Will Cool Springs turn into a Buckhead eventually? Or will zoning always prevent some "highrises"?

Doubtful because they probably don't want to hide the hills from view. I mean, once you get beyond all the parking and relatively same looking suburban office buildings, regardless of how "urban" some are planned.

[Nashtitans]

I like the no surface parking lots in this one (Unlike Ovation)

I don't see Cool Springs becoming Buckhead. Maybe Green Hills. But not Cool Springs, areas too pretty for highrises..

Nolensville's planning commission approves the Nolensville Martin's Campus site plan, which would build three new structures and 132 parking spaces on 6.3 acres, along with a children's play area and asphalt trail in the flood plain area behind the development. With over 13,600 square feet planned, two of the buildings would house Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint and 55 South.

Was up in Brentwood last week and did see Hill Center. It's very well done.

The massive new Life Time Fitness Club is under construction at 5020 Carothers Parkway in the Cool Springs area.  Will be finished sometime this fall. Here are some renderings:

 

[bigeasy]

I got something in the mail about that. It sounded very nice and had lots of options when it comes to exercises, classes, and weight. I am tempted to sign up just because they have an outdoor lap pool. But for a facility that large I feel like it would be a constant fight for a lane.

[opendrawerwhore]

Nice but looks very expensive.  I'll stay at Planet Fitness...

For sure for 10 bucks a month, me too. Not worth the hassle of dealing with all the muscle head, lunk heads either.

Finally went over to the Fountains At Gateway project going on in Murfreesboro. Went to Fuzzy's Taco Shop (not bad by the way, pretty tasty). This is going to be a cool little area for the city. We plan on going back tonight to take our son to the little plaza area with the Fountains he can play in. I was really impressed with the lighting and will try and remember to take pictures. Here's a pic from their website that kind of shows it off.

If you notice, the building has the same accent lighting on the exterior as the columns and fountain. Looks quite nice at night. Should become a pretty popular hangout once everything is completed. I still can't get over how much this area has changed. I remember when there was no Medical Center Blvd. Then again I remember when Cool Springs was a field, so maybe I'm just getting old.

Another new office park in Brentwood.  

Fast-growing consulting and staffing firm Vaco will anchor a new 109,000-square foot office building, which Highwoods Properties, Nashville area's largest office landlord, plans to start building near Brentwood's Maryland Farms business park by year's end.

Vaco will occupy 37,000 square feet in the first of two buildings Highwoods plans for nearly 14 acresat 5501 Virginia Way that's the last undeveloped site in the Maryland Farms area.

The developer bought the land near Tractor Supply Co.'s headquarters and across Granny White Pike from private school Brentwood Academy for $9 million a year ago.

^ They need to find a way to fix the traffic issues on Maryland Way. Adding this and the Hill Center at the Franklin Rd/Maryland Way intersection are going to make this stretch even worse than it already is.

From Nashville Post:

Ramsey Solutions officials held a ceremonial groundbreaking today on their future corporate headquarters building in Williamson County. The estimated move-in date is August 2019, according to a release.

The future building will span 223,000 square feet and will include a coffee shop and bookstore for guests watching “The Dave Ramsey Show” live in the studio, as well as office space for more than 1,000 Ramsey Solutions employees.

“We are moving at the speed of cash,” Dave Ramsey, company founder, said in the release. “Being debt free is not just something I talk about on the radio, and it’s not just for personal finance. Our company has always been debt free, and building a new campus will not change that. We are cash flowing the entire building process.”

Ramsey Solutions in 2015 bought the 47 acres of land in the Berry Farms development and on which the headquarters building is planned. The company currently occupies more than 150,000 square feet of office space across multiple locations in Cool Springs.

The City of Clarksville, through it's 501c3, non-profit, volunteer civic improvement organization, Two Rivers Company (TRC) has proposed an urban apartment block for the downtown area.



TRC is looking for a developer to get the project built. The project would be built adjacent to a new Civic Park currently under construction at 3rd and Main. Presumably, the land would be made available to the developer.

Quote:

The proposed site is a 60,000-square-foot rectangle, or close to 1.4 acres, and the development is envisioned as a five-story, L-shaped structure with multi-story parking within the core. It could have 13,500 square feet of commercial space to include a neighborhood grocery store, restaurant and bank, 128 residential units and up to 314 parking spaces. "We're the youngest county in Tennessee," Bibb said. "We're a city full of millennials, and this type of project would serve that population well, as well as empty-nesters, so it would serve a current need. "Beyond that, we see this as the first of many multi-use projects that are possible for the area if this one is successful," he said.

Also, from the Leaf-Chronicle, some great info on downtown development, the new arena (which would serve as a home for Austin Peay Basketball) and a good outlook on the City's forward looking approach to making this City of 150,000 people into the city it should be.

[MidTenn1]

The City of Clarksville has a Civic Square under construction in the downtown area which will provide much needed park space and allow for community events and gatherings.



From the Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle...

Quote:

The Nashville landscape architecture and design firm, Hodgson Douglas, designed a public space that, according to Richie Jones of the firm, will have these key features: ►Large pavilion to host performances, with enclosed space plus a possible full-time retail or food and beverage tenant ►A great lawn as the central gathering space ►Water feature evoking the Cumberland and Red rivers ►Large rain garden with perennial flowers and native plants ►A gateway pavilion with docent station for renting items such as balls, frisbees and more, and public restrooms ►Terrace seating around the water features ►All-new shade trees and streetscape features ►A seasonal ice skating rink, primarily for the winter months

It will be another nice civic improvement that makes Clarksville a better place to live.

Great to see Clarksville really begin to embrace and develop it's beautiful downtown area!

Here's the Ramsay HQ footprint.  What an incredible waste of land.  A parking garage should be in the plans like at Franklin Park off McEwen.

It's in lower suburbia hell, as everything is a waste of land there.

Ghastly...an absolutely shameful and irresponsible waste of space.  I am SO SICK of this mindset that if there is open natural space that can be used, then it should be used, as if nature has no value.  This has to stop.
