Right now, there have been no construction permits issued. There are only grading permits issued which covers a host of work. There are permits applied for on some of the projects. The only permits posted on site are 4 grading permits though.

Interesting. Is this atypical for a skyscraper development to not have a construction permit issued after so long into a development? Or is it due to timing and ensuring construction crews are available and allocated, since Nashville has a TON of skyscrapers going up at the same time now. Not sure that has anything to do with it, but curious why permits have not been issued to allow the steel to rise up.

It's a little of everything you mention. It takes time to do the required drawings and for a project this size, there will be lots of drawings. You also have to the the developer to draw a line on more plan changes and that can relate to - do they have a main tenant and has that tenant signed off on the basics of the building (that often takes time too) . And if the developer wants significant revisions, then you have to potentially get metro involved in granting permissions (heights, roads, materials) and that's mostly a once a month thing.  Usually once drawings are maybe 75% complete you start seriously pricing the job, currently those numbers generally mean going back and cutting out stuff and that causes more drawing revisions and new pricing and this process can repeat itself several times.

AEG site update: more core drilling.

Looking SW from intersection of 9th Ave. North and Church St:

[MLBrumby]

Are they not at a level with enough solid rock yet?  

[smeagolsfree]

They will have to dig for the actual footers of the buildings.

[smeagolsfree]

Large permit applied for. Not issued yet. This is the AEG site.

Lots of new images on the NBJ. Not to mention a planned 48 and 46 story tower on the AEG site.

Is 43 story office Amazon 3? Height?

OK, makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. 

Excited to watch the steel rise soon for all of these!

This is new and unexpected, right?  The changes to NY recently have been on the 'bigger and taller' side and it seems like this falls into that category.  How do these two towers compare to Amazon 3 and Pinnacle?

[titanhog]

The Amazon 3 tower now looks to be well over 600’…maybe even approaching 700’ (at least in the new images).

Yes, I just read through the article and Amazon 3 shows 43 stories.

Looks huge, maybe almost as many square feet as Haven at the Gooch

[Brichar4]

Wow lots of good info and images! I hope this is what they end up going with

Downtown Code Design Review Committee is going to consider all these final design concepts for AEG, Amazon Three (1001 Church), Pinnacle Tower, and the three residential towers at its March 3rd meeting. 

The AEG portion will cover 2.46 million sq. ft., including:

-  12 story, 456,000 sq. ft. building with a movie theater, 2nd level big box store, and ground floor retail.

- The 4,000 capacity/125,800 sq. ft. event facility.

- The two residential towers along Commerce St. will be 34 and 35 stories with a collective 696 units.

- There will be a pedestrian  "paseo" running between all 4 structures lined with outdoor seating, dining and landscaping.

- The below grade parking garage beneath all of AEG will be 5 levels with 2,086 spaces.

AEG's project team includes architects Gresham Smith and HOK; civil engineer RaganSmith Associates; landscape architect Hoerr Schaudt; and Dallas-based multifamily developer StreetLights Residential.

Not many new  details were released today on 1001 Church or Pinnacle Tower, but these latest renderings show them to be 45 and 36 stories, respectively.  The 10th Ave. North residential Tower still looks to be 38 stories. 

The final diagram below shows:

- 1001 Church will have will have a 9 level garage above grad with 591 parking spots, 5 levels below grade with 190 spots for a total of 781 spaces.

- Pinnacle Tower will have 9 levels of parking above grade with 591 spots, and 5 levels below grade with 811 for a total of 1,402 spaces.

- 10th Ave. North Residential Tower will have 8 levels of parking above grade with 543 spots, and 3 levels below grade with 521 spots for a total of 1,064 spaces.

- The grand total of parking spaces across the entire campus will be 7,511 when completed in 2025. 

- The two future parcels (09B1 and 09B2, the eastern edge of the site along 9th Ave. North) are shown to potentially be 48 and 46 stories, respectively.

Can it possibly be a urban Target! Fingers crossed 

[colemangaines]

Side-by-side with the new rendering. 1001 Church is growing like a weed.

[jjbradleyBrooklyn]

WOW! Incredible images of the plan--unlike any that have been released so far.

The 1001 Church Tower definitely looks like it will exceed 600 feet. My guess is 650 - 700 feet +/-.  Just  amazing! 

This will be the heart of Nashville once it is completed--especially the area around the AEG Theater. That would be a perfect spot for an urban Target location! 

Super exciting to see these plans progress!

So let’s grab hold of this, not only does it appear that A3 will be 43 stories….. BUT there’s a possibility there’s a 48 and 46 story towers fronting 9th ! Everyone pause for a moment, picture in your mind , all of this ..PLUS Tony G’s Prime and Alcove , the Y project with a 750’ tower  and Gibson , Edition and the rest of Highwoods project… DAMN!!! What a area this will become! 

Can someone photoshop all these projects together and give a look into the not to distant future.

[nashville born]

Cue James Brown...

Please, please don't go!  Oooooooo, I love you so!

Incredible.  All of that, if/when it exists, will put Music City in a completely new category!  @Brichar4 you called it a ways back when you said the trend in town was heading upward.  I'm giddy just imagining it all.
