It's cool to see the Amazon tower making a skyline impact from so far away.

Sorry guys that is the 5th plus Broad office tower.

I know Smeags, the reference to Gardendale threw me too.  I think they're referring to the core of the Amazon tower in the background. Someone referred to the fact that that tower will fill in the view from that perspective.

Yeah, he was talking about the core of Amazon #1 peeking up on the left side of the first photo.

They sure took a round about way to get there. Our tax dollars at work. I am surprised they didnt go through California first.

This “tour” is funded by private sponsorship. I believe they picked cities based on where they can hold outdoor events. I imagine climate played a big role. Nashville’s involved a Christmas concert outside of Bridgestone before the Preds game last night.

With the level of angst and partisanship in DC these days, I'm surprised this is still an annual thing. That tree will be lucky if somebody doesn't try to turn it into kindling along the way. (Please Santa, don't let it happen in Nashville.)

The westernmost portion of Music City Center will soon be obscured by 5+Broad office tower in this shot from Fox 17’s webcam. This capture from around 7:30am 11-24-19.

Man, just seems like it's taking forever for them to finish that last 10% of the glass 

Top floor is getting glass today.  This is the north side, east already has some.  We have glass!

 

[markhollin]

The Place (34 stories) update. Glass nearly complete.  Facade going up around mechanical area on roof. Pedestrian bridge is set between office tower to retail/restaurant area.

Here are the prints for the Apple store. It doesn't look as minimalist as other downtown stores and appears to have a usable roof.

There is a lot more space for the store than I'd thought. A lot of space was/is hidden by the temporary walls that made it look like the store would have a smaller footprint. It should be impressive.

Thanks for sharing!

Still going to be a minimal store in my opinion. Very clean glass walls, greenery on the inside looks enticing. The roof pavers appears as "not in scope" so I am wondering if that is connected to the food hall/retail component as an overall entity.

Rooftop will be usable but will not be part of the Apple store. It will be a rooftop patio for a currently unannounced restaurant tenant.

That's what I figured. Not quite what many of us were hoping for in terms of a live music space for Apple Music, but still glad that it's not totally wasted space at that corner.

Seems very un-Apple like to allow a 3rd party to control the space above their glass box. At least for a new construction project like this.

True but Apple was kinda late to this party. Also, the rooftop amenities on top of the Apple store will be set back and won't be visible from the street.

Final glass installation on the north face of The Place.  Not sure why this took so long but it could be related to the fact that the top three floors are taller than the rest and may have required more custom work.  Hope they paint the utility area black.  This is a nice looking building.

 

More steel was being erected on the office tower this afternoon.  They go two floors at once we are up to 24 soon.
