A new rendering of the office tower at the Neuhoff Plant site shows it at 15 stories and 200' tall.  Info with a new permit shows that it will cover 312,000 sq. ft., with 8,000 sq. ft. of ground level retail. It's official address will be 1320 Adams St.  S9 is the architect; Kimley Horn is supplying land-planning and civil engineering; and JE Dunn will be the contractor. 
 

Originally, the older renderings showed the structure spanning over Adams St., but that is no longer the case.  This may be Phase I, and then Phase Ii would complete the connection over Adams.

  That sucks we are losing the structure over Adams. Does this also mean we are losing the structure across Adams (images below) as well? That would be a pretty drastic cut in the office square footage for the site.

I say it still goes over. Looks like there is room for it. And the rendering is just for this building. Once the other one is built I say they put the topper on.

That's what I was thinking too.  It'd be odd to include a 'bridge to nowhere' in the rendering, but it looks like it's all set up to include the bridge in the future once there is something across the street to actually connect it to.

The structure across Adams is “Block 3,” which has permits currently in process. I imagine those will be issued soon, and we’ll get the full picture. 

[smeagolsfree]

I think we will have news coming in the future!!!!

[smeagolsfree]

Taking a closer look at this image, you will notice the elevator shaft goes above the top floors of the structure meaning there should be additional floors added for the two office floors that will go across Adams IMO.

The NBJ article says this is Phase I, so I expect the second 15 story on the west side to be included in Phase II. Just speculation and tea leaf reading on my part.

I'm gonna have to disagree. In the early renders the fourth box is what goes across the street. The elevator shaft, mechanical screen has always carried above the roof (typical). Unless we are anticipating getting an additional floor on this building (are we??)

It's tough to tell because of perspective of the rendering (especially without knowing how far the elevator shaft is setback from the near edge of the building), but that elevator shaft structure looks about 2 to 4 times taller than it would need to be if they were not planning on a skybridge or another floor or two connecting this building to the building across the street. 

On the other hand, the way that the exposed concrete column of this "elevator shaft" is intentionally left visible on the first and second stories of the glass part of the structure as well, it's entirely possible that the oversized nature of this concrete column is just an industrial design element that will likely get shrunk during value engineering anyway.

The good news is, one of y'all is right and I can't wait to find out who!

The latest article In the Post says there will be two residential buildings in the first phase. One 5 stories and the other 9 stories. Where will the 9-story apartment building be located?

I think if you look at the image below the 9 story will be to the lower left & the 5 story will be towards the back and right of all the structures.

From the NBJ today, Cousins Properties is doubling down with an equity deal to own 50% of the Neuhoff project.  https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2021/07/30/neuhoff-project-secures-investor.html

This half-a-billion-dollar riverside development just snagged a major investor. Cousins Properties Inc. (NYSE: CUZ), a real estate trust headquartered in Atlanta, has invested $275 million in the Neuhoff development spearheaded by New City Properties. 

Nashville is just crazy on fire!  This is a huge project, and it's getting scant notice outside the local development community.  I believe it will get a higher profile as it starts the tower and the River North project gets underway. 

[smeagolsfree]

I knew this was coming today, but did not know who the investor was.

Get ready for the cranes to rise!

[markhollin]

Cousins Properties, and Atlanta-based real estate investment trust, is investing $275 million into the Neuhoff project.  This will make then an equal 50% partner in both Phases I and II with New City Properties. JP Morgan Asset Management is also an equity partner in the overall complex.

“This is the next step in setting the table for what will be an incredibly successful project,” stated Jim Irwin of New City regarding having Cousins as a partner and the looming securing of the loan.  “Vertical construction could start in eight weeks with cranes rising,” he said, noting on-site work (clearing, stabilizing, prepping, etc.) continues.

I wasn’t sure if the old Nashville Jazz Workshop building was part of the master plan, but I was a little disappointed to see their old building coming down this week. That leaves only one building left on the west side of Adams street. 

[Mr_Bond]

On Saturday I hung out at Monday Night Brewing's new tasting room at the Neuhoff plant.  Their name for this location is Monday Night Preservation Society, and a great name it is!  Here are a few pics though I'm now realizing I failed to get one of the interior.  Looks like I'll need to go back and have another Drafty Kilt.

This was taken from the Greenway between Taylor and Adam streets, looking east southeast.

Same here.  Monday Night Preservation Society is next to the smokestack, as you can see in the following pictures.

This hole looks like it may have reached its final depth but will get bigger on the north end.

Looking north from the gravel drive.  There's a covered open space on the second floor but I didn't get up there.

The bathroom trailer is on the south end of the property with views toward downtown.

From the wooden picket fence you can see across the river.

And, lastly, a pic of the smokestack and seating area that is in the middle of the ruins.

BTW, the beer is very good IMO.

Crane base in place on north side of main slaughterhouse structure; some foundation/rebar being laid on that site for the 15 story tower; a lot of core drilling/blasting/excavation across the entire site.

That’s four crane bases that have gone up in the last week! 

[Sean blackdog]

Today this evening.
Blue tower crane is up. 

[markhollin]

Neuhoff Plant office tower crane up and operational (interesting that they went to full height immediately); more rebar rising at office tower site; dig for parking garage on western portion is massive.

Additionally, New City Properties has received a $312.7 million loan from Bank OZK (Ozark Bank), and a new rendering.

I was surprised by the immediate height leaving the meetup the other day. The fact that it is a "low" tonnage tower crane probably indicates why though. I do not believe this weight capacity crane is known to jump like others.

[Rick Dalton]

$313m? Wow I didn’t realize this was such a high budget project

[markhollin]

A $15.04 million permit has been granted for J.E. Dunn to continue work on the 15 story, 312,000 sq. ft. office tower at 1320 Adams St.
