Eh I don't really think this affects the project at all. This is David Chase grasping at straws trying to reclaim his life in a bizarre way. My interpretation is that his family has cut him off and he is trying to blame that on one incident, when quite clearly it is a pattern of behavior that caused that.

 

If the project still makes economic sense it will happen.

Been following Urban Planet for awhile now but this is my first time ever diving in an actually posting. My wife and I just moved into SkyHouse and I snapped this photo from the amenities deck on floo

Too bad this has to tarnish an exciting project like this.

Haven't heard much on this project since they released renders earlier in the year.  Gonna be ticked if this one doesn't get out of the ground.

...and as reiterated by the chorus: Virtigo and Nashville Cliff, among other vocals...

I'll join the picket line!

I normally do not have agreement with Historic Nashville, but in this case I may be. I was not very upset about the buildings coming down for Skyhouse as they were in disrepair, but the homes razed for this project were immaculate and functional. Just with the Corinthian Lodge that was razed for an 86 foot hole off West End, this will be a criminal act IMHO if this is left as barren and the Virgin does not happen.

Seems odd to me that they can't line up enough investors…Nashville's tourism and convention biz is BOOMING and a high-end, trendy, fun, music-biz-centric hotel like this in a prime location like that would seem to be a slam dunk. If I had the resources, I would certainly back it.  I still think it's going to happen.

I sure am glad they razed that antebellum mansion overnight the day after they closed on the property--otherwise we wouldn't have that beautiful, empty, temp-fenced, overgrown lot to stare at for the last two years.

That's the part of Nashville that really ticks me off.  They allow developers to purchase land and tear down structures like an antebellum home or the beautiful structure that was on Alex Palmer's land before these guys even have proof of financing.  It really should be handled differently.

This pisses me off beyond words.    Some of these cowboys want to play in the big leagues but have neither the experience or financial ability to do so.   The city suffers as a result.    This site was always a questionable (some would say poor) location for a full service hotel.   Chase should be made to pay restitution for the loss of the mansion and 60 yr old oaks.

I try and not get upset anymore. Many of the projects that have been announced, rumored, proposed, just do not see the light of day. I wil say it is a super prime spot and something will be built there sooner rather than later I believe. I really didn't like the Virgin design and am not sad that that iteration will not happen.

 

I think condos or apartments, or maybe a true mixed use project with retail, office, and residential space, would do very well there.

This is certainly disappointing. It would have been amazing for Nashville to have pulled off one of the first Virgin Hotels. Hopefully something else will swiftly materialize on the site. I agree that we're seeing the loss of entirely too many historic structures for projects that either do not materialize or are of less significance than what they replace.
