I hope they can save the house.  I thought they were going to move it to Marathon Motorworks?

There was a public funding campaign was set up 3-4 years ago by some folks who wanted to buy the Warren House and pay to have it moved in whole the 1 mile north to Marathon Motorworks complex where it would be put on a new foundation.  The  costs for the house and move under normal circumstances was going to be something like $800,000, but then they ran into a further complication when N.E.S. informed them there would be $1 million more in expenses to temporarily subvert all the above ground wiring in the way between the two locations.

Right!      As if we needed one more reason to hate it.

One development I am so strongly AGAINST. This home is absolutely gorgeous and the amount of greenery and the mature trees on the property really helps break up the dense environment in Midtown. 

[archilove]

Another big loss similar to the one we had where the Virgin is being built. The town needs the texture provided by stylish old houses and mature trees in order to remain visually interesting.

I worked in that old house between December of  1983 and March of 1985 for Bruce Crabtree. 

I'm really torn......Nashville needs to grow,  it needs greater residential densities in already existing neighborhoods and improved transit to address the growth.  But Nashville, unlike, say Louisville, does not have a lot of this old stock left-maybe the city could move it to East Nashville to Edgefield somewhere.

I dunno...just sayin.

I'm torn. Warm memories for that place.....I  worked with good people there.

I always wonder why they use lots with historic and interesting buildings when there are so many surface parking lots, empty lots, fast food, 60s and newer houses or 1 story businesses which are obviously under-utilizing the property, etc.

Because “they” can buy these properties when they go on the market and don’t give a sh*t about preserving the historic buildings on them.     Not being cynical and I agree with your sentiment, but it’s the reality of the market.    There are numerous (well, far fewer now) historic buildings in this city that are not under any historic or conversation zoning.    Many of them are not producing much, if any, income and are owned by people who don’t have the means or desire to renovate and preserve them or to continue to pay the increasing property taxes on them, so when they put them up for sale, there is no shortage of developers willing to pay top dollar.     Unfortunately, most of the time top dollar does not support keeping and renovating the historic building.    

This is why we, many of us, not all, celebrate the rare developer who chooses to preserve the great old buildings we have left.    Like the recently announced proposal to renovate Tuck Hinton’s church building in SoBro.

I understand that. I just wanted to vent frustration.

Greystar has requested a lot consolidation from Metro.

More details for the Greystar project

https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/article/21084817/details-emerge-for-planned-midtown-project

The two planned Greystar towers will be larger than those of a previous iteration. A 26-story residential tower with 355 units and a 16-story hotel high-rise with 220 rooms are slated. About 3,500 square feet of retail space would be included, with the buildings

The documents are unclear as to the height of the hotel building as now planned, but seemingly will stand upwards of 170 feet and face Broadway (it is seen on the right in the above image). The residential building (on the left in the above image) will rise about 295 feet, according to the documents, and primarily address 19th Avenue.

To offer unit types ranging from studios to three-bedroom, the residential tower would rank as Midtown’s tallest building (with SkyHouse Nashville No. 2 at 290) if standing today.

Is there a 300 foot height limit in Midtown?  Seems there are a lot of projects that fall just short of that.

[smeagolsfree]

The residential tower at BroadWest will be over 400 feet.

I just figured they had an exception from way back when or something.

Greystar completed the purchase of the 5 parcels for $21.6 million from Regent today. No word yet on when work on the two towers will get underway.

A new rendering (looks great with dark cladding and windows) and a few new details.

- Apartment tower will be 347 units instead of 355

- Hotel will be 200 rooms instead of 220. Still no brand announced.

- Wells Fargo and Synovus Bank issued loans to finance the apartment tower and hotel tower, respectively.

- Construction timeline is 2 years.

So that would be looking east on Broadway, Hattie B's in the low building at front-center, right? If so, then the buildings will be on an e-w axis (i.e. most views to the south and north... not downtown/west Midtown). Should be about the same height as Skyhouse a block over.

Love the dark cladding! Hopefully they actually paint a mural on that blank wall. (looking at you, 222)

[musiczealot]

LOVE this.  This area of Midtown is starting to get very dense.

[smeagolsfree]

One other thing is that construction should start soon. I suspect they will move quickly with demo.

[MidTenn1]

Although it's not on West End, the residential tower will only be a couple of hundred feet from it. It will add to the canyonization of West End.

Great spot for a tower. Another surface lot bites the dust.

Notice that parking deck in front of the Palmer Plaza tower. I think as downtown land is going for as much as 10 million an acre that they'll stop doing this and switch to integrated / parking pedestals with the tower above.
