Crescendo Apts, 6 stories, 210 units in Gulch (was proposed 23 stories 3 years ago)

[East Side Urbanite]

I called Travis Kelty today and did not hear back from him. But he is good about communication and I'm sure he'll call.

 

Crescendo might have a shot at materializing but it will be a challenge, no doubt.

I guess t is hard to take him seriously after the strings project. That website is basically closed down now.

The rendering...from the Tennessean...

 

 

23 stories with 303 apartments

Where's the beach and oceanfront view?!

[arkitekte]

Should we take this seriously? I'm still thinking guitar, even though this design isn't bad at all.

I see we've gone from bar napkins to MS Paint...

[Jamie Hall]

According to the Tennessean story, the developer hasn't even bought all the property for this project yet. I'm hopeful, but I don't have a great feeling about this one.

[CenterHill]

When I see the article that says he has the 75M financing, then I'll get excited. btw, pretty sure that's my car in the rendering.

Ah, you beat me to the MS Paint joke! Just made it in the other thread.

old Infiniti

completely destroys the view coming in from 65

[FrankNash]

If built the Myer's warehouse will be taken down. IMO the warehouse is what is completely destroying the view.

Looks like Bo Diddley's guitar sideways with the points at the top.

In all seriousness, a waterfall would be a very unique feature to a building. It would certainly be eye catching. If you enclosed it with glass, the spray wouldn't really be a factor. Now, maintenance on the glazing, catch pan, and the cost of constantly pumping water up 23 floors are a whole other issue.

We may make fun of this guy, and there appear to be reasons to. But at least he is thinking outside the box. We always complain about everything looking the same. I know that "eccentric" and "insane" are a fine line sometimes, but why not give this guy a little credit for being daring?

It's fun for us on this site to be armchair quarterbacks and criticize everything. But if someone actually said "Fine. You do it better. And put pen to paper". Perhaps that's what this guy is doing. He may never get anything built, but he may in fact inspire something radical.

Or I could be completely wrong and we could end up with a Homer Simpson Canyonero of a building that is the laughing stock of the country.

[dmillsphoto]

Wasn't the Westin going to have some sort of water feature on the 8th Ave frontage?

[Vrtigo]

Yes--appeared to be 20' tall at most, though.

 

Hopefully the final render will be released soon so we can have something to get truly excited about.

Waterfalls don't strike me as very LEED.  On the other hand, it does strike me as very 1980s.

[mirydi]

*Sigh* I got that stupid TLC song in my head now. "Don't go chasing waterfalls" LMAO!

[titanhog]

Hey...if he can make a 23 story waterfall work...go for it.  It's better than a guitar building, any ol' day.

Could be economic if the waterfall was waste water coming from the sinks and toilets from each floor.  That would be more 1780s.

New wastewater disposal architecture. 

[satalac]

If this gets built before WES they can use Alex Palmer's tears for the waterfall.

[MidTenn1]

Reminds me of the fictional 'Montecito Casino' from the old 'Las Vegas' TV series starring James Caan. It featured a large waterfall.

 

 

Coincidence???

[MLBrumby]

Why is this called "... in the Gulch"?   Shouldn't it be Crescendo in Pie Town?
