The SoBro | 32 stories 345 ft | 3rd & Demonbreun

[Paramount747]

Well, because we are not their clients, and their clients don't judge a building by a website. Don't worry, i'm sure there are lots of updated plans behind closed doors. Breath in, breath out.

I just miss the day when we had signage and regular web updates. I'm cool, back to my cave now....

LOL, cracking me up John!  Anyways, I wonder if after the "crash" and especially after Palmer's WES fiasco if developers are just much more conservative.  Regardless, I feel your frustration!

[Paramount747]

I am still hoping for March 1st.

I think this cold winter has given you cabin fever, John. You need some fresh air. See you this Saturday?

[NashRugger]

I'm not sure how much this matters but while passing by the site today, I couldn't help but notice dozens and dozens of spray painted markings for utilities and underground lines on roads and sidewalk around the site, especially 2nd & Demonbreun. I'm betting something is up behind the scenes and we may see some movement soon.

I remain optimistic about SoBro. The next few weeks might be key.

[nashvylle]

Im pessimistic, hoping for the best.

Heck, John, you have Tony's email address. Just drop him a line. You guys have talked and emailed before. He always shoots straight with you.

Not going to email him! He may have read some doubts on this forum!  LOL!  Seriously, WW had planned on talking to him this week.

The SoBro apartments will start soon enough. McHugh (Magellan's preferred contractor) is looking for a construction office to be located south of Broadway.

Thanks for posting Austin. Welcome to the forum. Feel free to join us at any of the meets. Info on the forum meet thread.

 

BTW, Great first post.

[Paramount747]

Great news. Maybe the construction trailer can sit in front of that horrid convenience store that opened up in the old engineering building!

Are the construction trailers now under the Demonbreun ped walkway on 2nd for this project?

Those are for the Amphitheater project.

Okay, do we know officially what rendering is the final one? Has it been updated in the past few weeks? Do we start a countdown clock? Do we expect some sort of coming soon signage? It's been 2 1/2 years. Time to get this out of the ground and build this 400 foot beast to greatly improve our skyline! Enough with this 100-280 foot infill!  (Hensler Tower 270, Omni, 280) We need a 400 footer!  I know this is only 395 feet, but its close. Enough of the infill! It's time to go up!!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

I thought anything under a 500-footer is a shorty to you, John ?

Anything under 700 ft is short. But 400 is a nice midrise.

[Paramount747]

Seems to be a matter of days. 33 Stories should put it over 400 feet.

What is Class A retail space? specifically what does the Class A part mean?

[smeagolsfree]

This is part of what I know but not all of it. I was the one that saw a certain person on site today with the NES people. This is looking like a start very soon.

I don't know what Class A retail space is, but I did find this definition of Class A office space:

• Class A. These buildings represent the highest quality buildings in their market. They are generally the best looking buildings with the best construction, and possess high quality building infrastructure. Class A buildings also are well-located, have good access, and are professionally managed. As a result of this, they attract the highest quality tenants and also command the highest rents.

I found that on this site. It also explains Class B and C spaces.

http://www.squarefeetblog.com/commercial-real-estate-blog/2008/07/06/a-guide-to-office-building-classifications-class-a-class-b-class-c/

 

It doesn't look like the types of materials or the square footage matter. Basically a Class A building is the newest and shiniest.
