City Lights, 7 Stories, 71 condos, restaurant

[NashWellington11]

The condo prices seem to have started to come down dramatically from where they were originally set. Not sure if any of that has to do with the proposed Fairmont Hotel project potentially blocking views. 

Also, I pass by this building almost everyday and overall it just looks kind of cheap and out of place. The design looks like it belongs over by Vanderbilt (like the Homewood Suites on West End). And the finishes (both inside and out) leave much to be desired.

I only know one person who has visited (potential buyer) and they said that the price was too high for the value/quality of the product. Hopefully, if that is true, the price point will come down a bit to make it worthwhile. Again just passing one comment from one person

I have seen quite a few sales on the ROD, so they seem to be doing OK.

I think it is a nice looking building, and will fit in when other developments get built around it.   Not sure about that utility pole in the street though.   Maybe there is a relocation plan still in place that hasnt happened yet.

 You said, "relocation plan" for utility poles in Nashville.

Obviously there is some discord with this particular development and the overhead cable providers.   I'm guessing when the owner found out how much it was going to cost to bury the lines underground, they balked and the overhead cable providers stood their ground........and now you have a pole in the street.

It will get relocated once Otis the drunk hits it with his car a couple of times.

There will be some nice units in there, but the amenity deck sure seems... boring? The new apartment buildings have nicer ones for sure.

For anyone wanting details on units. Here is one for sale. Makes sense that they are targeting corporate relocation executives. Over 80% of the building sold already. They should've gone taller!

If it’s already 80% sold they should start on another building in the area immediately! We need more condos downtown

They wanted to go taller, but the codes department wouldn't allow it.

This view makes me want to go climbing!

Hope they remember to put curtains up for that jacuzzi tub. Could make for an interesting scene for any peeping Thomas's out there with a telescope or binoculars.

The worst part is that the balcony wraps around right up to the tub. Forget telescopes or binoculars, you'll have to watch out for your own guests/family members!

I was doing a little playing around with the angles around City Lights while doing a walk yesterday and decided to take a look at the angle on the map and share what I have found. Now some of the residents at City Lights may not know what is coming around the bend but here is the latest.

I do not even need to put arrows where the 2nd & Peabody & 500 2nd project is going. Those views will be blocked.

The arrow towards the parking lot at 1st or Hermitage & KVB will be developed by MDHA into a building of up to 30 stories thus blocking that view.

The arrow on the other side of the thermal plant is the Hensler project to be around 30 stories thus blocking most of the rest of the view of E Nashville.

The arrows going east & north are the Scott Sales property and those have been surveyed. Base height 6 stories with 5 stories bonus for 11 stories max, thus blocking those views. 

The arrow in green is a scenario in which the condos are all bought out and a structure is built in their place. This is not as farfetched as it sounds as the condos at Howell Place were all bought out and the six condos at the Tishman Speyer parcels look to be about to go as well. That would block those views as well. If there is nothing at the condos, then Metro is more than likely going to sell Fire Station # 9 for another project again blocking the views.

Speaking of Tishman Speyer, the one resident that wrote the condescending letter to Metro planning did not realize another project was already planned there. Guess that sort popped his bubble. 

I hope no one from CL is reading this otherwise they may be upset by what will happen in the next five years.

It just goes to show that no view is safe no matter how many people you sue.

That is very interesting.  I recall when  Terrazzo Condos were built on 12th Avenue that I thought it was almost a fraud for them to show pictures of the city views because Icon was about to go up across Division Street and block most of the views.   But in a big city there is not much you can do about that, I guess.
