MLBrumby 5835 Report post Posted December 6, 2018 Just as exciting is the future view depicted by the first rendering that will contain the twin 300'+ towers of Broadwest. Said many times here, there's no other midsize city with this much urbanity under construction. So what if the height is not as great as most here would like; it's the street activation that will add much more to the feel of downtown. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nashcago 46 Report post Posted December 13, 2018 I agree with MLBrumby's comment. I've lived in Chicago now for 5 years, and as much as I love the height of some of the existing, under construction, and proposed buildings, they don't necessarily make for great neighborhoods. The loop, Streeterville, River North, etc. are great, but by far the best neighborhoods are Lincoln Park, Lakeview, West Loop , Wicker Park, etc. which are full of midrise buildings and lots of good urban density. The sidewalks are busy, there's ample street activity and businesses, and it feels the most lively, inviting, and walk-able. Though some new height would be great for Nashville, I LOVE how large the walk-able, urban area extends out from downtown. It makes for a much more interesting and lively city than having a handful of taller buildings in the core. Look at European cities... very few true skyscrapers compared to American cities, but they're often times much more "alive" and pedestrian friendly and memorable because of the density and street activity. I'm beyond thrilled that Nashville continues to add density and urbanity. Now if we can just get something other than boxy buildings... 13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e-dub 1772 Report post Posted December 16, 2018 I didn't really acknowledge this until today, but when driving on West End into Downtown it looks like you're heading straight to the AT+T building on West End. That won't be the case once this one is finished and I only noticed earlier this afternoon as I was doing my rounds. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tall buildings are best seen from a distance and give an assessment of the size and wealth of that city. European mid-rises are often older buildings and come with architectural niceties not seen in our newer mid-rises. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Bond 1160 Report post Posted January 9 The drive up West End/Broadway from Vandy into downtown will be completely transformed by the Graduate Hotel/apartments, Broadwest and Endeavor. And these buildings will make Nashville look like a city who has outgrown its downtown as you drive into downtown on I-40 East. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
