460 James Robertson Parkway is now completely leveled.  Still no word on what will be replacing it.

Would love to know what percentage of downtown workers actually live downtown.

I've searched in vain, but I remember someone posting an article that between 10-12k people work downtown now.

Should that be live downtown? The Downtown Partnership has that number at 12,000 for 2019.

Yes sorry. 

That's what I was thinking, I knew it was around there.

So if every person who lives downtown worked downtown, that would be about 16% of the 72k workers.   But of course not everyone currently living downtown works downtown or works at all.

This is the 2018 Residential Report from NDP including comparisons to peer cities.

And this is the annual survey results for 2018 for downtown residents.  41% of downtown residents also work downtown.

 41%, whoa!

Things are DEFINITELY percolating around the Neuhoff Packing Plant transaction.  Now Maneet Chauhan's Morph Hospitality Group has just sold their 1.75 acre property at 93 Taylor Street (which just happens to back up against the northwestern edge of the Neuhoff site) for $8 million.  The purchaser is apparently the same group that just bought the plant.  Something major is brewing.

Looks like Margaritaville is going to make several of their rooms "timeshare" rooms through their Margaritaville Vacation Club by Wyndham...and this will be a sales center for them.

I wish they painted quotes on those blank walls, or some sort of mural.

The small cinder block warehouse that features the Johnny Cash mural is coming down to prep for The Blue Parrott (3 story bar).

Does it look like they are taking the building apart? William noticed this and wondered if they are going to reassemble the mural in another location. They seem to be doing this very carefully as they cold have it down in one hour with a large back hoe.

I sure hope it's reassembled! I was upset about losing it. Although, I suppose it's in disrepair anyway.

That would be extremely awesome if it is preserved

FWIW, 11th Ave. is closed for a while as they work on utilities for the Asurion project. The street is dug up but there is a detour as was stated above. The Greenway has been detoured as well.

Downtown Nashville Partnership just published a new report showing that there are now 72,000 people working downtown, a 25% growth over a 3 year span. 

Austin's downtown job growth rate is at 13% over the same span. 

Since 2008, downtown's job acceleration has been 56%.

I kind of like the stone (limestone?). It's prettier than bland concrete. Also, I'm okay with not having murals on EVERY large surface available.

I believe a larger portion then just a few rooms will be timeshares. An old neighbor used to work for Wyndham and she was saying they have been planning the timeshares for awhile. I cant remember if she told me or even knew the percentage though

[NashvilleObserver]

Taken today on Lafayette. I thought the juxtaposition was very striking. It seems there's plenty of room for more growth....
