Nashville Bits and Pieces

[FrankNash]

 Skyscraperpage.com has a rendering of a tower named KVB & 6th. It looks to be about 30 floors.

[donNdonelson2]

This is the KVB & 6th render. Noted as residential and status as "on the boards."

[titanhog]

PLEASE let that happen! ^^

What's "on the boards" mean?

Btw...THAT'S how you do a box.

This render from hpaurban.com

i assume that on the boards means that it is just on the drawing boards for now. But you know what happens when you "assume."

info indicates a little above 200 units in the building

Yes...I would assume it's another one of those "dream" buildings we all find online with no information...that always looks better than anything currently in our skyline...which means it's definitely a dream.

This is part of Humphreys architecture. This could have legs, but not sure yet.

The property is owned by Mitch Patel. He is a Cornell U. graduate with a lot of vision.

[MLBrumby]

Good one, Smeags. His firm is called Vision, right?  He is a Chattanoogan, who has developed many hotels.

Just spoke to WW and he is on it. He was leaving a message while I was on hold. I love this! This is what I am talking about what you can do with glass and it not be a box.

They did the proposal for Tony's apartment tower on Church that is now 7-8 stories, the palm trees proposal.

Yes, and also The Melrose and I believe one other in Berry Hill. It may be the Lenar project.

This is a different company and a different Mitch. His company is Platinum.

This is a dated rendering and nothing looming.  That's all I can say.

Oh well.   Sure is a nice design, though.

[dmillsphoto]

Wasn't boxy enough.

[BnaBreaker]

SMITH!  What the hell were you thinking trotting out this creative and attractive design for Nashville, when everyone knows you can just give them a 1986 style box for half the cost and they won't say a word about it!?  Smith, you have until noon to pack your things.  You'll get a full severance package.

I wonder whatever happened to the Canopy Hotel project on KVB that Northpoint was involved with? I know they have the Tri-brand Marriott proposal, but did that kill he Canopy?

I have not heard anything more. As a matter of fact I just took it off my project list.

[Paramount747]

Might as well remove the Cambria hotel as well. 

[smeagolsfree]

According to the Cambria website, they are not going to open till 2018, so it probably will not start till late next year or early the following year.

I'm currently at the "Barcade" in Cincinatti. This place is amazing and I can only pray we get one. 

[tragenvol]

I see what you did there....touché.  I invite you to the barcade in Cookeville for Thursday night trivia, not amazing.....but worth the time invested for sometimes a show within a show.

Do you want to elaborate?

PSC metals yard has been open for 50 years, maybe that should be considered historic and added to the endangered list.
