The "next day", as in today?  [anticipation] 

[NashvilleObserver]

Are they finally going to officially approve the early rendering?

From the Nashville Post 

Broadway Hyatt Regency could rise 23 floors

Hotel building will offer 591 rooms

That was thanks to John. We do not want to reveal the source, but he was digging.

Way to go John!

Not as tall as I figured but a good start.

[smeagolsfree]

As far as I know that is the total height of the project. As you all know things can change. Demo to be done in the summer with a 2019 completion.

[MLBrumby]

Of course, the whole time the Omni was u/c it was touted as 22 floors, which was actually the tower portion.  The finished height from street to top is 25.  I believe there was another hotel built recently where that was how they counted the floors.  I think sometimes, business writers for the local paper will go to the big announcement.  The developers will say, "we will build a lobby and conference rooms and a twenty-two story tower with 800 rooms."  All they hear is 22-stories. 

Frankly, I don't recall that site being very big (2/3 acre?); and don't they want to build 600 rooms?  So just guesstimating with about 25-28 rooms per floor would be 23-24 floors.  I'd be very surprised if that 23 floors does not refer to only the tower portion.  So with an additional 2-3 floors, it could be up to 26 stories tall.  Hopefully with a sharp design and their logo at the top, it could be recognizable from the foot of Broadway.  All speculating.

That's what I was thinking. This is a rather small lot for 591 rooms in a 23-story tower. Maybe they will be expanding across the border of this lot, onto the rest of the old Lifeway Campus?

[MLBrumby]

And I don't know why some of these hotel developers won't go ahead and throw in 5-10 floors of residential, presumably upper level condos.  With the skyline views this building would have and a top tier flag like Hyatt, I think the developers will regret not going that extra step and doing the hotel/residential.  

[Nashtitans]

article says 260 feet??? Come on the Skyhouse is taller than that. I thought this was gonna be like 33-35 stories? SMH

[wmaddbb2018]

Right I was expecting more as well but it will be solid none the less whatever the height.

Exclusive: New investor revealed for billion-dollar downtown development

Another connection from the San Diego area is behind a planned overhaul to the former campus of LifeWay Christian Resources.

http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2017/02/24/exclusivenew-investor-revealed-for-billion-dollar.html

[MLBrumby]

So far, all I've seen with the L'way campus is a lot of musical chairs of investors. Of course, the property was sold for an amazing sum, but until I see construction going on, I will be very skeptical that this is actually has a longer term horizon than anyone is admitting.  Same goes for Emery's redo, but recent rumblings about that project sound much more promising. 

[chris holman]

There was alot of money spent on these properties and Lifeway itself moved to another location also Hyatt is confirmed overall trying to get size and scope development of this scale won't happen overnight

Yeah...I wonder if this project will be a piecemeal approach, especially when considered against what they'll be doing at 5th & Broadway?  Having announced the Hyatt already, I'm assuming that's how they'll roll.   But, I also imagine they have a master plan of how they want the finished product to look.  That's what I'd like to see...their master plan (something more specific than the render we've all seen).

If anyone has been able to read this new article, is there any new or interesting info in it?  I do at least like that they're now declaring it a billion dollar development.

Nothing new of note.
