I had not noticed until now that the footprint of this one is very much (idential) to that of the Buckingham (Aertson) project at Broadway and 21st Avenue. 

The Aertson Midtown and the hotel are 17 stories, I think, and this will only be ten or so.

It's interesting that the color seems to match that of the Broadstone next door.

Yes... but I mean the footprint... the shape/size of the layout on the ground.

I think the parcel across the street may be undr contract as well.

There are two excavators parked right up next to one of these buildings.  Are they there with purpose?  Will we see activity here in a few days?

Have to be a purpose. Might be doing core drilling which is first phase

These look like excavators with hammers on the front, not core drillers.  I didn't get a pic and am in Tampa so I can't get back there until Friday or Saturday.

Yesterday evening.

Perhaps most surprising to many who don't get to Nashville much anymore is how much built-up the area on the other side of I-40/65 is now, with much more on the way.

@Sean blackdog, the two excavators I referred to earlier were parked right next to this building in the middle of this photograph.  Now, they're not there!  Do you see them nearby?  I'm in Orlando and can't check until Saturday.

I don’t know, I didn’t see any 2 excavators around building. I think gone.

The site is now fenced off and it looks as if demo is about to start.

As Smeagolsfree stated, fencing is up around site, and starting to tear-up asphalt.

Glad to see that building removed, but I'm pretty apprehensive about this new development. I have a feeling we aren't going to enjoy the final product.

Both RJ Young buildings are fully razed, rubble being removed.
