Yikes, it does not look so Grand from the back...

Something about those blue/green windows and tan walls that don’t quite blend so well.

[VSRJ]

This office building in Memphis was the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. Perhaps it will look better in clear skies.

I understand that blank walls are often a necessary evil with hotel configurations, but I wish developers would do a better job at attempting to mask them.

The first thing that came to my mind was the Westin.

That cinder block wall will be covered up soon enough by the 18 story residential tower which should break ground sometime this year.   : )

It's certainly no J-Lo.

Some panels have been installed on the south side of the Amazon tower.

I don't think I've seen Nashville Yards put anything out there "officially" with the tower across from Amazon 1 this tall?

 

 

[henburg]

Looking through that page and I found some more interesting renderings posted on January 16th and January 8th respectively. I may be mistaken, but I don't think these have been posted anywhere yet-

 

Notable differences include the redesigned Amazon 2 Tower and the addition of another tall office tower next to the residential building. I really hope this iteration of the plan sticks around long enough to be built.

10th Ave. North upper level update.

Gresham and Smith Architects Nashville Yards page has been updated with newer, much more detailed renderings including the two office buildings south of Church Street. It shows some vertical lighting on the corners of the buildings. My card using the new renders....(the heights are my estimation)….

If Amazon does indeed occupy those other two buildings, their Nashville 'campus' would look like this....

That would be a sight to behold coming into downtown that way... I certainly hope it all comes to fruition!

^^It's too bad Church St will never be wide enough to actually be that pedestrian friendly.

[rolly]

The apartment buildings need to be up-sized as well. 
They were spec-ed out back when the Amazon campus was just at 5,000 in a pair of 24 floor towers.

Now we're seeing over 60 floors (37 + 27) of new office space (compared to the 16 story towers in the original plan).  And the Amazon campus possibly swelling to over 10,000. 
You'd figure the demand for local housing should also scale up. Heck, Broadwest is building a 35 story residential.  These residentials in the Yards occupy too valuable a space to waste on 18 story towers. Maybe we'll see some floors added.

Don’t forget that Asurion, capitol view, and various boutique hotels will be in the foreground before Nashville Yards....

They could take the median out.

Only on a portion of the bridge.  They're going to need it for many of the new developments.

Didn’t they already up size them from 15 to 18? At this point 21-24 would be solid. How likely is it?

I’m sure that the sidewalks will be a good bit wider along the redeveloped areas, and the rest of the bridge can be widened when it is eventually replaced.

Seems to me it would depend on how close these new buildings (like Amazon and Asurion) are to the bridge.  Then...how close will the tall building at Nash Yards be to the current bridge?  They're already building Upper 10th directly into the current width...so I'm not sure they're ever planning on widening Church...though it seems like another 10' total (at least) would really help it.
