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

The staggering of permits also relates to getting construction drawings completed. You only need the foundation drawings to be complete to get that permit and get started on a project. It allows the project to start sooner while the architects/engineers are still drawing on the shell drawings (which can be a separate package)  then drawing on the floor fit out plans.

At last!!!!! Let it sink in everyone…750 feet in Nashville!

[colemangaines]

This'll edge us above the following cities for tallest building:

Jacksonville (currently tied at 617ft)
Kansas City
Des Moines
Omaha
Las Vegas
Columbus
Cincinnati
New Orleans
Denver
Detroit
Mobile
San Antonio (will be tied at 750ft)

I've always thought that while Nashville overperforms for its size in terms of number of high rises, it underperforms in terms of tallest building. But looking at the above list, seven of the metros we're passing have a higher population and only five have a lower population. Either way I think this project will be a huge success in showing other developers that they can succeed here doing something this tall or even bigger.

I will put a caveat in on Las Vegas as their tallest occupied is at 735', but their tallest structure is the Stratosphere, which I will always count as their tallest building, and we would too if it were here.

[Note A]

The Strat

1,149 (350)

112

1996

36°8′50.59″N 115°9′19.40″W

Tallest observation tower in the United States, second-tallest in the Western Hemisphere after the CN Tower in Toronto; second-tallest free-standing structure in the U.S. west of the Mississippi River, after the Kennecott Smokestack in Utah; has been the tallest structure in Las Vegas since 1996.[2][3][12] Originally known as the Stratosphere, until 2020.

I was thinking about this as well considering the tie with San Antonio would be with their Tower of the Americas, so if we're counting that one, we should count the one in Las Vegas as well for consistency.

Thanks for pointing that out, the Wikipedia page I was going off of didn't include The Strat and I'm not sure why. On that note, I think the East Bank would be a great spot for an observation tower of that type. You would get the traditional riverfront view of old downtown but if you were far north enough you would still have a good view of projects like this one, Nashville Yards, and everything going on in midtown.

With you on that, the East Bank would also be a good place for a Nashville Eye Ferris Wheel !!

Ferris Wheels are old hat.  I think a PolarCoaster would be more popular if they are still being proposed to be built somewhere.  Did Florida ever get one built?

[Luvemtall]

I was going to mention one of those, but didn’t know if they still are producing them. Definitely would be cool, I looked at their website once and believe you could have one with a observation deck at the top.

I took a Better look at your post, and noticed the observation level in your picture . 

[Luvemtall]

Just did a quick search, apparently the polar coaster company (U S Trill Rides) filed for chapter 11 in December. One confirmed built , four announced but never materialized

I always figured that was too good to be true!

Nashville was once in the running for a Polercoaster: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2016/06/30/nashville-makes-short-list-vertical-roller-coaster/86557074/ Sigh...

I see they have a stack of blasting pads or whatever they call them.  That's a good sign!

[MontanaGuy]

They're digging a little deeper this afternoon.

[markhollin]

Blasting pads being put to use.

Slow but steady progress.

Question: is this thing fully funded, e.g., is financing in place? I can't seem to remember. Thx!

[Sean blackdog]

Everyone pls call Oxblue camera put them on top tower. 

[smeagolsfree]

Financed or not, all I know is that finish out permits have been issued for all the floors through 40.

Well that says a lot! Thank you for sharing that, Smeags.
