Are those colors for real? This thing is going to look 40 years old the day they finish.

Glad they at least did away with that dark grey gradient.  The tan / burnt orange looks a bit better.  Still...quite an ugly design.

The tan color is from the way the sun is hitting it. It’s still a white to dark gray gradient.

Soulless and depressing.....more grey cladding for Nashville's skyline.

Progress on main entrance. Glass installed.

My wife drove past this building this weekend and said, "Who put THAT color on that building?!"

A little better than I expected it to look, but that was a pretty low expectation. Glad it's on a side street.

Oh my god.... THE RED!!!!! WHY WHY WHYYYY???? It is such a random color for this building. I was hoping it would turn out looking like a calm burnt ochre, but..... no.

You should see it when the sun hits it in the morning, it's definitely burnt ochre but there's nothing calm about it.

Just wait, soon it will be faded red.

If I had to find something nice to say... I’m glad it isn’t EIFS. That’s all I got.

[titanhog]

It actually looks nicer at the ground level than I thought it would.

What a grand entryway.... tucked under beautiful exposed parking decks. Such a delicious addition to Nashville.

In my mind, I label this under "basic infill"

[MLBrumby]

Agreed! Harmless and beats what was there before. 

[donNdonelson2]

And this “basic infill” might offer rooms that aren’t $300/night! Nashville really needs some more affordable accommodations for tourists and business travelers alike.

^^If they just had something covering the garage...even some type of mesh...it would look a whole lot better and more complete.

It's not the Mona Lisa, but it looks ok

[MLBrumby]

Maybe it's the hideous Hayes Street garage next to it, but it's growing on me.  IMHO it appears to be a leftover rehabbed hotel from the 1960s/70s... and in doing so, it gives that block an established (pre-boom) retro feel. I like that it's a solid block in size and actually like the colors that give it a nice contrast. I agree that it would look better if there was some decorative screen around the garage portion. I'm guessing that will happen in about 20 years when it undergoes a major rehab in whatever boom is happening then.

Whole lot of horizontal lines in this photo. 

[bigeasy]

Not my favorite by far, but the color gradient adds a nice touch. I think I would like it more if the accent color was a different shade. Maybe a darker blue

I like that the grey scale panels gives it the effect of being lighted.  I wonder if they're actually the lighting those panels at night.  If so, I hope they do a better job than the Westin.

The horizontal bars you see near the base of the panels are lights, but the light only reaches a few feet up.

HOWEVA... there is an LED light bar along the corners of the building. It has only been white so far.
