Will there be some form of parapet to cover up the mechanical and HVAC portion of the building?

More steel going up. As seen from the alley between 505 and McKendree Methodist Church.

H&M has dropped out according to NBJ. Reading between the lines probably more of an H&M problem due to their financial woes. Fifth + Broadway has already leased their space the article says but no tenant named.

Not much to add other than a link to the NBJ article.

That doesn't feel like that big of a loss, to me. Hoping for something a little more "buzz-worthy"

henburg · August 8, 2019

We already have a couple of large H&M stores locally, so not too huge a loss. That said, I really hope the replacement is another retailer offering good, modern styles. We need more options like that in the core, specifically ones that offer good men's options. Along those lines, I checked out the new Patagonia store in the Gulch today and was really impressed with their setup. It felt even bigger than their San Francisco location that I visited last year which says a lot.

I'm not at all H+M's target market, but I was interested to see what the difference between a regular store and a flagship was. Ah, well.

titanhog · August 9, 2019

What's a clothing store we don't have that would be widely used by locals and tourists if it were in that location?

donNdonelson2 · August 9, 2019

Small format Target, please!

Does anyone know if there are new Apple Store renders or anything?

That actually wouldn't be a bad "get."

Apple Store site continuing to see some prep work. Wall treatments beginning, cement floor starting to be poured, base of pillars set.

Will the Apple store have an accessible rooftop? Seems a bit incongruous but the early drawings of other tenants had it and it would waste a prime location not to have something on top. Just curious.

Uniqlo would be a great alternative to H&M. They provide the full range of fast fashion like H&M, but their clothing tends to be better in quality and tailoring, IMO. I don't think they have entered Nashville-sized markets stateside yet, though.

Here's their Magnificent Mile store in Chicago.

I was thinking the exact thing. I've been in their NYC 5th Ave store and it isn't necessarily my style, but they are (in my opinion) of a better quality than H&M. I like how they change up the look of their stores on the outside. At least the 5th Ave store has different looks throughout the year. They are starting to enter various size markets. The have a store in Tyson Corner Mall in northern VA outside of DC and they opened another store in NYC in the Hudson Yards development. The currently have a pop-up store in DC to test the market. Outside of Florida, they still have nothing in the southeast. It's just a matter of time before they open in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and I suspect Charlotte and Nashville. The big question with Nashville is would they be willing to be the first to establish as a major retailer in downtown or would they opt for The Mall at Green Hills or Cool Springs?

titanhog · August 9, 2019

Let's just hope that whomever is taking H&M's spot isn't going to make the developers tear down that part of the development and start over like Apple did!

PillowTalk4 · August 9, 2019

Zara store are a bit smaller than H&M and Uniqlo stores but that label might be a good fit. I actually didn't realize how limited they are in certain areas. I'm certain that if they can sustain a store in Annapolis, MD they can sustain one in Nashville. Surprised they aren't already in Nashville and Charlotte.

When I was by there a few days ago, the entirety of those second level panels had been removed (where the exposed concrete pillars are in the photo). Made me wonder if the terrace level behind the pillars was somehow going to be part of the Apple space. Not sure if this photo was before or after that.

These pics were taken last Sunday morning. I believe that terrace on the northern edge (upper right of 2nd photo) is going to be part of an outdoor cafe for the African American Music Museum.
