1010 Church Street (60 story/750', 500 unit residential tower, 7 story/60,000 sq. ft. YMCA addition), $350 million

Glad to see this one showing solid signs of continued movement forward.

I would highly doubt this tower gets tabled. Downtown Nashville's demand for residential is very strong.

Exciting to watch it progress!

Tony has submitted the Final Site Plan to Metro for the YMCA and 1010 Church. More diagrams here: https://epermits.nashville.gov/download.aspx?id=783889

Looks like well have LED lighting accents on the south facing side of the building as well as on the crown. 

 

I never learned the most basic questions surrounding metro approval… so does this put the tower on the clock? If so, then how long does this have before construction must start?

you have to get final site plan approval prior to getting permits. There is no "you now must start construction in xxx days or this is void". Look at Demonbreun Hill project. They got site plan approval (or a rezoning, can't remember) years ago. 

[smeagolsfree]

Demonbreun Hill was also an SP, which this is not. Two different birds as an SP does not have a timeline on it but being a DTC approval, I think there maybe is a timeline involved. With an SP you have a lot more flexibility.

if you look at the Platform Way (Nashville Yards) Downtown Code (Final Site Plan) Permit/Approval, the approval itself does not expire (technically it does on12/31/2999), but depending on the submission there maybe timelines in which conditions must be met. Those conditions typically relate to the design of the project though and not the process of construction.

It’s the back overflow parking lot for the downtown Y. There’s a back entrance in the basement. This is the older section of the Y that’s going to come down for the new tower. The elevated road to the right is Church.

[Bos2Nash]

The project is working their way through the various approvals that are necessary, one of which is aerial/ROW encroachment and dedication. I am really bummed out that there is not interaction of the development with Platform Way. The gap between the elevated roadway and building will range between 20" and 23" (view #1 below).

To me this is a very big flaw from an urban perspective.

[markhollin]

Downtown YMCA has secured a $785,000 permit to allow alterations of the existing structures to make way for the new 6 story addition.

This will be done in such a manner that the four-story facility (seen to the right in the above image) can continue to be used “during the demolition of the existing YMCA structure to the south and construction of subsequent six-story addition (the future Y building).”

The “structure to the south” the permit references includes the older segment of the Y, which offers administrative offices and a modernist building fronting Church Street and with an indoor swimming pool (see here).

The permit notes the scope of renovations include a temporary new entrance, temporary locker rooms and restrooms, and a south elevation building enclosure.

“Demolition of [the] south structure and construction of new addition are not included in this scope of work,” the permit reads, meaning a separate permit will be needed for that effort.

I'm guessing there will be no pool during that time, as the current one is at the rear of the "new" addition, right in the footprint of Giarratana's tower.  I used to use that pool back when I traveled more often to Nashville and had to stay overnight.  Always thought it was very nice and had a lot of lanes (I think 8, plus a shallow exercise area).  I liked the view out the back of Midtown (must be blocked now by Amazon towers). Unfortunately, I noticed on the plans for the new Y building that the pool will only have 6 lanes with no extra exercise space (unless I missed another part of the plan).  I think that's a huge mistake, given how crowded the current pool can get at peak times.

I believe you are correct Brumby, in that there will be no swimming pool at the Y component to stay while the replacement component is built. In essence, the Y will be without a pool for a few years.

On a general note, I've always enjoyed our downtown Y (used to be a member). It has a rather "big city feel" to it.

I gotta say: I love that he's putting such a large tower there, but...it's quite plain, and I wish that the design was something more engaging. This just looks like a bigger 505.

I'll take whatever we can get, though!

It's supposed to have the siding similar to One22One…so that may look really cool at 750'

[PillowTalk4]

I just want to hear ... cranes are up.

[FluffyP13]

Yeah, this building looks like the love child of One22One and Four Seasons, tbh
