From Post: $850K permit pulled for foundation work for VU Nursing school expansion... http://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/article/20976515/vanderbilt-nursing-school-project-progresses Looks like this will abut the Heard Library

Thanks. Thought I saw the equipment there early via the Newschannel 5 webcam. It's in my rotating screensaver <======== Dork

Did the groundbreaking happen today?

Because he's selling "city" townhouses on elevated ground, lending a view. Marketing 101. I hope that name doesn't stick. I like McKissack Park.

I was a bit ambivalent posting those links, as I tend to give little credence to those magazine lists. I seriously doubt anyone on any of those editorial staffs has been to the vast majority of the places they put on their lists. I really don't know much about Lebanon, nor Smyrna for that matter, even though I drive through on I-24 about 2-4 times per year. However, I think that really points to the radar that Nashville now finds itself on at most of those publications. This list is obviously comprised mostly of suburban cities. Time/Fortune is telling their readers that 4 "best cities" are suburbs of Nashville. Contrast that with how many other large Southern cities had as many (or ranked) as highly. So I didn't look at the list so much as an accurate depiction of whether Franklin is better than Concord NC, or even Lebanon for that matter. The fact that so many Nashville area towns were included on a national list is just one more confirmation that the whole metro area is recognized by such pop culture mags as an attractive area.

Looks so urban. The only thing it needs now is a crappy looking suburban style office building and a bland apartment building that can be used as a drive-in movie screen.

Time/Money mags list the 100 Best Places to live in the USA. http://time.com/money/collection/best-places-to-live-2017/ Franklin #4 http://time.com/money/collection/best-places-to-live-2017/4924110/franklin-tennessee/ Brentwood #21 http://time.com/money/collection/best-places-to-live-2017/4924336/brentwood-tennessee/ Smyrna #31 http://time.com/money/collection/best-places-to-live-2017/4932820/smyrna-tennessee/ Lebanon #34 http://time.com/money/collection/best-places-to-live-2017/4929070/lebanon-tennessee/

Leyland Cypress trees!

Concept reminds me of Waterside... yes, suburban. I know this... I am dead-set against subsidizing anything for this development... especially for another ballpark.

Just looked in on the WKRN cam from ASC. With the forthcoming crown of 3 (tall floors), put above the current top floor (with the balcony), I can't help being convinced that this one will be over 400'. I realize it's on a hill and can't be compared to B'stone. But looking at the Westin next door, I'd expect the JWM to be at least 80' taller. So who verified the 385' height for this one? And how accurate is the 320' for Westin? I do believe that one.

Looks like this one's ready to rise. Funding has been secured from Bank of the Ozarks. From NBJ via NP.... https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2017/09/12/bold-bank-finances-developers-high-rise-with-whole.html http://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/commercial-real-estate/article/20975482/notes-philly-firm-buys-sheds-on-charlotte

At least they used an uncommon photo of Nashville... oh wait! Nevermind.

I know! I know! There's no shortage of comments about this building. Overall it's a really big miss. But that street level looks quite promising. So as long as you don't look up, it's fine. (About to say something rarely said here) At least it's not taller.

Branson coming to Nashville on Wednesday for groundbreaking... http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2017/09/13/richard-branson-nashville-virgin-hotel-music-row/657732001/

I understand it was a 747-400 from Bahrain.
