I would like that MUCH more than Stix, though that would preclude the poorly painted and lacquered telephone poles from being replaced by a grand fountain in the future.

The Metro Development and Housing Agency Design Review Committee on today approved the concept plan for the One KVB Circle skyscraper planned for SoBro.   : )

No tenants or groundbreaking dates have been announced.

Sounds like it will break ground this year!

Had lunch today with the leasing broker for One KVB Circle and it was confirmed ground-breaking this year, barring something unforeseen. Mentioned a 10 story atrium in the upper portion of the building. It's going to happen.

Gong to be awful hard as they still have to go back to MDHA and the permits are a bear. It could happen, but I have my doubts.

They have to announce a GC, get the loan and there are a number of other things that have to happen. I am not sure if they have to go before Planning and the Downtown codes committee. 

If they have to go in front of planning then there has to be  a vote in the council even though it would be a one time consent vote.

 

Lots I am unsure about as far as committees and such.

Hmmm... I wonder how an elevated circle bridge over the gulch would have worked?  It could have connected from multiple points instead of just two....  Anyway, Vegas has a pedestrian bridge that goes over the main strip with escalators on both sides.  An elevated circle bridge with escalators would be cool and they could move stix to the river bank and convert the inner circle to a water fountain that consists of tall glass cylinders with lighting that changes colors and projects images.

Is this building for sure breaking ground prior to the end of the year?

No. 

[smeagolsfree]

I second the no.

[wmaddbb2018]

Okay, I had seen articles where those in the know were saying it was but that seemed agressive.  Hoping it starts soon!

[Flatrock]

My source said "yes" - but I agree - seems likely he was overly optimistic. 

So, Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I have so much to be thankful for. Sorry for the over-sharing, but the last 18 months have been really tough, health-wise.  This site has been a source of entertainment, information and education in the midst of pain and fear. Thank you, guys and gals, for your contribution to my healing!

I would guess that this would only get started that soon if they already have a anchor tenant lined up and are just being mum about it. I would assume if that was the case that this board would know about it, though. 

[smeagolsfree]

I do know there have not been any permits applied for, for this project that I can find. Also the financing is normally public record and that has not come through yet either.

Wow. Just wow, Nashvylle -- that's one of the most gracious things I've heard in an age. Bless you for that. Wish I we're as optimistic. I'm afraid your boys are coming for blood...and Saban is the best in the business. Hopefully, a GREAT game with zero injuries (Fitzgerald last night was gruesome)!! WDE & RTR!

Had lunch yesterday with a key stakeholder in this project - and he assured me that ground-breaking is forthcoming. He suggested by the end of this month - or by the end of Feb., latest. I guess we'll see, but he reiterated that it's moving ahead - with no obstacles in sight. Hope so.

Amazon? They could do twenty buildings all lining Lafayette, rename the street Amazon Lane

I did bluntly ask him -- and he rightfully declined to respond with specifics. He did say that key lessees are in place.  Yippee.

That’s good! I’m really looking forward to seeing this one rise.

Parking has already stopped on the grass lot there.

I just have to guess that the tenant's company's first name starts with a A....Not Amazon or Apple but something local...
