Thanks... is that the rendering attributed to this project?  I recall the article announcing this showed what one looks like but did not have a rendering for the site.  Thought it would be 12-15 stories. 

I don't think so, When I looked it up that rendering came up

[MLBrumby]

I don't think that's the rendering for this project.  I found the Tennessean article with the pic attached as a generic image of the Hyatt House brand. http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2016/09/28/199-room-hyatt-house-hotel-planned-nashville-midtown-site/91242730/ 

Article mentions at least 6 stories.  The room count is almost 200, and given very tight (barely more than 1/2 acre) parcel for that many rooms, you're probably looking at only about 25 rooms per floor.  Also that many rooms would require substantial parking for 175 cars, or so, which would be 3-4 levels. If they are above ground, I'm predicting 12-13 floors at this one.

That was a generic rendering, not the official rendering. I think either the TN or the post just pulled a google image for something to run.

So with a new classical midrise tower that Vandy could build in the foreground parking lot, that stretch of Midtown will look very urban indeed.  I think I ate in a restaurant in that low rise, nondescript building at the left, but I don't recall the name. Hopefully that dump will be going soon.

Millennium Music Row ( 6 stories, 230 units, retail) added a second tower crane several weeks ago.

From today's Nashville Post:

Vanderbilt University Medical Center has landed a major permit related to the expansion of its Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital.

The Nashville-area office of Turner Construction Co. is handling the job, with the permit valued at $80.15 million.

The project will see four floors added to the existing structure. The hospital has an address of 2200 Children’s Way.

Two tower cranes are erected and ready for work.  Here is the latest rendering, which, when completed, shows the Children's Hospital being 12- stories in height.

Charlotte's Hyatt House is certainly more appealing in style than the one in Salt Lake City!

That appears to fit in nicely in that neighborhood... brick, low-rise, traditional design and set back appropriately from the street.

.Well it's certainly eons better that the mish-mash crap that had been there.  We all know that it's cheaply built stick-frame, but the veneer at least looks decent.

^^That Uber/Lyft agreement is very interesting.  I bet a lot more companies try to do this.

Also...are those "green" walls?

Love this idea - and it sounds like the leading edge of a fast approaching reality. Car ownership and usage is going to take a dramatic turn....  So many things changing with unprecedented speed and scope.
