Did you shoot that through a peephole in the fencing? ^^

 

Cool shot.

[evansnathan]

haha.. nope. blind shot with a wide-angle lense, holding it above the fence, dodging traffic. Anything for this site 

 

also.. notice the bustling progress of "the diner" on the left..

It's it me or does it seem like sobro is taking forever to start rising.

Considering they broke ground in August, it seems they have done well, however, they hit the water table and had to pump out a lot of water, and they had time involved working with such an odd shape lot. They also had to shore up the area where the 6 story diner is going. There have been some challenges.

Yeah...I would imagine building next to that "half-a-brick-wall" diner is like building next to a house of cards.  One wrong move and it tumbles to the ground.

[chris holman]

o yeah, plus the delay with the diner itself

Maybe SoBro will rise fast enough that there won't be enough clearance between the two to even bother completing that brick wall. A permanently unfinished brick wall would be appropriate for this project, given its recent history.

Wow, farm_boy!  You actually do get into the city now and then, don't you?  When you do come in, you come with a vengeance!  keep up the great work!

As of yesterday, the ramp is gone and barrier wall is up all around the site. I think they are waiting on the vertical permit. Technically they are above the street now.

Can we get some visuals of the site, please?

[volsfanwill]

Can we get some visuals of the site, please?

maybe some taken from an office in the AT&T building?

[Paramount747]

Never found the construction camera on line. It's not Oxblue like Tony used for Viridian.

[Paramount747]

I hear this building will be open summer 2017. Three years from when they started in August 2014. There have been so many challenges and delays due to many factors.

[chris holman]

Looking forward to see this one rise

Since I'm not in the area to check it out in person, can someone tell me if it's close to going vertical?

It's still below 3rd Ave street-level

[Paramount747]

Waiting on vertical permit I would guess, plus still pumping out lots of ground water. This started in August, and Tony still has not erected a rendering on the site.

My computer oddly sent me to a Photobucket site where someone is storing photos of Nashville development renderings and plans. If it is someone on this board, forgive me but I had to share one of them.

 

 

If you are on this forum, perhaps you could explain the two renderings of the two 40+ story hotels.

[TNinVB]

^^^^can you share the photos that you speak of?

"Temptation Blvd"?

In a way, I'm glad they're not my mine, or I'd have way too much explaining to do.  I'd be bombarded with questions like hornets on a pesky squirrel.

 

Just bear in mind that with many other online image/video content-storing sites, in particular with Photobucket, the "Content Privacy" config. probably is set (as a default) to allow others to copy, download and/or print a member's photos and videos.  If indeed there is a matter of intellectual rights for downloaded or shared material, the initiating member should qualify the specific item as such.  Even without such conditions of usage, I can understand your concern, since we do want to remain as ethical as possible, and at least give acknowledgement where credit is due.  Like seeing a cooling-off apple pie on someone's window sill (or a chess pie, down these parts), but if no one answers the door (to at least let you suck up for a piece), then what do you do?  Just pretend it's not there?

That's probably my profile, and the two hotels are the OMNI in Louisville and the Fairmont in Austin.

Vertical permit issued. Per JR:

 

James McHugh Construction is the general contractor on a $23.7 million permit to build the first 10 (of an ultimate 32) floors at 205 Demonbreun, the project of WMG Realty Holding — a venture including Wanxiang America Real Estate Group, Magellan Development and Nashville-based Giarratana Development.

Slightly off topic, but how screwed is Encore between SoBro Apts and Bridgestone HQ?

 

Are most residents going to have mostly obstructed views soon? Their pool seems like it will see little sunlight.
