Good question. No doubt they're not run of the mill materials, and apparently of the highest quality available. I've been on campus a few times over the past year, and have seen the stonework being trucked to the site. So I'm guessing a lot is done offsite and the folks on the site most of the time are regular construction people. Brick, interior, p&p, etc.  Wonder if one of the architects here has any insight as to how many specialists are needed for things like that stonework, or the slate shingles.

The Belmont-Hillsboro building fronting 21st Avenue and once the headquarters of The Catholic Diocese of Nashville has hit the market for an undisclosed asking price.

Built in 1957 and skinned in brick and stone, the three-story structure sits on 2.09 acres at 2400 21st Ave. South.

Will be interesting to see if this might be repurposed for new offices, or mixed use, or will be razed for something new.  It's a rather unremarkable structure, and a lot of lawn space facing 21st Ave. in front and parking lot in back could be better utilized.  Perhaps something along the lines with what Mainland is doing with the Elliott School at Jefferson and 6th Ave. North could be put together for condos being added to the original building.

Call me weird, but I actualy really like that building. I know it doesn't exactly address the street, but I like the wall and the green space. Seeing an adaptive reuse would be cool.

Some geotechnical site work is being done at the Musica statue. Fundraising continues for the fountain portion, but the design/development phase is underway as well with WET, a company that has designed and engineered water and fire environments that included the Sochi Winter Olympic Games’ Olympic Cauldron and the fountain at New York City’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Hopefully, this is the reason they just paved over a section of the cobblestones instead of replacing them on the roundabout.

A prime .4 acre property at SW corner of West End and 17th Ave. South (1701 West End Ave.) is being sold for approx. $3.5 million.  It is immediately to the north of Skyhouse on the other side of Broadway. Could be developed into a hotel. Currently there is a nondescript 3 story bank building and 2 level garage constructed on 1950 on the lot.

That "nondescript" building (on the outside) houses a small, fast-growing prominent bank (inside)! Metropolitan Bank renovated this space in 2013. I'm sure their lease will not be up anytime soon. Also, they selected this high-profile location for visibility in Nashville

Brookstone Group has broken ground on a 14-unit condominium building in West End Park at 119 Mason Ave.It will rise three stories and be called Mason Lofts. Mason Avenue LLC acquired the .34-acre property in August 2016 for $1 million.

Looks like the Jack In The Box location on West End has closed -- probably not a huge surprise, considering several of them in the Nashville area have closed in the past few years. It's a very small footprint, but interesting since the Taco Bell next door will be demolished soon for a new hotel. Are there any known plans for the property?

I could see a Jack in the Box opening there... :)
