So my friend, are there to be more news coming today? Or is the PSC news kinda the big one for now? I’m just having a slow day , kinda boring so some exciting news would be cool! Thanks again for all you do, much appreciated.

There's the Germantown hotel already on here.  There are a couple other things that popped up on the City's development tracker and are on Smeag's great map as well.  Check out action along Hayes St and Rosa Parks, especially the Hayes one.

If it is what I think it is, shrewd of them to announce late a on Friday.  Big, but not wanting the fanfare type situation?

That actually may look better with the light metallic window frames. I’ll have to wait and see. Did it lose some windows from the bomb blast?

Painted white brick makes it go faster.

^The red brick made that building, giving it a timeless and classy look. This paint is just making it modernist and ugly.

Agree, natural stone & brick needs to stay natural. You can paint wood , you can paint stucco … etc but not brick and stone.

Anyone have more info on this? Nashville post is being a tease. Could be significant change to height in the area. I think currently the Ludlow is the tallest structure in the area?

Thoughts? Does anyone have access to renderings from behind the post paywall?

Sorry, no renderings yet. No response from the architect or the developer. The plan is not available from Metro yet, so when that becomes available you folks will be first to see.

I don't know...I kind of like the painted brick. If it's a relatively neutral color, then it can give it a pretty classic look (as well as helping seal the brick and mortar to extend its life). Painting brick buildings was a very common practice in the 18th and 19th centuries, and if done properly can really add to a building's charm.

Any chance one or two 20-30 story buildings get developed on the parking lots behind some of those historical buildings on Broadway?  I guess technically they'd be fronting McGavock, yet they could reasonably approximate the other side of a Broadway canyon.  Beyond that personal desire (Broadway canyon), I'm asking because it feels like the area between 10th, 4th, Demonbreun, and Broadway is a void relative to towers.  Would love to see more fill there to go with Embassy, One, and Cambria.

Not in this case.

There are a couple of lots overt there between 7th & Rosa that could be developed. One is prime and owned by the baptist church and probably will. The other is behind the Customs House and I am unsure who the ownership goes to. The parking is used for the CH.

I've spent a lot of time in that building over my career. Looking forward to hearing more about the plans. It will be good to see the War Branch of the Tennessee State Museum be able to expand.

Hi, "Prince" Clift ─ I meant Nashville Cliff (forgive meh..)

Glad to know you're still around.  Yes, it lit me up too, to read about that expansion.  The War Branch has been treated "red-headed'ly" much too long.

As Smeagolsfree mentioned yesterday,  there is core drilling equipment at 522 4th Ave. South.  No word as to who is researching this parcel, as there are no permits currently on record.  Just to the south at 532 a 115 unit residential project is seemingly in the works by Douglas Development.

Looking NE from 4th Ave. South, 1/2 block north of Lea Ave:

[smeagolsfree]

I think those properties are now maybe connected after my walk today and talking to someone. We will know more if we can get ahold of someone at Douglas. The original project that was at 532 was a no go as it was first proposed by the old owner.

I think we are looking at an entirely new project on a larger scale here.

I still can do a lot of snooping on a Sunday.. I still found evidence of two more projects today....one could be BIG
