Pardon my ignorance guys, but what was the Bastion fire and how is that linked to the Sporting Club? 

Bastion and Downtown Sporting Club are both owned by Strategic Hospitality.  Aside from the ownership, there's no link. Bastion's fire started in their trashcan behind the restaurant. I would say either someone was smoking and flicked their butt into the trash, or one of the dumpster divers in the neighborhood possibly started it. 

As for P Park/Downtown Sporting Club closing, you could see it coming. They've been pretty dead since the pandemic started. I enjoyed going to both places, but I can't fault them for turning a $20 million profit in 4ish years.

Gotcha. So while not 100% accurate there is definitely a connection. On a sidenote, Strategic Hospitality's (owner of Paradise Park and Bastion) website is completely down. Here is a breakdown of their properties in Nashville (per their LinkedIn)

Quote

Properties include:

• Paradise Park, a kitschy honky tonk on Lower Broadway
• The Patterson House, a sophisticated speakeasy-style cocktail lounge specializing in hand-crafted artisan cocktails
• Aerial, a glass-encased rooftop private event space overlooking downtown Nashville
• Merchants Restaurant, located in a historic building on the corner of 4th and Broadway in downtown Nashville 
• The Catbird Seat, an intimate, interactive and chef-run restaurant 
• Pinewood Social, a third space, bar and restaurant with six bowling lanes and an outdoor space complete with two dipping pools
• Le Sel, located in Midtown, is a fresh take on French cuisine  
• Bastion, a cocktail bar and hangout in Wedgewood Houston
• The Band Box, a 4,000 square- foot outdoor bar and restaurant located in the right field of First Tennessee Park, home of the Nashville sounds

Modera Germantown (5 stories, 800 units, internal garage) has some new renderings:

[markhollin]

The 1.87 acre L-shaped lot at 81-91 Van Buren St. in Germantown has been purchased for $8 million by  a new LLC affiliated with Hall Capital. A 1 story structure that houses O-Ku Sushi, Shed Group Fitness, and Yn-Yang Tea that was completed a few years ago sits on the SW corner of Van Buren and Adams St.  About 80% of the site is currently a surface lot, and still includes the historic 75' tall water tank along Van Buren.  No word on the plans, but it would seem that all of that empty pace could be further developed for more mixed-use purposes.

Additionally, this new Hall Capital LLC has also paid $12 million for the historic Hammermill Building across the street at 1400 Adams. This late 1800s structure was rehabbed and now houses several restaurants/bars (Optimist, Le Loup Cocktail Lounge, Star Rover Sound, and an office for BuildWill Creative).  Vantage Realty Partners had also fixed this up after buying it in 2016 for $1 million.

OMG Harvey's so glad the building is preserved. Would go shopping there a lot from primary school with mom through graduation. Fred Harvey was who bankrolled the fab Nativity display every year at the Parthenon and commissioned the figures in the display. Question in regards to the Rutledge Flats photo. It is my understanding here in Houston that a stick frame structure can rise 5 floors with fire resistant lumber, 4 floors with regular lumber. Is that a national code, if not does that code apply there? We have scads of block apartments over a wide area and a few that rise 8~9 stories with metal framing. When I moved here in '89 there were virtually no 4~4+ story block apartments, lots of 2~3 story complexes plus residential high rises at that time. Just about all of the 2~3 story complexes inside the 610 loop on the west semiloop area have been torn down.

Rendering for the proposed 10 storey multifamily project at the site of the demolished O'Reillys at corner of Rosa parks and Monroe. Seems a little tall, but we are half mile from CBD. Big upgrade regardless.

To your question, I don't know exactly, but looking at these photos of the Rutledge, I'd guess there's something to the 5-floor limit to stick frame. In the case of this building, first three floors are concrete and metal. And I'm pretty sure that's not because it's parking (It doesn't appear to be anyway).

Build it!

I noticed there was quite a bit of work going on at the former home of "Little's Fish Market."  Looks like a complete reno project - anyone know what the plans are there? I had heard at one time Pancho and Lefty's bought it.

I'm very interested to see how this progresses. We need another casual option in the area that is not fast-casual.

The .31 acre lot at 634-636 Division St. is now for sale for $3.9 million.  It includes a non-historic, nondescript 2 story structure built in 1985. If combined with the smaller triangular properties that are for sale on its northern and eastern sides (each about .15 acre), there could be a .6 acre triangular site available that would be bordered by Paseo Gulch to the west, Albion to the South, and CSX tracks to the NE.
