Haven at The Gulch, 11 stories, 299 apts, $100 million

[rolly]

Seattle is home to Amazon's HQ towers.

But Nashville has 3 Amazon towers in the works with over 90  stories of new space. I bet these 3 were a cake walk compared to good ole Seattle.

This is the ugliest building I think I've ever seen in Nashville. The pastel colors are gross.

You can but you will get a lot of mud on you in the meantime. Either way you and the pig are none the better off.

I think this photo actually looks pretty cool.  Maybe one day, when this starts to fills up with residents..........along with the Albion next door, there will actually be some people walking and biking on the multi use paths in these photos.

Yes, of course--they need housing just like everyone else. But the developers and architecture team can create a building that looks and is, nicer, aesthetically, for them, IF that is the case.

But it's my understanding that this is primarily market rate apartments/condos? The building is super aesthetically unpleasing, in my opinion. 

Highly unlikely, yet I wish their leasing rate would be proportionate to the appeal of the building.  Perhaps that might motivate them to make some changes.

To salvage anything about this building's aesthetics, I really think that it would take some significant creativity. Maybe commission a muralist with some serious $$$ and just cover up every side's uninspired pastels with some vibrant street art. At the very least, it would distract from how flat the building is.

Kudzu grows faster! In five years it could just look like a big, oddly shaped hill blocking the view from the freeway.

“You should see this huge mound of kudzu growing between these buildings in downtown Nashville.  I hear people live underneath it.”

And that, my friends is the “attractive” side of the building.

Hate to say it but that glass portion doesn’t look too bad…

Knock me down with a Hummingbird feather. I am sure glad I am not looking for an apartment in the core.

Agreed.  Too bad it's only 6% of the structure.  The line I'd add to their brochure is..."We offer breathtaking views of downtown.  And, because you live in Haven, those view never include us!"

Thought this was interesting.  You know how Google Maps will show up-to-date projects even if the image isn't included.  Notice anything missing...?
