[smeagolsfree]

Well Pete, you have to update your building pic.

I don't hate it.  But the one on the right looks like what would happen if the Pinnacle building and Bridgestone building had a big baby.  I hope this doesn't sit for years before they get moving.  This will definitely extend the Nashville skyline in a great way.  

[MLBrumby]

Sure beats what's there now! And for all the folks who've complained about "boxy"... well, it's not boxy. 

Having said that, I can't help thinking this drawing is a placemarker (I just don't recognize that streetscape) and for the concept only. Sichko's article sounds like there's still a lot of variation in the final design (which sounds tentative).

Is the office building facing downtown? If so, I would think the residential building should face downtown as people would pay top money for that view. 

[MLBrumby]

Hard to tell, but I believe the residential/hotel tower is set back from West End and there is a slight bend in the street to the north. So the office building would hug the corner of 16th & WE/Broadway; that would reserve a lot of the view for the northeastern section of the residential/hotel. And I'd guess that prospective office tenants would pay an even greater premium for a downtown view. Let's not forget that the Midtown skyline is coming along nicely with 7 new towers u/c and more on the way. And (IDK) maybe residents prefer the sunset views to sunrise with all that glass. So personally, I wouldn't mind a west-facing unit. 

Also, these renderings appear to be somewhere around 360' tall. So that would make them about 70' taller than the nearby SkyHouse. 

AMENDING MY POST: Story in OL Tennessean says that perspective is from 16th and Hayes Street. I'm dubious, as the property would be to the right of 16th from that perspective (unless it's looking westward, which I still doubt). https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2018/06/27/west-end-summit-broadwest-rendering-name/739184002/

Um.......hell to the yes. This looks outstanding. 

[Binbin98]

Chris brown is now a musician and developer?!

but in all seriousness this looks like a great replacement, I’m hoping intercontinental sees this and adds to this in some way, having an intercontinental in Nashville would be really good for the city. That and the proposed W hotel and rumored four seasons in the 2nd avenue project would be really good luxury hotel additions to our city. I would also hope to see a fairmont or ritz Carlton in the future but I won’t hold my breath

[Pdt2f]

This could spur a lot of development on this side of broadway, too. The other side is coming along nicely but there are way too many random fast food places and surface lots between west end and Charlotte isn’t bid area. 

[BnaBreaker]

Looks good!  It's great to see something else proposed for that land FINALLY... however... here comes my inner negative nancy... I can't help but think that this is being proposed just in time to be once again delayed indefinitely by the next recession.  

[e-dub]

What intersection is in that photo? It looks like all three lanes are HOV lanes, lol.

I think the Tennessean is wrong about the intersection. Still think it's 16th/Broadway (Beaman Toyota to right) looking to northwest. 

[Skyscrapergeek]

Agreed ML.  The Tennessean also states that both towers are about 20 stories.   Really?  They are??  Could they maybe take 10 seconds to count the stories on the residential tower?  If you can’t accurately report what’s in front of face why should I assume anything else is correct?  Ok, I done.   Anyway, I love this!  Especially considering how long we’ve been waiting.

It looks to me like it is the 16th and Hayes intersection and the office building is on Hayes and the condo/hotel is on Broadway. The view is looking West.

This also, explains the surface parking lot east of 16th .... currently there.

According the  the rendering, the apartment tower appears to be at least 36 stories, and the office building is 22.

Wow, if it weren't for the presence of Capital View in the above photo I'd probably assume that was taken in 1999 or something.  That corner of town is in desperate need of a shake-up, and it sounds like the major developments are finally starting to move that direction.

I know you are joking, but Chris Brown really is technically a developer, as he does own a Burger King franchise.

I have a hunch the name "Broadwest" came from Broadway and West End.

It's actually named for that "broad" Mae West.

I daresay this was worth the wait!

Good Greif I had to go to page four to find this.

https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2018/08/20/exclusive-developer-kickstarts-nearly-500m.html?ana=e_nsh_bn_exclusive&u=CCO9PnMSnO%2F34AcG1r0HfQ04c833a7&t=1534791094&j=83372381

Project full steam ahead.

They want to open a 21-story office tower by December 2020 with 510,000 square feet of space. For perspective, that is ever-so-slightly larger than the downtown headquarters Bridgestone Americas opened last fall.

Propst also plans a 34-story tower with luxury condos and a high-end hotel, which would open in the second quarter of 2021.

"We'll be moving real fast, and that's been our plan all along," said Chris Brown, a principal at Propst Development. "

The hotel will occupy the lower 14 levels of a building that will reach 400 feet in the air. The upper 20 floors will contain 220 luxury condos, at prices ranging from about $500,000 to penthouse units at $2 million, Brown said.

 

Project team

• Chartwell Hospitality, of Franklin, led by founder Rob Schaedle

• JLL, formerly Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. (NYSE: JLL), will represent Propst in brokering office leases. JLL's Nashville office is run by Bo Tyler and Tom Hooper.

• Parks Realty will sell the 220 luxury condos in the project; managing broker Zach Goodyear is quoted in a Propst press release.

• Nashville's Premier Parking, led by CEO Ryan Chapman, will manage the 2,500-space parking garage under the towers.

• Turner Construction Co. and Hoar Construction will build the project.

• Atlanta's Cooper Carry is the architect.

 

 

I will let Mark post all the new renderings.
