^Love that! An interesting design and a very efficient use of a tight space.

MDHA approved the concept plan for the Blue Parrot to replace the concrete block structure highlighted by a Johnny Cash mural. Last fall the committee deferred on the project because too narrow sidewalk width.  The new design now shows a width of 8 feet.

 

Where exactly is this?

on molloy. if you're looking at the johhny cash mural, the hyatt house would be to the left and the country music hall of fame to your right.

It looks great, especially the brick (as you noted), but it looks out of place or out of character at that location

We will have to agree to disagree. If it is a choice between keeping 'vintage' buildings (see the building next to Harry O's in the picture) or constructing new, good quality structures, count me for the new.

Now hopefullythe restaurant, Harry O's is worthy.

I would rather be able to keep the old and bring them up to date, keeping as many vintage elements as possible.  However...if the building is too far gone to bring it up to date...then yes, new construction but replicating the building style of the original as closely as possible.

What’s going to happen with the old looking 3 story building to the left? It looks so run down.

Damn! Those are very nice. And not run-of-the-mill stuff. Hope the developer does more projects in Nashville.

It was announced that Franklin Synergy Bank is financing a $17 million loan for Frank May's Broadway Lofts, to be built at his 120 2nd Ave. South property. The building will be located on what is today a 0.2-acre parking lot, sandwiched between the Headquarters Beercade and a four-story brick building home to a Trail West boot store. Ground work has begun on the site. New color rendering below.

Interesting....as I was on my rounds yesterday, I saw a crew core drilling on the large State Employee parking lot that is bordered by Rosa Parks Blvd, 10th Circle North, and Gay Street.  I asked one of the guys what they were working on, and he stated he would get fired if he were to tell anyone.    Hmmmmmm.  

Looking NE from Gay Street, 1/2 block west of Rosa Parks Blvd.

The equipment was just to the south of the State Employee Parking Lot 15 marker on this screen shot.

I passed by this yesterday and haven't seen it mentioned here yet. Vista at White's Creek is a development of single family homes just off of Briley Parkway on White's Creek Pike, opposite the UPS expansion. It seems pretty well underway at this point with at least 50 homes built and it looks like they're planning many more. 

Edited February 26, 2018 by fishsticks176
This is the closest thread I could find for this. Does a White's Creek/NW area thread exist?

[Buildtall]

That started about 3 or 4 years ago with all the utility work and they started building I think about 2 years ago. I pass it everyday and they’ve built a lot of houses in the last year. There’s something else being built across the street from ups and the rock quarry but don’t know what it is and wondered if any one had a clue. I had heard another ups facility but not sure if that was true or not.
