I don't believe I have seen this particular photo before. The apartment tower has a different balcony configuration and the office tower parking garage looks different as well.

Does anyone know if this is the most recent rendering?

I believe the large center balconies on the apartment aren't tied to any units but instead common space balconies open to all residents.

Houstons is down to 15 locations nationwide.  I thought hey were OK, but they are going the way of a lot of other chain restaurants. 

They are different in that all of these locations that they are closing are wildly successful.  Like the one in ATL that just closed.  Weird chain.

This Nashville Post article from today has answered my question: https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/article/21005213/notes-new-image-released-for-fifth-broadway

It is the most recent rendering. I just happened to come across it a few days ago while google-image-searching 5th & Broad

I have to say I like this better than the scattered apartment balconies from the previous rendering (below):

According to the NBJ today, Tom Morales and his company TomKats Hospitality Inc. will no longer operate the restaurant planned for that corner spot in the Fifth & Broadway development, so they might be shopping for a restaurant to take that prime spot -- thus keeping alive my dream of it eventually becoming the world's largest Chipotle.  

I'm holding out for a Po' Folks.

A flagship four story combination Po Folks/Shoney's/Cracker Barrel/Waffle House would be quite the draw I'm sure!

Haha could you imagine??? They would have to install AED's every five feet.

I dunno, to me the scattered balcony look would have at least been novel, whereas the updated one looks repetitive and generic, similar to several other places around town.

Also they totally bait-and-switched on the (I assume) parking garage for the office building, which looked snazzy in this old rendering but now shows up as another towering wall of generic facade. I know I'm in the minority but I wish all of our parking garages were just honest about what they are instead of hiding them behind uninteresting, superfluous strips. Why obscure the massive expense we're adding to every development just for machine storage. Maybe something like this:

I agree.  I like the scattered balconies also.

Also the number of parking levels appears to have changed. Since it's Nashville, the levels were reduced from 9 to 8. You know... the whole fear of tall buildings thing and all.

Oh no one more level higher,  that's so terrifying.

As many of us predicted, AllianceBernstein will pursue a lease at the 5th & Broadway office tower as their future home of 1,050 employees. They are seeking at least 200,000 sq. ft. of the 385,000 that will be available in the building.

Additionally, here is a new rendering of one of the garage entrances to the office building  along Commerce St.  A second entrance will be along 5th Ave. North:

Think about how good this is for a sustained downtown economy to have 1000+ 200k-ish salaried jobs at the heart of downtown. Let alone for Fifth + Broadway retail and entertainment tenants sharing the campus, but for anyone  else these folks can walk to and burn a few bucks at on their lunch breaks.

Funny how he NBJ contradicts itself in the article saying they have picked and then says under negotiations.

Not to mention they could fill quite a few downtown condos and apartments.

[wmaddbb2018]

200k+ for most? That seems hard to believe.  But I hope it’s true!

[thirdday2002]

200k for 1,000 employees? That’s 200 sq ft per employee. That seems a little low for a company with such high salaries.

A lot of the employees will have much less than that I bet (via trading desks), and more senior employees will have much larger offices

Trading operations are not moving here.

[nashvylle]

Trading desks are becoming the new norm for efficient office layouts, whether or not you are a “trader”.

I drove by the site last night as they were  executing a concrete pour and the optics were great.  The juxtaposition of the site construction  with the  bustling broadway crowd was amazing. Hopefully someone will capture the progress using a video drone.

Excellent eye, Chris. The orange sunrise casting its glow on our shiny new city says no more to me than "opportunity."

I can imagine one of those motivational posters with a caption at the bottom and this picture being used in it

I know it’s just a box but I’m actually liking the way the residential tower looks. It’s prettu sleek.
