This is so great to see--the steel frame now rising super fast. 

I, like so many others, would've loved to see this one as another 30 story hotel tower in that prime spot. But, 16 stories is not terrible at all--great infill for density.

Yucca is deemed historic. Planned to be relocated.

I hope this is a joke, because that Yucca needs to remain right where it is!  It's no exaggeration to say that the Tempo Yucca is the most significant cultural icon in Nashville today, easily surpassing "Ghost Ballet" and "Sticks" in aesthetics and positive impact on the quality of life.  Tempo Yucca for Mayor!!

I really wish I shared your sentiment on this one.  23 to 20, okay cool.  23 to 16, ouch.  

Let me stay positive, though.  More hotel rooms = more visitor capacity = more and larger events = greater economic might.   So, hip hip hooray.

Definitely! If it's already starting floor 7, and it tops out at 16, then you've just got those 9 remaining floors. 

I'd say they build out and put up about a floor every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. So by end of December/early January, it should reach the top, I'd imagine. 

Still wish this one had been 30-35 floors or so. Ah well, I still like the design, and at 16 stories, it's great mid-sized infill and density.

The design is ok, and it's good infill at 16 stories. With this hotel being close to nashville yards I prefer it at 24 stories. At 24 stories it would have blended in good with the nashville yards skyline.

Although at infill height, I do like the color variance this project will bring.

Like Eddie Arnold, Yucca filamentosa is native to TN.
