That's really good news for this project... 

[smeagolsfree]

With the purchase of the land and the announcement of this equity partner, I am a lot more hopeful this project starts sooner rather than later now. It is moving forward as are a number of other projects even though they have announced delays, thing are still looking up.

I do think you will se a second tower as the rendering suggested in the 30 story range and it will be a residential tower.  With that being said and the movement on the property across the alley, there could be a third tower, which in all likelihood would be a hotel, however the residential and a probable hotel locations would more than likely be switched.

No, I do not know anything as this is just speculation on my part, but why else would you buy or rather lease  another 1.43 acres.

The original water sewer filing indicated that they would be looking to develop 1mm square feet of office and 500 residential units. Just speculation, but I could see 500 units going into the residential tower being built on the recently purchased parcels, and a third tower, another office building on the leased land.

Why stop at 30 stories for the resi? Let's get 40+

Hell why not 50?  It'd be a hell of a lot cheaper for them than building a separate 20 story building elsewhere!

Not sure if any of you are old enough to remember...back in the late 70s or early 80s, there was this PSA on television about not littering.   At the end, in a very poignant moment, a native American man would be shown with a single tear coming down his face.   Setting aside any political correctness thoughts, that image is how I feel every time I come to select threads and see no new updates or good news from you development spigots.

All due respect to Iron Eyes Cody but “there ain’t no lower class than Tennessee trash”

Sorry,  return to topic...

Except the actor portraying the Native American was actually Italian. Oops!

Irving Kane is the actor who was the Tennessee Trash guy.  Local fellow-great actor and a nice man!

Noticed that this one is now listed as approved on Wikipedia.  Can anyone speak to that status change?  What's the difference (beyond the literal meanings) between proposed and approved?

[smeagolsfree]

Proposed is like the 2nd & Peabody project. It has not made its way through planning or council.

Approved means that it has made it through the process. As far as I know this tower has gone through the steps needed. It did get through Planning and MDHA and the DTC.

The former AME HQ building: here today, gone....soon enough.

It’ll be gone sooner rather than later, I think.

Two items on the council agenda...Items 30 & 33 have to do with the Circle South project. Both of these are housekeeping in nature but ate critical for the project moving forward. These are simply ally and sewer abandonment bills. So these are slowly making there way through council.

I know a lot of you folks think a project is stalled many times, but it is actually moving forward and a project as complicated as this one has a lot of hoops to jump through.

Remember these two have tow more reading to go through.

 

31.An ordinance to amend the Geographic Information Systems Street and Alley Centerline Layer for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County by abandoning Alley Number 142 right-of-way and easement from Lea Avenue to Drexel Street. (Proposal Number 2021M-001AB-001).http://nashville.legistar.com/gateway.aspx?m=l&id=/matter.aspx?key=1894

BL2021-650 attachments Legislative History 1/4/21 Planning Commission approved with conditions 1/11/21 Traffic and Parking

 

33.An ordinance authorizing The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County to abandon a sanitary sewer main, adjust a sanitary sewer manhole, and to accept sanitary sewer main encased in concrete and one sanitary sewer manhole, for four properties located on 13th Avenue South, also known as AMEC Publishing House (MWS Project No. 20-SL-191 and Proposal No. 2021M-003ES-001). BL2021-653

What I was alluding to yesterday, Demo permit for both buildings on the site has been applied for:

Thanks! 

I did not realize the building will actually front Lea Avenue and not Lafayette.  That's a whole swath of valuable real estate between Lea and Lafayette. 

OK... I now feel foolish.  I see that it's a diagram for the existing buildings to be demolished. Not for the proposed building.

I drove by today and it looked like they were running utilities underground. Hopefully this gets started soon!
