Here is a view of the Grand Hyatt from "the back".   The supports for the west facade are quite prominent.  Also in this shot is some progress on the federal courthouse which now has glass installed above the front door.

That photo is awesome! I had a similar vantage point on the 10th floor of the City Center back in 2001-2003.

That's the first renders I've seen of the 'Yards apartment towers.   I wonder when they plan to start one of them?

Parcel 8 renderings and diagrams. This is a residential building directly north of the Holiday Inn Select, on the SE corner of Commerce and 10th Ave. North.  We've heard rumors that it is going to be increased in size to around 10 stories.

From 6 stories to 10? Nice!

It's great to see the trend from projects downsizing to supersizing.

My guess is that it will change again.

Anyone with their ear to the ground know anything about the status of the residential tower on Rosa Parks and Commerce?  I think it's an interesting design, but it sort of made a splash in media then went quiet since then. I think the design is about 27 stories tall.

Grand Hyatt (23 stories, 591 rooms).  Some new diagrams:

Work continues on the western facade.  Some horizontal pieces have been added to the vertical struts.  But gaps remain.

^^Still anxious to find out if that metal "grate" over the windows serves any purpose other than some type of aesthetics.

The parking lot has been all marked off with utility marking lines, so I suspect they will start sometime after the first of the year.

I think it’s about time to get rid of the billboard in front of this.

This is great shot of the old and new together.  Mercury appears to be holding up his end of the crane.

I really wish they would replace “flat Mercury” with a more substantial (and three dimensional) tower topper.

A render and more diagrams for another one of the mystery buildings in The Yards known as Office 3A. In these (proabably a year old, but just recently released) it looks like several smaller buildings, with the tallest being 10 stories.  Several moths ago we were told that it will actually be more like 15 stories.  So, we are always looking at certain portions of Nashville Yards as being a fluid situation dependent on what Amazon's long-term intentions are.   But at least these give some ideas for foot print and ground activation.

 

[titanhog]

^^I wonder what time frame Amazon has as far as making a decision on those other buildings.  Do you guys think it's a "done deal" that Amazon will use those?  Is there a deadline?

I have to figure the AEG portion is next...and they'll probably use this area as a staging area while Amazon finishes tower 1 and 2.  So...maybe Amazon has at least a couple of years before deciding?
