There is another condo building going up in the Music Row area. The lot where Bobby's Idle Hour was close to 16th and Grand is being prepared now. This started about 2 weeks ago.

[ATLBrain]

Does it have a crane?

[smeagolsfree]

No crane. This is a smaller lot and I do not have any idea how large this development is going to be.

[splash]

Crane is up at 5th and Main!!

[smeagolsfree]

Glad to see that one up. I figured it was about time for it to go up. Dave says its a good sized crane as well.

[chris holman]

The crane is almost up at Vanderbilt Hospital for the 11 or 12 story expansion they had planned there.

Don't forget the Adelicia and 1811 18th. I think there are a couple more than you have down that are up for Vandy. Also one at the East Nashville Community Center.

There is also the crane at East End Lofts.

A second crane is now up at 5th and Main.

Some drive-by shootings....of the digital kind.

First, The 11 Story West End Condos


Looking up West End toward the aptly named West End Condos


It will look like this...


Vanderbilt is supposedly spending 1.5 Billion on construction. It buys a lot of cranes.


The Bristol West End near Vandy had a tower crane, but is approaching completion.


Downtown, we have the 13 story, 200' Sun Trust Building

he Final product...


In Sobro, The Hampton Inn will look good. No renderings are available.


Also, in SoBro, the Encore going up at the butt-end of the Symphony.


Should look like this..


In the Gulch, we present, The Icon


Will fit in well.


Now, one of my favorites, The 18 story Adelicea.


The Adelicea will address the street and complement the neighborhood so well, I think.


The rendering doesn't do it justice.


Finally, no 5th and Main picture, but it will look good. Might be the best looking of all the current projects.


So there's your crane pictures!!

[smeagolsfree]

Thanks for all the work. I have wanted to do the same thing but have been too busy. Now I dont have to do it. GREAT job and well done.

Also another crane in Metro Center at a State office building and several more in Green Hills and Franklin.

[ATLBrain]

Now that's what I'm talking about!!  Thank-ye, Thank-ye, Thank-ye as Gomer Pyle would say.  Great photos, especially for those of us who don't see Nashville often.  It's also amazing to me how much the gulch is starting to look like a part of DT.

I'm imagining the photo of the Encore with Signature, Westin and BBS towers built in there.  That will be truly dense from that angle.

[Nashvillain]

Yay pictures, whoo-hoo!!!  AWEsome!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, PhofKs. You da man plus a bowl of chili with fritos.  I've been dying for some on the street investigative reportage and voila, you deliver with flying colors.  This thread, the whole Nashville forum has been deader than doorman's poetry career. Only Hankster provided any summary from the recent forum meet, which sounded like it had many in attendence; no pictures, no excitement, nada, zilch, cero, blagh.

I think i'm going to avoid downtown Nashville for the next two or three years until most of these projects are completed and will be suitably blown away upon returning.  Heartfelt thanks, PHofKS.

P.S. Vandy is BAWLIN.'

Wonderful post, PH of Kingston Springs.  By the way, when will they be beginning construction of your 10 story (I beleive) highrise in your fair town?

Actually, the condos will be in Ashland City, 15 miles to the north of Kingston Springs, but still in Cheatham County.  They are called the Braxton.

Just off the top of my head, I recall the latest report said over 70% of the units had been sold. So it looks good to go.

BTW, the construction cam seems to show a tower crane (it's too dark to tell). I'll have to check it out.

Does anybody know the status of the Cumberland Shores Marina Condos off Lebanon Road?  I would think that that project would need at least a smaller crane.  Buildings are 4-6 stories, but lots of docks to be built.

I dont think anything has been done with this yet as far as construction. I may be wrong. This is one of the projects I have my doubts about. I hope that is wrong but the condos in Ashland City may have taken some wind out of these.

There tearing down some old buildings right across the street from the Hampton Inn&Suites in So Bo. But the buildings not in the way of the Gateway Bridge expansion, so is there another project in the works in the area?

[ATLBrain]

^^^ Across what street?  Gateway or 4th?  The property across 4th was recently bought by Tower Investments and is part of the site of the proposed convention center.  It runs roughly along the proposed extension of Gateway to 8th.

I think a church is across Gateway from the Hampton.  I think that's staying.
