Does anyone by chance have a diagramed height on this project or other resource? I can’t seem to find a consistent one to document.

Here you go: https://www.nashville.gov/Government/ePav-Viewer.aspx?name=00bbe224-538a-4a12-b77f-742cf6c719a9_CA-Permits-20171101_12968196_1.pdf

It's on page A2.01.

It's 333' 4" according to the diagram from the 1st floor to the top of the parapet.

That's interesting, Wikipedia has it listed at 370 feet, not even close!

May have been based on the taller initial proposal. The person editing that page is who I replied to, so I'm sure it'll be updated shortly

Told you these guys can help you  out! A wealth of knowledge and resources!

[Skyscrapergeek]

Ron, Mark, Bob, what do you guys think about having a location (pinned at top of existing thread or it’s own thread) for construction docs, etc.? Would be convenient for quick access and might help establish some accuracy in referencing and reporting. Apologies if this already exists and I’ve missed it. 

[smeagolsfree]

I thought there was a thread, but not pinned........sort of ????

 

If not, I am good with it sort of as I just sent a PM about some reorganization that could help with this and some pinned threads issues.

Some new renderings from the official website:

Cladding seems to be close to complete.

Looking NW from intersection of 8th Ave. South and Palmer Place:

Looking SW from KVB, just east of Music City Roundabout:

Looking south from 9th Ave. South, 1/4 block north of Lea Ave:

The final color is going to be the almost white color you see in the last picture. I think it will look good. 

[titanhog]

I’m really torn.  Part of me thinks it’s way too busy…but it’s kinda a unique look.  I’m just not sure how it’s going to age.

[MontanaGuy]

It's slowly getting better like a patient who's recovering from the measles.  However I really don't like the random yellow blocks at the base, it looks cheap like a fast food restaurant.

[Luvemtall]

It’s not as classy as was expected by the first renderings . Kinda reminds me of public housing in the Bronx! Maybe it will get better by the end, but not promising.

When you look at Sobro looking like one big area of blue glass, I think we need 805 Lea and Embassy Suites to have variety in downtown's facades. 

[henburg]

The progression on the facade for this one has been extremely slow, there's still a lot of work to do on the corner portion, back side, and top to get it to the final look. I think it will be really sharp once it's finally completed.

I honestly wonder if you show someone who is not familiar with Nashville this photo…what they would think…with this building and Sticks?  It’s a really strange image if you think about it.

I've had to get over myself about this issue.  I attempted multiple times to update some of the Wikipedia listings only to have my updates removed each time.

Ten days later...as Yukon Cornelius famously laments every Christmas...nothin'!

@downtownresident this height has been corrected on the Wiki page along with the Regency Apartments. If anyone has docs for others that need to change please let me know!

There's one that I've been wondering about and that's the Amazon 2 building.  They have it listed at 305 feet but that's 35 feet shorter than Amazon 1 which is listed at 340 feet.  Every render I've seen shows Amazon 2 looking quite a bit taller than Amazon 1 but I don't know what it's supposed to be!  So if anyone has the docs on that one maybe they could let you know!

I have been curious of that as well, my guess has always been that the multi story garage underneath it is not included in the actual “building” height. Someone else may be more familiar or have mentioned it on the Amazon thread?

I have a document citing the height of Amazon 2. The height is measured from Platform Way N, which does not include the parking garage floors underneath Church Street.

They might, the only thing I could find was that it was going to be 22 stories which is one story taller than Amazon 1.  They've changed things a lot since it was first announced.  The 805 Lea building has too.  It actually looks pretty impressive when you're driving in that area though and it's got some pretty good bulk to it.

Is this the one with the new render?  I’m thinking Amazon 2 is now over 400’…right?
