I cant remember the name, but they are not selling anytime soon from my understanding.

Some new info regarding the Grand Hyatt:

- Much of the internal look will reveal railroad design elements. For instance, the lobby will feature in-floor lighting strips and angular wall art reminiscent of the nearby railroad tracks.

- There will be floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. 

- The hotel's podium, including its first five floors, will have glass windows and a stone finish.

- A rooftop deck will feature sweeping views of the city as well as a bar and lounge. 

- The hotel lobby fronting Broadway will feature a library lounge, two restaurants, a coffee shop and private club. 

- The second and third floors will be reserved for meeting spaces, including the 20,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom able to accommodate more than 2,000 people and a 13,000-square-foot Junior Ballroom with 22-foot-tall ceilings.

- In total, there will be 32 meeting and board rooms, an outdoor terrace and several lounges lined by "prefunction spaces" that can be used for exhibits, receptions and other events on the second and third floors. 

- The fifth floor will house the fitness area, outdoor patio and pool deck that will face Union Station and the Frist Art Museum.

On the bright side, Nashville is lucky to have an iconic skyline shot. Most cities (especially of our size) would kill to be able to have a view that scenic and unique. We're desensitized to it by now, but it is pretty beautiful.

Correct. Church Street (Upper 10th) is used to measure the height for both towers

South tower (20 stories) - 340 ft:
20 levels above Church street
3 levels below Church street

North tower (24 stories):
18 levels office
1 level office amenities
3 levels flexible space
2 levels parking above Church street
3 levels parking below Church street
3 levels parking below grade

I think the hotel is 330 ft

North tower is 350 roof, I think 375 mechanical roof and speculate 390 for structural height

South tower is 340.2 ft structural height, 325.3 mechanical roof height

So I found the height for the towers. Do these numbers still hold?

If Giarratana doesn't get the Church Street Park for his Paramount, he could build on this site, which appears from Google maps to be just a few feet larger. Who owns the old Tulane hotel site catty-corner to this? That's more than enough room for his tower.

Here is the diagram originally posted by @Craiger

Adding up the heights of level 1-20 comes up to a height of 334.3’ above Church St. for Tower One.

Clarification

[Craiger]

I don't think there are solid details of the north tower yet since it's not actually under construction. The permits right now are only for the garage up to like 5 above church on the north side. I would assume they've built the base to allow some flexibility in what they can build above?

Thanks @downtownresident. I wonder if that includes the huge crown.

[titanhog]

What I don't understand is why Amazon is waiting to build tower 2...but has "first dibs" on the tall tower across Church when it's time to build.

[smeagolsfree]

I really think they will continue to build once the garage is finished. I did talk to a worker on site and he said tower 2 was in design phase. The majority of parking for tower one or Gardendale I which is the name, will be under tower II.

Yes, these numbers are correct

The South tower structural height is 340.2 with 20 levels above Church Street

The numbers for the North tower are still unknown, but I still stand by my speculation numbers which are based off the South tower

This is where I got these numbers, from plans at start of construction. Unless they changed, this is what I have and don't have time to pull again tonight:

Update Today this morning.  Steel beam is up. 

[Sean blackdog]

Update continue to work on with steel beam. 

[markhollin]

Core drilling along 10th Ave. North in Nashville Yards. Perhaps prepping for columns to support the upper level of the Avenue, as well as some continued work on sewer lines.

Looking north from intersection of 10th Ave. North and Commerce St:

[markhollin]

Amazon one Tower (20 stories) update.  Steel superstructure starting to rise. Central shaft up to about 60 feet.

Looking west from Church Street Viaduct, 1/2 block west of 9th Ave. North:

[rolly]

Just look at those cranes going off into the distance along Broadway. Spectacular!

What an unprecedented building boom for Nashville.

Grand Hyatt (23 stories, 591 rooms) update.  

Looking south from Church St. Viaduct and 9th Ave. North:
 

[Sean blackdog]

Update from ox blue cam. 

Grand Hyatt.  19 floors right now. 5 more floor to go, right? 

Edited September 18, 2019 by Sean blackdog

Seeing the diagrams this is going to be 330' tall. That's a bit taller than the Endeavor tower. It only has 5 floors to go, yet it looks drastically shorter than the Endeavor. Perspective possibly?

Which diagrams?

[titanhog]

After looking at the render, it appears there are what equals to about 9 more floors going to be included to the current height (on that western wall, including the "crown")

 

[Andy20]

If you start counting the top of the podium where the pool is as floor 1, there are 20 floors going up if you include  the rooftop bar. Right now they are at 15 floors above the podium, 5 more to go.
