Which project? 16 stories hotel or 29 stories residential.  

Not sure. I was driving so it was hard to tell. It oddly seemed to be down the middle of the site, but it looks like they have been clearing stuff on the residential side.

Here is a look at the project from the Church Street overpass.   Raise your hand if you believe that is the finished look on the parking garage.  Not much glass after all.

^^If they don't put anything over the parking section, it'll be a shame.  It's as if the city has decided since it faces the interstate (just like the other buildings across Demonbreun)...it just doesn't matter.

I believe they are enclosing the entire garage portion (or at least most of it) with glass. Driving by this morning it looks like they’ve started putting the glass anchors on the building. Hopefully that means they’ll start covering that section with glass soon!

Oh, wonder of wonders... I don’t exactly relish the thought of more unfinished parking pedestals. Makes you wonder what people passing through Nashville think of our buildings!  Maybe this one will look nice!

Unless plans have changed, this will be enclosed in glass

From the office brochure it appears that the garage will be screened in:

We may also be getting some sort of lighting at the 13th and Demonbreun intersection.

Here is view from the interstate on a dreary day.  It does appear they are preparing to put glass (or something) on the garage to the left.  I think the jury is still out on how all these different surfaces are going to look in the finished product.  Hoping for the best.

Looking at those attachment "shelfs" I tend to doubt it will be glass. Looking at the brochure rendering, it appears to be some form screening - think perforated metal maybe? Or something like they did to the Peabody Street Holiday Inn garage - but as soon as the black weatherproofing stops on the north side, that where the screening will apparently stop.

From the permit documents, it does appear to be a perforated metal on the side fronting the interstate. It appears the garage will be open to the interior of the development, and that the building will be 264' tall.

Agree 100%. The original rendering showed this would be glass. But I noticed, as you noted, the "shelfs" do not look like supports for glass. The later renderings appear to be screening. Value engineering. Thankfully, this will be screened

Yeah...it's better than the opened garages facing the interstate with those two buildings across Demonbreun from this one.

OK, I am trying to be patient with these people, but doesn't it appear that the variety of finishes is going to result in a "busy" look to this building?   Maybe  it'll all come together but there is another look to the north side as well.  Help.

Yeah, it appears the design is intended to divide the curtain walls into separate verticals to give the appearance of two, even three, adjoining towers, rather than one solid glass "cube".     I'm trusting it will all come together, but we'll have to wait and see.
