11 story tower rendering

Is this structure designed to hold the condos in case they're added later?

i dont believe it is. besides, IMO, who would want to live above the transfer station? i can only see office's interested in this. with the way deadrick was, all those same people are moving indoors and may draw more. i am talking about the homeless people.

Cleveland - now there is a downtown with panhandling! They will walk right up to you with a Polaroid and offer to take your picture for 10 - 20 bucks. Nashville is patently afraid of anything that looks like a social outcast. Don't get me wrong. Safety first. The fact is that the homeless is a class that we must come to terms with. The social agencys which are stretched to the very limits of their resources can be very dangerous I understand from several sources. With gas prices rising it would do us all good to ride the bus one day a week. Luckily I work within 3 blocks of home. As soon as the weather and my lungs get on the same page.. I walk at least one way. My husband works within 2 miles, and is investigating a bicycle! (which means I will have to walk both.)

Pretty sure this is one of the MTA Hub cranes, between the buildings.

This is from the rooftop of Phoenix Lofts

I'm wondering, if this thing is only going to be a 2-3 stories or whatever, why is the crane so large?

[smeagolsfree]

Building height from what I understand is going to be about 70 feet.

There are several progress photos and bits of info on the MTA site. I'm curious about the "tuning forks."

I forgot how close this thing is to being completed. Will be up and running in about a month.

Hopefully they will keep the homeless out of the MCC. Their harassment is what made the current spot on Deadrick Street undesirable to start with.

[nashvylle]

I hope that's true too. I think they are having security in the MCC at all times.

[jice]

I wonder what will happen of the current bus stops on Deadrick? I drove by last night (on 4th) and there must have been at least 10 homeless people laying around on benches and what not.

Also saw an ad that said the new MCC is opening 10/26.. it advertised 72 degrees year round

[jice]

This thing is getting ready to have its grand opening.. I believe on the 24th, it was?

Looking pretty good!

Here's the 4th ave side:

Wow that looks pretty good! I like the coloring, especially the green. Now Nashville needs to pass that dedicated funding source to get light-rail within Davidson County!!!

[timmay143]

Thanks for sharing those jice!! Looks pretty good! It is now officially open!!

New Metro bus depot gets rolling

[jice]

It is a very nicely done building.. something we can be proud of, I think.

I took some pics of the inside on friday... at the grand opening. Will post when I can, unless someone beats me to it!

lol, nice that we have a central building for this, but it looks half finished with the way the windos are...

Thanks for the pics jice. This project looks much better than I had invisioned and appears to be a pretty nice and attractive looking facility. Glad to see folks seem pretty happy with the finished product.
