350 Deaderick Tower (21 stories on top of existing 12 story garage)

[markhollin]

I just stumbled across these renderings while surfing the web.  21 or 22 story structure on top of the existing 12 story parking garage at 350 Deaderick  St. (NW corner of Deaderick and 3rd Ave. North, directly west across the street from City Hall, and just north of UBS Tower). 

Not sure if it is office, residential or hotel.  Stoltz Real Estate out of Philadelphia bought the garage (1,069 spaces) for $54 million in early September of 2018. 

The design has the additional tower slightly offset on an angle towards the NW above the garage.  Also appears to be reworking of the east side of the garage (facing Public Square) with glassed-in units, as well as ground level and perhaps even 2nd level retail.

Stoltz also owns the 20 story office tower at 4th Ave. North & Church, as well as  the Stahlman Apts. Building (12 stories) at 2nd Ave. North & Union.

What an upgrade to the current structure! Would love to see some of the development on the south side of DT spread north.

An architecture contest site.

Give the link please. At least to me privately.

It's a wonderful location.  I parked in that garage for three years in the late '90s.  It has spiral ramps in the center as you can see from the satellite map.

I hope that this is still being planned, that end of downtown would so benefit from a modern tower like this.

Please, Please, Please let this happen

Garage as it looks now, from today.

Lets add a third image into the mix.

Personally, I was pulling for "Restaurant," which of course would have to be around the corner from an "Ikoa" store and next to "Bucks coffee" which that hipster girl walking the poodle is always on her way to but never quite seems to get to!

I like that white flowing dress she's wearing.

A few more details about the proposed tower, and another renderings and diagrams:

- The height looks to be at least 30 feet taller than the UBS Tower to the south, which would make it 384 feet at minimum.

- There would be at least 16,900 sq. ft. of retail on the main floor, facing out on all four sides (Deaderick, 4th Ave. North, Charlotte, and 3rd Ave. North). 

- In all, there would be over 40,000 sq. ft. of retail between first level and basement.

- Stoltz Real Estate is a big time player in various metros around the country.

- Stoltz enilsted an architectural firm (the identity for which has not been made public) to create a design. That design has been submitted to the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Just wondering, what happens to all the current folks parking in the garage? Who will be parking there when it's finished? It's a lot of parking to lose.

Is this real, or just a hypothetical rendering for a contest?

Considering the new owner of the garage deck just bought it last year (Stoltz Real Estate), and that they own the 20 story office tower at 4th Ave. North & Church and the Stahlman Apts. Building (12 stories)... it seems like a viable proposal.

The parking spaces in that garage are great...........probably one of the more spacious ones downtown.   The spiral ramps to exit out on Deadrick or Charlotte are what made me cringe when i was driving out of there.

Just going to weigh-in here...the "contest" people are referring to is likely the AIA Middle Tennessee Design Awards People's Choice. https://aiamidtn.submittable.com/gallery/8aacc7e3-fadc-4429-a5e4-0a3e0599375a/

Voting for it or not will have zero bearing on whether the project happens.  The voting is supposed to be anonymous but, for the most part, we all know who the architects are on these projects.  With that being said, the architect on that submission is in the immediate area of the project and is doing some fine work around town.  They had been in close with the previous owner, so I'm not sure if this was a rendering for a proposed project that the owner used as leverage to sell or if the new owner loved the work so much that they bought the garage to pursue this project specifically.

All that being said, the AIA's Celebration of Architecture event will take place October 29th at the Wilburn Street Studio in East Nashville. http://www.aiamidtn.org/events/2019-design-awards-celebration-party/

I really hope this project is realistic. Here is a photo I took on Friday from above showing the double helix. I used to park in this garage and my experience wasn't particularly positive. The garage will definitely need some upgrades if it were to serve high end commercial tenants.

Also I had never experienced a more complicated elevator button pad than this

That's so messed up!

At the last monthly UP meeting I attended, I learned the hard way they had raised their rates.      $30+ bucks!!!

Wouldn't want to take that ramp w/o curb feelers on my Toyota. I'm guessing that garage was built sometime in late 1960s or 1970s when cars were the size of yachts. Cannot imagine trying to negotiate that ramp in a '73 Lincoln Towncar. Come to think of it, I guess I wouldn't want to attempt it in a '19 Escalade. I'd be looking for another place to park.
