That's quite a long building, and at 18 stories is already quite imposing. Should look sharp with all that glass on it!

Preleasing now for a Spring 2020 move in?! Are people really beating down the door to move in here?

Also, I have a feeling a lot of the people moving in here will be Vandy grad students, in which case a Spring 2020 opening is not the best timing considering most student leases run August to July.

Topped-out with roof on 20th floor.  More glass going in on pedestal and actual tower.

This thing is large looking up 19th.

[rolly]

It really fills a good chunk of sky when seen from the Virgin Hotel cam. It might be a bit nicer looking too...

I love these houses in front of Kennect. 

@smeagolsfree do you or anyone else know if these small houses are on the market? Hopefully not, and they are protected.

As they say in the Midwest: ope.

Nothing is protected in that area. The Yates building is currently for sale. It is being offered by Urban Grout.

Not good.  We need to keep some of our traditional buildings for the charm they provide.  Of course, that's easy to say until the out-of-town developer arrives with a fat check.

I agree, and yet Metro along with Hysterical dropped the ball 20 or 30 years ago and the genie is out of the bottle. This area should have been protected long ago, but it is a lost cause now. You can forget about saving anything in this area as the property owners have fought off any attempts by Metro doing anything because property values have sky rocketed in recent years and developers are crawling out of the shadows now. 

Another problem is that there was so much cheese built here in the 70's that much of the area was ruined long before Metro even knew what overlays were. A lot of the buildings were modified or added on to then that the historical nature was lost and what was happening in the buildings were not considered historical in nature and only time dictates that.

Even NYC delt with this in Little Italy and all of that area was almost gone before they were able to halt what was happening there. Little Italy use to be much larger than what it curetly is.

Denver got ahead of the ball 50 years ago to step in and save historic structures. So you see, this should have been done long ago.

What's bad about Music Row is that not only will you lose the charming bungalows...but you will displace all the "mom and pop" publishers and songwriters who will move to other parts of town and scatter...ending the "campus" feel of Music Row.  Music Row will become like any other street in any other city.  And yes...it's probably too late to save.

William found a video that you guys might like, please ignore and mute the music....can you say cheese please..

I parked nearby and walked around to see what this was.  Says it opening Fall of 2019 might be a little late LOL.

Thanks for all the great pics @KJHburg You might have been bitten by the charms of Nashville as I've been. I grew up in suburban Atlanta, and as a kid I thought hell would be a better place.  There are only two Southern cities that I've been charmed by.  I see so much in common between New Orleans and Nashville (two quite different cities)... but both are like the prostitutes you can't shake... NOLA is the aging beauty draped in lace and deep red satin ... Nashville is the taut, young blue-jean-clad, wild line-dancing bachelorette.

While perhaps the most unlikely analogy I’ve ever seen, it’s really not untrue... XD
