Why is this taking so long. Seems like they get one floor done every 2-3 months.

Good question. I'm assuming it's not due to its structural complexity and innovative design.

Does this project have a lot of street activation? For a project taking an extremely long time with a lackluster design, it better lol

I think it has quite a lot of street level retail/restaurant space actually...makes up for the lackluster design!

It just looks like a giant parking garage with a box on top.

That's exactly what it is

I'm not usually overly critical, but I can't stand this design. I hope it turns out better than I think it will.

[titanhog]

It would be one thing if it were infill somewhere...but this thing is smack dab on the river side as a "postcard" shot of SoBro.

It's not bad if you don't look at it.

The floor plates for the offices look tiny compared to the monstrosity that is the parking deck.  This belongs in midtown not downtown.  Sigh... Maybe we will get at least 1 decently designed office tower 30+ stories in next year or two.

rendering. And i agree this should've been in midtown.

We REALLY need that 2nd Ave Partners development to hurry up and help take our eyes away from this once it's built.

[henburg]

I'll reserve my full judgement for this until its nearing completion, but as of now I really think the massing is what bugs me more than the design itself. I actually wish that something much shorter was built in this location (lol probably the first time I have ever thought that for Nashville) as it looks like it is going to block the SoBro, a much more handsome design, from many angles. It also would keep the somewhat staircase effect our skyline has going on for it now which helps make it so visually-appealing and photogenic. Also, as many others have mentioned, I have a VERY hard time believing that this garage will be filled with office workers. The garage will be open to the public, right? That's the only way I see that size being a good idea.

So the top out will be right beneath the SoBro height wise I'm guessing?

[SoundScan]

The parking garage curtain/covering is just awful. Beyond awful.

[bigeasy]

Trying to think of something positive to say about this, but I am struggling. SoBro looks good....

Glass installation on the tower portion has begun.
