I'm vastly underwhelmed.  The interiors are not particularly elegant.  I think the louvered door, door hardware and closet hanging system are no better than many suburban apatment building.   The interior furnishings are rather cheessy for a high end apartment... needs abetter interior designer IMO.    I would expect much better for the costs and brand of the building.

I tend to agree

You're right ,rather be in Broadwest over the Four Seasons.

The interior of the Four Seasons residences looks incredibly cheap. The interior decorator must be an amateur.  I would not live there because of the location and the quality of the interiors.  I’ve seen their residences in other cities, this one doesn’t compare.

Interior designer here. This is very underwhelming. The staging looks very cheap, and what’s with the lattice and mirror in the entryway? I’d have expected way more (especially the staging) from this brand. 

[jmtunafish]

Apparently, the floors are the best part of the Four Seasons residences since that's pretty much all we could see in that video.  Oh, and the kitchen countertop and the bathroom vanity.

Driveway open for main entrance along Demonbreun.

I agree with all the sentiments laid out on the staging here. If I am spending the money I would need to to purchase a unit I would want solid doors instead of louvered doors on mechanical doors. Also the giant return air grille in the ceiling at the entryway is a big turn off. 
 

I think this reinforces how developers are till viewing Nashville as a “cheap” investment. While the Four Seasons brand will carry the development, this video doesn’t show anything special beyond a typical condo/apartment we have grown used to seeing. The developers are able to secure sales and maximize their ROI with a smaller investment than other cities

I’m wondering what the monthly maintenance charges are for these apartments?   I’m guessing the majority of buyers do all cash purchases, but high maintenance fees and property taxes can detract from value. 

I can find only a 950 sq ft one bedroom unit listed for rent at $7,500 per month, which is about the same as a similar unit in a new luxury building in Manhattan.  I think I’d choose something at Broadwest over this project.  The interiors look really cheap and the location right by lower Broadway would be a negative.

The hotel rooms , look nicer then the residential units! Really shocked by what I’m seeing , really does look average. Not what someone would think of when entering a Four Seasons. Probably purchased by corporations and investors as a perk for their clients. Think of it as a very expensive STR!! 

[nashville born]

After viewing both the video and the photos posted, I'm almost convinced the video is of one person's unit, which is reflective of that individual person's tastes and NOT a FS staged unit.  Not ready to judge based on that video alone.  Almost positive that if FS could, they'd ban that video on sight!

I agree. I think this is a basic, this is what you get for the lowest purchase price, with the thought most buyers are going to throw in extra dollars for upgrades.

I think the hotel rooms looks pretty basic, bland, and uninspiring tbh. More impressed w rooms in Thompson and other hotels that don't quite carry the "four seasons" luxury tag.

It appears that someone jumped (or fell) from the Four Seasons this morning. Corner of 1st/Demonbreun.

I really do agree. When I saw the louvered door I was like wow, that's similar quality to an Avalon or something. 

If you shell out a million bucks for that apartment, you'd expect the finest quality, or a bit more out of the box conceptual design aesthetic for that money.

I am assuming at this point that there will be no signage or lighting at the top of this building. Pretty disappointing that 2 of our tallest (505) have nothing on top or lighting either. Hopefully a future building will up the game on this. Just ranting, I'm glad we have them overall.

[VSRJ]

The height is nice, but overall it's such a bland building. I agree that lighting and/or signage would add something.

I hope the day comes when more developers/designers think outside the box — literally and figuratively.

[Nash_12South]

The potential problem with lighting these high end residential towers is whiny residents who don't want their multi million dollar homes flooded with building accent lighting. I agree they would look better, but I think a big reason it doesn't happen is the residents. I know of a hotel that had to agree to turn off the accent lighting after a certain time because the guests simply couldn't sleep (even with black out curtains).

That’s understandable to some degree, but there shouldn’t be any issues with lighting the tops of these buildings at the least. A little accent lighting around the mechanical screenings would go a long way to give them nighttime appeal.

The most expensive hotel stay in Nashville goes to Four Seasons' Presidential Suite on the 14th floor of the hotel.  The 2,238 sq. ft. three bedroom package runs $16,000 per night.

Included in the huge space is a small, private workout room with a treadmill and free weights; a bedroom with a comfy king-sized bed; a bathroom with double vanities, walk-in shower and free-standing tub; and a massive entertainment space complete with an eight-person dining table, lounge area, fireplace and cocktail bar.
