This is a great project and we continue to beat to frigging death posts about Lake Palmer   Please can we move on.  

I think it's only fair to besmirch the name of Alex Palmer (founder of Lake Palmer) for an equal amount of years as he strung WES out. I'd say we have at least another 10 years left using back of the hand math.

Robert W. Baird Investments is signing a lease for 19,000 sq. ft. on the 11th floor of the Broadwest office tower, with an option for an additional 19,000 more right before the move-in date of early 2021.

This is the second signing along with Baker Donelson.

My apologies for the poor quality photo I shot on my way to work this morning but there appears to be a huge ground crane on site now (on left in photo). It was mentioned earlier in this thread that there would be 4 tower cranes and a large ground crane. This one might be that fifth crane.

^^I was thinking it was going to be over 400'...but 372' in that area is nice!

[OnePointEast]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the residential 406' to the top?

[DMilner]

Am I crazy, or is there no elevator shaft in the office tower?

Palmer got the shaft.

[Buildtall]

Is it possible that only half of the office tower is going up right now and the elevator shaft will be in the back half of the tower?

Most of Nashville's elevator/stair cores are made masonry or concrete. You can create the core out of shaft wall (layers of drywall). That may be happening here. Just a guess.

I believe @Baronakim actually was talking about this recently. Even though concrete or masonry is very common, it is quite economic to utilize shaft wall to attain the required shaft ratings for the cores. depending on the structural design, this is realistic if the core is not relied upon for shear forces. The amount concrete being used on site, it's interesting that they don't have a concrete core.

I looked at the drawings from the residential tower's shell permit, and it's 406' to the top of the mechanical screen. It's on the very first page of the pdf linked below.

Thanks brother!

Also, we're currently at the blue mark. I believe so, still quite a lot to go.
