Lets hope this is the 41 story version which would be about 500 feet. Be nice to break the ceiling.

[Hey_Hey]

Does anybody know what zoning allows the height to be here? For most of these lots in order for us to get something greater than 400 ft there have to be zoning changes.

[Paramount747]

The height limit was lifted in Sobro when the PInnacle was built.

From the article:

 

"State officials are expected to participate in Tuesday’s event at the SoBro site"

 

Is this common for companies relocating within the city or could we be getting a huge job annoucement from Bridgestone? I can see if they were relocating to the city from out of state. They are moving from 282,101 square foot building and the article states they were looking for 400,000 square foot building, so they may be looking to add additional jobs.

 

It is going to be nice to see the Bridgestone sign on top of the building in 2017.

 

Next we need HCA to build a tower...since they are spread out over 4+ buildings.

Will Tony be there?

Will Tony be there?

Seems only right. His skeptics need to start eating some crow.

Will Tony be there?

I'm wondering if Tony has retained any "ownership" in this deal...or if he sold the land outright, no strings attached?

[smeagolsfree]

From what I have heard, he will be involved.

[BnaBreaker]

Tennessean is saying groundbreaking tomorrow (Tuesday 11/11)!!!

I would think, that when the time comes, HCA would build a couple of 20 story buildings on the empty parking lot across the tracks just north of their current campus.

Not sure if Strings building pun?

1. I expect the Sheet Music design to be used.

 

2. I would be shocked if Tony didn't attend.

 

3. Encore residents are abuzz about the project (lots of concerns and lots of excitement).

Would LOVE to see the Sheet Music design used.  It would be one of the top 5 high-rise designs in Nashville once it's built.  Just hope they stick with 41 floors, at the least.

[MidTenn1]

I'm going with 45 floors and 600'.

 

No hotel or condos.

 

Very similar to original Sheet Music design.

[titanhog]

If we can get 600'+ from Sheet Music and JWMarriott...and 750'+ from 505CST...that would be very impressive.

I think half the posters on the board would need some kind of medication to calm themselves if this all happens at once.

I don't think there is any way the JWMarriott comes close to approaching the 600 foot mark.  Still though, a very impressive list of projects!

So is this the version everyone is talking about?

[Vrtigo]

Anyone know what time the groundbreaking will occur? I'll walk down and snap some photos if I don't have any meetings to deal with.

A friend of mine has a condo in the Encore and has a view of the terrace dedicated to her parents at the CMHOF and is worried she will lose the view.  Unfortunately I think she is going to be disappointed.

Hold the hell up! So I check out for a couple of days and Sheet Music is breaking ground tomorrow? Am I understanding this correctly or did I get too carried away at an extended happy hour since I don't have to work tomorrow?

You heard correctly good sir!

[smeagolsfree]

Just means one thing. You can't go anywhere for a couple of days or you will miss something.

The Tennessean is reporting it as a groundbreaking, but that has not been confirmed for sure, but the lot is closed to parking at this point in time. They will need to start soon in order to have it open in time.

 And I am assuming you are aware of the Turnberry project?  Or should I say 35 story JW Marriott and 25 story office tower :-)
