The structure at 1721 Church St. that was home to Chappy's Restaurant up until 2013 (and has been empty since) may be demolished.

I think you can change the may to will, be as they have applied for the demo permit.

Really interesting construction techniques on this one. They are building out the inside of the building almost instantly as they go. Have not seen anything quite like it in Nashville.

@samsonh, is this just a different way to build or is it a new trend that is less expensive and faster?

[AronG]

Interesting thread from Tony Gonzalez on new (for Nashville) mechanism being considered for Music Row (height transference!):

I am sure it is less expensive and faster. Once the garage was finished this building has moved relatively quickly. The real question to me is how much longer it will take once the building is 'topped out'

Very interesting.  I'd be interested in hearing your opinion of whether this method actually was faster for this building once you get a sense of it.  Thanks.

Quaver Music is expanding on Music Row, buying two old houses that it does not plan to tear down.  Instead, Quaver will be moving additional staff to the buildings located at 901 and 903 18th Ave. South. Quaver now owns five Music Row buildings housing about 70 staffers, visual and audio production facilities, with plans to add about 25 additional employees in the near future.

Eakin Partners has nixed plans to create a 12-story building in Midtown, one block off West End Avenue.

They have sold the .9 acre site at Vanderbilt Place and 30th Ave. South to Vanderbilt University for $10 million. The land is across from Vanderbilt employee parking lots and a block or so from Vanderbilt's football stadium.

Too much proposed office space and not enough tenants.

I found another major project and passed along to WW. Not going to hold my breath though. This should be coming out in the next couple of days.

I love seeing Nashville's original, and still in my opinion the only TRUE full-service, walkable, cohesive urban neighborhood, continue to evolve and change for the better!!

I live in Hillsboro Village. It is going through a lot of change right now. The addition of the Moxy hotel/apartments/retail will further tie the neighborhood together. Once this development is finished it will further draw in the small restaurants on Belcourt in. It is exciting to watch. My wish is for the post office land to be sold and developed into a mixed use project.

Though it would be good to see the post office remain in the neighborhood like it is in The Arcade downtown.

I think the post office should stay in the village but, have a smaller footprint.

Agreed that it is nice to have. I've had passport photos taken there, and it is convenient to have a full service post office within walking distance.

LOL, I know... it’s like, “Meh... whateva.” Unless it has “750 ft.” or “60 floors” (or greater) in the header, then it seems to have little bearing. (Of course, we all know that this is not really true... right?) I suppose it is a matter of perspective.

 

I think it is so funny that I find myself seemingly more excited than many others on the Nashville forums about some of the projects going on... but now that I’m in the Atlanta area, I kind of have that attitude towards Atlanta. Unless it is something akin to the aforementioned attributes, I do not bat an eye. (Then again, metro Atlanta is still three times the size of metro Nashville... although that in and of itself is amazing. Not long ago, the gap was much greater.)

That's going to be a great addition to the neighborhood.  Reminds me of a place where I stay in DC... The River Inn, near the Watergate. It's located in a crowded mixed use segment of Foggy Bottom. Close to everything, but "just out of the way".
