Holiday Inn SoBro, 15 stories, 190 ft., 228 rooms, $70 million, mid-2018 completion, NW corner of 4th Ave. S. & Peabody

Do you guys really think the Tapestry hotel will not happen? Thought the property was purchased last week.  It would be at the very right (just outside) the picture. At the very least, I think it's more likely than the One World proposal. That one to me is quite flimsy.

The sheer amount of hotels is just staggering to me. Yes, with a few exceptions, they're not huge, but the sheer number of hotels and cumulative rooms is plainly a bet on Nashville holding big events in the near future.

Holiday Inn site being fenced off today a nd work should start in earnest in a couple of weeks. DF Chase is the GC on this as well as Margaritaville , which should start in about a month according to  source I spoke with.

DF Chase has been winning an extraordinary number of these recent hotel projects...

Good for them, but have they actually started building any of these projects yet? First in my memory is the Virgin Hotel with its interminable delays and complete lack of any meaningful progress. It would provide a nice boost of confidence if they actually had a few shovels in the ground.

Didn't they build the Westin with those incredible windows?

Work starting in earnest.

This shot ^ wouldn't be recognizable as Nashville for many people. It honestly looks like another city.

^ I was about to post the same thing. I'm a relative newbie but obviously familiar with the goings on in development...and I had to do a double take.

^ Ditto.  When we moved our IT offices to 2nd and KVB back in October 2012, the Hilton Garden Inn, SoBro, 222, and Bridgestone were all surface lots.  Ascend was a dirt field and the Hyatt and Omni still had cranes.   The view just in the Holiday Inn area and along KVB in the next 3-4 years will be insane.

Of course, they put up the crane the after I take this pic

[markhollin]

Crane is all the way up now for Holiday Inn SoBro.  

BTW, I'm not fully knowledgable on various tools of the trade.  What exactly is the t-shaped tower in the foreground that was just erected for the Marriott TriBrand?  Is it to help in pumping cement?

That's actually just the crane they used to assemble the other crane. 

Here's another view of a similar crane to provide a better perspective. The spread gantry simply helps to improve rigidity and strength, while still being collapsible for portability:

From Nashville Post:

Nashville-based Pinnacle Hospitality Partners has landed a major permit related to its 15-story Holiday Inn project underway in SoBro.

The permit, valued at about $15.8 million, will allow for foundation and structural frame work. Nashville-based DF Chase is the general contractor.

The hotel building will sit on a .57-acre site located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Peabody Street and Fourth Avenue South with an address of 415 Fourth Ave. S. The 230-room building will rise 190 feet.

Pinnacle created Pinnacle Fourth and Peabody for the effort and obtained a loan of about $60 million from Nashville-based Pinnacle Financial Partners, according to Nashville Business Journal.

Memphis-based Bounds and Gillespie Architects (design) and Nashville-based HFR Inc. (civil engineer) are involved in the project.
