Looks like a 2nd crane is about to be installed.  I could not figure out where the crane base will be, though. Kept getting shooed-away by security when trying to get answers.

Two trucks lining up with crane parts on 3rd Ave. South:

Is it reasonable to assume it could be going up for a Phase 2? I'm not familiar with this project and how it's oriented: I do know they proposed an 11-story second phase (across 3rd Avenue). So were the trucks located near the second phase.

They are right next to it, but there was no evidence of them starting on the 10 story phase yet.

Last I walked past it the area where the 11 story one will go is being used as a staging area. It’s primarily stored supplies and trailer-offices. It’s been a little while since I walked past though, they could have cleaned it up.

The new crane is up and operation on west side of the campus, on 3rd Ave. South, 1/2 block north of Ash St:

I forget to post pic. Last Wednesday evening.  

[MLBrumby]

What is the fencing up for? 

[nashwatcher]

I think that's the land the Convention Center bought for the future downtown transit hub

[smeagolsfree]

Correct, The fencing is probably up to discourage parking, but not 100% sure.

You would think that with all the time I spend on UP I would know what you're talking about... but I don't.  The Convention Center is putting in a transit hub?

I believe this was actually part of Mayor Barry's Transit Plan, but isnt this where the light rail was going to transition down into the downtown tunnel? Convention Center was going to buy the land and then essentially hand it over to the city when it came time for the "transit hub" (one of the many proposed in the plan) to be constructed. I may be misunderstanding the term a little bit though.

[Mr_Bond]

Thanks much, @Bos2Nash.

[volsfanwill]

yes, this is the location that the south tunnel entrance was to have been (will be)  the convention center had the opportunity to purchase the land and is.

If a light rail line is built from the airport to downtown, this will most likely be the terminus allowing bus transfers. until the tunnel is eventually built for the remainder of the system. 

 

And yes. when referring to the light rail system, I always use the words "will and is"  especially with people that i know voted against it.  And remind them that all they did was cause a delay. not a complete cancellation.

Topped out on all sides now (7 stories).  Windows being placed.  Brick work starting along 2nd Ave. South.

Not a lot of detail, but best available rendering....

Here's a closeup of some of their work in Columbus, Oh. I would expect I similar attention to detail in Nashville's project.

[DeemonBruhn]

Just great infill.

[markhollin]

First crane coming down.  Also, brick work well underway on eastern building.  Massive blank wall along the north side along 2nd AVe. South.  My guess is they figure another equally-proportioned structure will butt-up against theirs eventually on the NE corner of 2nd and Elm St.

Looking south along 2nd Ave. South at intersection with Elm St.

Two crew guys working on crane disassembly.

My favorite project in the core currently. Followed by stockyards, followed by embassy suites/one hotel.

[nashwatcher]

I’m excited to see what they do with their taller apartment building next door. Anybody heard if they’re planning to break ground after this one is complete?

[markhollin]

Much of the brickwork/cladding complete on east and south side.
