Very tasteful finish. Reminds me of the new LifeWay HQ

Everything's all set to go as far as I'm aware.

Apparently, they were just waiting on the JW Marriott and Cambria Suites to finish (I don't know why and I stopped trying to figure out why). I believe the most recent groundbreaking date they provided was sometime next month.

^ ^ ^ I think it is because to the narrowing of 8th Ave. and Demonbreun for the MCC expansion, JW Marriott, and Cambria.  It would've been too much to have a fourth construction constriction on that corner at the same time.

Working the kinks out on the LED trim lighting.

Looking north from intersection of 8th Ave. South and Demonbruen:

Maybe it's just me, but the red lights strike me as a little WWII Germany......

[CenterHill]

Walking past the Cambria the other day, the red LED lights appeared to be 10 or 12 ft sections of LED rope lights connected together.     Like the kind you would buy in the Christmas display at Home Depot.     I might have assumed the use of a more advanced LED system to light a hotel tower and I may be wrong about what they've used on the Cambria, but that's what it looked like to me.

I bet maybe 5+ years ago this building would have stood out much much more, but it really gets lost in the skyline with all of the other stuff going up around town. I barely even noticed this building when driving around the loop over the weekend.

[wmaddbb2018]

Any idea for when the hotels next door get going?

[markhollin]

My guess is that Metro did not want to have three corners of a very busy intersection occupied with restricted lanes simultaneously (MCC expansion, JW Marriott, and the Curio/Embassy Suites project).  Now that those first two are nearly done, I would think that within the next month we'll see fencing go up and digging/blasting begin.

A May opening in downtown’s Cambria hotel tentatively is being eyed for NashHouse Southern Spoon and Saloon, to be owned and operated by the parent company of Midtown watering hole The Row Kitchen & Pub. The restaurant will operate from a roughly 7,800-square-foot space that fronts both Eighth Avenue and McGavock Street. It will feature a large stage, a private dining room, a whisky bar and an open-air sidewalk presence. 

NashHouse Southern Spoon and Saloon offer as many distinctive dishes as possible at reasonable menu rates. The restaurant will offer 36 beer taps, most devoted to local and regional breweries.

There is also going to be a 2,800-square-foot live music space on the hotel’s fifth floor is called True Listening Room.

Hmm, I wouldn't be surprised to see a trade name infringement action from The Listening Room.

Yep.  Next thing you know, we'll be getting a True Bluebird, True Ryman and True Grand Ol' Opry.

I thought the Ryman was the True Grand Ole Opry.

I think this decor is going to go out of style very quickly. however, it certainly makes you feel as if you're "in the music" so I understand the concept.

Walked through the Cambria a few days ago.  You have to take an elevator to the 5th floor to reach the lobby.  This is part 1 of 2.

Looks nice...but you have to take an elevator to get to the lobby?  I don't understand why they would build new construction and not have a first floor lobby.
