Bird's eye view from Asurion's 4th floor. They're working on assembling the horizontal arm of the new red crane today.

Oh man, super exciting! Crane city for sure.

You'll soon have your magnificent view blocked a bit with Pinnacle going up  ...and then Amazon 3! But still good stuff because you'll have a gorgeous view of the new buildings still--Nashville becoming much more urban.

It's unfortunate! Enjoying it while it lasts

What’s awesome is that when I first moved here, the section of the Gulch where the train tracks are seemed to be this mile wide wasteland…and now, it’s going to be surrounded on both sides with towers and hardly noticeable…the way it should be.  Now…for that commuter train...

Absolutely! What a view

Curious, how is the view from the other side on the same floor of the building? Can you see some cool progress/construction there too?

1001 Church update this afternoon, looking SE from Church Street Viaduct where it crosses over CSX tracks:

That is one awesome vantage point!   I would get nothing done during the day if i had that view.

I work at Asurion facing the site and here are some photos of the new red crane going up today. 

For a second there I was thinking they were taking down the Y.

Soon?

I hope that comes soon... although I've swum in that pool on many business trips and I think it's really cool.  It's  a very nice indoor pool, but I hope Mr. Giarratana will putin a full-size long course 50-meter pool.  We'll call that progress.

Today this evening. 
Big red tower crane is completed by big yellow mobile crane.

As an architect, I do not feel the vertical pinstripping of the curtainwall particulary attractive and seems particularly ill matched with tower 1.  Boring!

1001 Church/Amazon Three update:  tower crane operational.

Looking NE across CSX tracks from Asurion ramp, 1/4 block south of Church Street Viaduct:

Forget the curtain wall, that parking garage is beyond hideous. From a non-architects perspective anyway.

Wow.  The block articulation of the curtainwall design is significantly more bold than in the renderings.  Awesome!

Which building are you referring to? Amazon 1?

I agree, it seems kind of dated, like something you'd see on a building from 30 years ago.

I’d imagine 900 Church

Could have more flair IMHO , but I’m glad they’re not clones. That’d be the most boring. I’ve heard that Bezos likes his buildings to be nothing extraordinary from the outside. Seeing pics of A1 however it appears they’re not scrimping on the inside of that one. Can someone here clear something up for me… Amazon owns these two outright but will lease A3?

They are leasing both. According to Parcel Viewer SWVP owns both buildings.

I’d imagine you would have a front row seat for 1111 Church, and then the eventual partner tower at Church / 11th.

900 Church Alcove.  The Amazon towers 1 & 2 are rather plain vanilla IMO.

I like how Alcove is making a mark on the skyline. That view will look great once Prime rises abs of course will drastically change once NY is complete and Tony’s 750’ tower.

Curious for anyone in the know: why would they choose this type of  crane rather than what we typically see in Nashville (see background)? I’m assuming it has to do with space.
