There is also a change to the planned OneC1ty Development. Currently the zoning allows for 300 units. The developers are seeking a change that would allow up to 600 units to be built in the development.

I gave William the info on that. The plan seems to be changing in several ways since construction started. Hopefully William can get more information and a timeline on costruction. I am all for more residential here and the entire Charlotte corridor is changing faster than we had first thought it would.

What is wrong with these people? They need to get a life.

[smeagolsfree]

The good news is that work has started and the suit has no power to halt work.

I forgot to let you guys know the car wash where the Hill project on Charlotte is to go, is now closed.

Announcement of a future announcement regarding Bellevue Center:  http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/morning_call/2014/08/developer-bellevue-center-mall-announcement-coming.html

I saw this. We have been waiting how many years on this. Sort of getting old and I know the folks in Bellevue are past pessimistic hoping anything will be done.

 

Crosland announced their involvement 2 or 3 years ago after the first and maybe even a second company dropped their plans.

 

Now another 6 months for an announcement.

That is one reason we got out. In some respect when the mall died, Bellevue died.

The demise of Bellevue is an interesting story to watch.  I remember going there all the time when I was a kid, and then suddenly, poof, the anchors closed and it was full of offices.

yet somehow, even though they are closing every where else, sears is still open

[MLBrumby]

Sears does pretty well when there are no other options.  Ooooh!  Sorry... I actually buy much of my yard equipment and tools there, which really isn't very often.

Bellevue Mall started losing tenants it's first year. It was devastated by Cool Springs and the Green Hills expansion. 1990 was great, by the mid 1990's its was already dead.

Hmm...other than removing the umbrellas from the roof top terrace, what design changes did they make?

Yeah...I don't see any difference from the previous rendering?

High powered binoculars on the top floor so they can invade the privacy of everyone in Green Hills.

 

 

 

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ha, it could just be the way the two images are cropped but it looks like they've added some extra sky above it and a nice sunset as if to say "Relax, it's not going to block out the sun and sky."

[nashvillwill]

I just noticed another subliminal difference. In the updated rendering, all of the cars have light trails. This says "Traffic is just going to cruise on by here".

They also dimmed some of the lights....and I think they did it in such a way that sort of minimizes the tower's presence. While the dimensions seem to be exactly the same, the darker tower looks smaller to the eye.

 

Rather than proudly beaming over the top of the 4 story base, this version seems to be sulking quietly behind it.

Friends,

 

This was my bad. That was not so much a new rendering as it was a slightly modified rendering that I had not seen and thought was new.

The new rendering is a PR move. That's news in itself.

Former Harley Davidson dealership at 46th/Delaware in Nations is under contract. Closing in a month. Colliers can't disclose user yet. Were rumors last year that Trader Joes was looking at it, but it's not them unfortunately.

^ Development along Charlotte Pike and the Nations area would have gone nova if that would have happened.

If you didn't stop by the Outlines festival adjacent to The Stone Fox in The Nations this past Saturday, you missed a nice block party.  The neighborhood association has been working on a tactical urbanism plan to put 51st Ave on a road diet to make it more pedestrian friendly.  Public Works so far has not been open to that idea.  But the photos showing damage from a recent tanker explosion from trucks going down 51st were attention getting.  It is pretty scary how much damage an accident like that could cause in an area that is relatively dense from a residential perspective.  Of course, "density" in Nashville is always a relative term.  But still, the festival was pretty nice and was pretty well attended.
