My dad was a partner at GS&P and worked there for 40 years (recently retired). I remember their first building on State Street, their offices on West End, their offices in City Center and this just looks like some hipster coffee spot. City Center was my favorite, but they were somewhat limited with their space. I really wish they did something more like what they designed in China:

Beautiful crown.  Looks very... *ahem*, "feminine"?

The owner of Two Ten Jack in East Nashville will open a restaurant spanning about 5,000 sq. ft. in mid-2018 in the recently completed 222 tower in SoBro. No name or concept has been announced yet. It will be located at the NW corner of the intersection of Demonbreun and Molloy St.

Non-office space remaining available at 222 include a 14,000-square-foot three-story restaurant space at the southeast corner of the T-intersection of First and Demonbreun Street, as well as a 1,650-square-foot café space fronting Second Avenue South and adjacent to the building’s lobby.

I remember their four person office in the Sudekim Building. That's how far back my personal connection goes.

You know Batey and Flem? Now I don't feel as old.

They better not leave that big blank wall. I want to see the giant mural installed like the old renderings.

My guess it it's going to the highest bidder. Great billboard space. Perhaps one of the record labels.

That’s pretty cool! Where is that model located? I’d love to build models like that.

The mural would be amazing. But even a billboard would be better than a giant, blank wall.

Frasier, Dean and Howard accounting firm has signed a long-term lease to take a large section of the 12th floor of 222 2nd Ave. South. I'm guessing the building must be close to 90% capacity now.

I spent Monday at Spaces on the 17th floor.  This is a Regus company (office sharing) whose 'spaces' are more open than a traditionally designed Regus space.  Very open, lots of windows, sitting areas, decent coffee.  The views from this building are amazing.  As I stood in an empty corner meeting room and took a panorama of the skyline, I had a feeling I've never had in my 26 years of living in Nashville - I felt like I was standing in the middle of a big city.  Riding the Music City Circuit to/from work contributed to the feeling.  As the towers continue to go up, this feeling will be experienced from many other locations downtown.

We are living in transforming times here in Music City!

The Green Pheasant Japanese Cuisine is to open as one of the main restaurants on the main floor of the 222 Building (corner of Molloy and 1st Ave. South).  Will seat 184 patrons.

It would be nice if the SoBro area could get a few more affordable lunch spots (like in the Arcade). All the new buildings, with the high retail rents, don't leave many spots for those types.

[smeagolsfree]

Agree. I don't even consider the higher end restaurants downtown for a meal, lunch or otherwise.

Atlanta has Peachtree Center.  Something like this would be awesome for downtown workers (like me) that eat out more than I should that would like cheaper choices in ONE SPOT.  I would think that something like this would be very popular with the tourists too.  Many of them come on a budget.

I know it is a few years out yet, but it sounds to me like the 5th and Broad development will be doing a great deal to address that need.
