222 2nd Ave. South, 25 Stories|305 Feet, 391,000 sq. ft., $100 million

I think they want the terrace overlooking the river and (of course) the amphitheater. I think the two distinct sections actually looks a bit more interesting than the straight sheer side of the 2nd Avenue elevation.

Where the hell are they going to put 130 cement trucks?

Down the street and around the corner...literally. Luckily, there probably won't be more than 15 in queue at more than one time, so there shouldn't be too much of an issue. Any longer waiting and the concrete will begin to cure while in the drum of the truck (even with it still mixing, but that all really depends on how close the mobile plant is to the job site, traffic, how quickly the pour is going on the site, etc. ).

Do you guys think it would have been better (visually) if they had flipped this building with the office tower portion closer to 1st Ave instead of 2nd?

Even better is not doing an all-glass version of Parkway Towers for the 21st Century.

It would be awesome if they planted a few large trees on the terrace level. I think it break up the monotony of the tower and help it mesh with the park it towers over. Similar to this building in Vancouer I saw a couple years back--also fronting a waterfront park:

How would they keep the roots under control for the tree?

Cool time lapse video from the construction crane of the elevator mass concrete pour.  Clicking link will automatically download a 26mb video file from the weekend.

Here's another angle. I like the multi-tiered design!

 

(Sorry--couldn't resist.)

I know some people hate when people quote pics, but this still makes me laugh more than it should.

C.B. Ragland and Hines of 222 2nd Avenue landed a permit for $50.3 million to allow construction of the shell of the 25-story building, per the Nashville Post this afternoon.

 

[markhollin]

Law firm Burr & Foreman has leased 1 floor (about 26,500 sq. ft.) of the 222 2nd Ave. South building. They will be relocating from the Nashville City Center where they lease 19,000 sq. ft. The group has doubled their attorney count to 27 in the past 18 months and need more space. With the signing, 26% of the space is now leased.  Below is a render I haven't seen before of the 222 building from high above the other side of the Cumberland.

My bad (lowers head in shame)

[MLBrumby]

The problem is that they all are shaped by the same cookie cutter. 

[Skyscrapergeek]

Dont worry Wrey, not your fault, they show SoBro too short in that pic as well as Bridgestone.  That is, unless they're pulling another 505 on us.

[chris holman]

Interesting Bridgestone is shorter than the Pinnacle building Pinnacle is 417 feet Bridgestone is 460 clearly inaccurate

[wmaddbb2018]

At the rate they are going will it be topped out by Christmas or slightly before?

Parking decks usually take a bit longer than actual floor-plates. That said, maybe? Gotta figure 1 floor per 1.5 weeks at this rate, so that puts it close.

I mean, that's only a 43 foot difference, and the Bridgestone is further away from that perspective, so it's probably not that far off from being accurate.

Farther away and 30' higher elevation. Should definitely be taller in the render but it's not Hines/Hayes' duty to make it accurate.

Right. Remember, they are trying to make their own building look appealing (difficult, I know), not promote their competitors. 

[markhollin]

Up to the 9th floor now.
