

Any ground breaking yet??

[ponderjb]

It looks like it hasn't got going just yet. No dirt is moving as of yesterday.

This is very interesting, has Carlisle secured all of the funds and contracts for sale that he needs to get this thing going? Or is One Beale in the same boat as West End and Siggy in Nashville?

[memp600]

Memphis' planned One Beale project is likely in the same boat as Nashville's Signature Tower.....indefinitely delayed until the national economy turns around....maybe 18 months or more, at least.

In spite of the economic doom and gloom, the two towers of Nashville's West End Summit project are likely to begin construction this year, but the 70-story Signature Tower is just too large a project to risk. The 29-story "Pinnacle at Symphony Place" (aka Crown Bldg.) is now well under construction in downtown Nashville with a planned opening set for January 2010.

Today's TENNESSEAN has a front page story about the 1,000 new condos in six new towers that coming onto the Nashville market in 2008. The article is entitled "1,000 new condos will test appetite for urban living."

Is this actual news from the developer or just a hypathetical hunch?
