Looks like we may have 3 big projects U/C around the round-about at the same time.

As long as all three developments keep ALL traffic lanes open into and out of the roundabout throughout construction, this will be amazing!

If they close any of those lanes, I will just set up a daily email to all council members complaining. That would be beyond a cluster, woof.

Over here allowing myself to dream the impossible dream...four roundabout towers (perhaps even five) under construction at the same time...and three at NY at the same time...and BOTH locations AT THE SAME TIME!

If I drank, I'd need one right about now.  Wow.  I say, go for it...Wonder Twins powers, activate!!!

I was worried you were standing in the circle in fear of a painted telephone pole was going to fall on you!

A stormwater grading permit has been applied for by M2 Development. Ragan-Smith Associates in participating according the the application, probably in civil engineering.

According to the signage, it looks as if the Ritz has picked Layton as the GC and the financing looks to be done through Oakworth Capital Bank. Neither of these have been reported yet.

If it mirrors the renders, this one will add such a sweet aesthetic contrast to the blue glass beauties currently in SoBro.  That's in addition to being a sweet design on it's own.  Can't wait!

looks phenomenal, I can't wait. Although, I don't think these buildings will ever be sun-lit from or produce shadows in this exact direction. The way I read it, the shadow on the morning of June 21st would be covering the southern half of the round about and probably grazing the northern edge of the Circle South site and it will never produce shadows further southwest than that. So Circle South shouldn't have to worry about being in the shadow of Ritz, I don't believe.

Looking at that massing picture makes me realize how short Circle South appears to be. For some reason, it always seemed taller in the PR releases .  Still a cool design, and great addition to our city . 

[MLBrumby]

I expect they will look similar to the 4Seasons next to pinnacle.

Thought you all may get a chuckle at this. It seems many are in the tear down the sticks team in this area 

[markhollin]

Ritz Carlton will go before MDHA's Design Review Committee Tuesday to present ideas for the park they are proposing on the site at the corner of Lafayette and Peabody St. as well as other outdoor elements of the site.

Fantastic 

[downtownresident]

Looks great! What a marked improvement over what is currently there

[PillowTalk4]

The street level around the Ritz should be really nice.  Maybe they'll propose enhancements to Sticks...

What are the most common trees developers are installing in Nashville now?  I was in NYC this past weekend and literally fell in love with the Ginkgo trees that have become more popular there.  They were used long before now, so there are areas with very mature Gingko trees as well.  The leaves stay on Gingko trees much longer into the fall and they turn a beautiful bright yellow that contrast so well with the dark (almost black) bark of the tree.  The leaves are also a nice fan shape and tend to be a yellow-greenish color during the rest of the season.  Only thing is if you get female trees they will stink for a couple of weeks during the spring when they bear fruit.

[nashville born]

Really nice add to an already impressive project.  This one can't start soon enough!

[UrbanWes03]

Great to see them fix that cluster of an intersection by simply making a parklet! A win-win for pedestrians and drivers.
