Thanks @LA_TN for that refresher on the process. I think I knew parts of that at the time, but not the whole story. Agree lots of lessons to be learned. The biggest takeaway is that for a prominent downtown location (or arguably for any city-owned property), the Metro Arts Commission should retain approval rights over the final design, and any changes to the design. Why would you ever give an artist a pot of money and carte blanche to place whatever they want in such a location?

btw, your description of the unanticipated physics and downsizing brings to mind the classic Stonehenge scene

I love that movie.

The other part that is disappointing is that it looks like they just drove them into the ground and didn’t think that much about what the ground around these should look like. So many times I’ve driven past, it just looks like an unkempt disaster.

If you go there now through the next few months, there are lots of wildflowers blooming at various times. So that is the good thing; but the rest of the year it looks like a weed patch. They should have added sage brush to have a nice winter scene

It's humorous seeing the crane like that, looks like a wildly dysfunctional construction site. haha

The mini crane was kinda cute! Here’s a shot I got this weekend:

Great pic. I'd love to have that in my closet to retrieve clothes... and most of all shoes!

The actual name is 805 Lea, but I haven't been able to locate an official website yet.

There is an interesting flyer here which was created to recruit retail investment.

Bos2Nash · March 26, 2021

This is the only website I have found. "key" appears involved with the leasing the commercial space. They may need to get a model done prior to updating for rentals?

Key real estate is up to their eyeballs in this one. The LLC goes back to their address on Magazine street in NoLa. They seem to be the developers from all I have been able to tell.

This thing is really impressive from the street level..

We also getting an idea of the white metal panels. They are just now installing the supports for the expected orange corner.

Also the perforated metal panel for parking screen is apparently becoming a Nashville staple and quite possibly a Hastings go-to

^^Will the perforated garage covering keep that checkerboard-type design…or will they all be that light color? I like the two different colors together just like in that photo.
