Project Thread/New Construction/Photo du jour/Const. CAMs

[Pyramid Scheme]

That view on the OneCity cam is really cool. I sometimes look at it and imagine some of the proposed towers that would fill this in even more, giving Nashville on heck of a skyline. But I have a feeling that professional photographers would still snap their skyline shots from the opposite side of the river, getting Batman to UBS, the same skyline since 1994.

Yeah...the one angle that looks like Batman is our only downtown building.

Our skyscrapers are so tall, they touch the clouds...

Is it just me, or does that spire in the second photo seem bent?

[SoundScan]

Just lens distortion from the camera.

Ah, that's it. Downtown Nashville. Anything else that gets built is illigit and unpostcard-worthy.

As I drove I-24 to the Shelby Street exit last night, I could see how the rising skyline of SoBro is making an incredible transformation to the overall skyline and has nearly doubled its length and scope. When development jumps KVB with all the proposed 20+ story hotels, the view from the east will be jaw dropping. Hopefully, some prime photo location will be found or created to incorporate that into a future skyline view with all of SoBro and the lighted bridges.

The Adventure Science Center cam has swung more into SoBro... now includes the BWSC building under construction and very visible.

Great density I would still love to see a 700+ft tower to add to the skyline

Smart decision, now I don't have to look at the westin. Is there an observation deck there that would let me take a picture with the same view? I tried to go to Fort Negley years ago but the trees blocked any view of downtown.

But we can't see the JWM going up with this angle.  Oh the problems a stretching skyline presents!

To me, right after you make "trucker's curve" and you're about parallel to PSC Metals while on I-24 and look to downtown, that's a magnificent view and perfect photo op.  However...I've yet to figure out how anyone can get that shot.  I've used Google Maps to travel all of the streets in that area, searching for a suitable location, but nothing is as elevated as the interstate.  I think the only option would be to stand near Davidson Road with a drone.

With the recent clearance of the hill, you might try again to see if there's a better view of the downtown now.

More cool screenshots from News 2 this morning... (sorry for the screen "feedback"...but don't know how to prevent that from happening)

From the looks of the trees, I'd say these are early-November shots.

Btw...News 2 is going to have special reports all day Thursday as well as a town-hall meeting at 6:30pm regarding growth and development.

Looking north from The Pinnacle:

 

Imagine the impact the River North project would have on this picture if built to fruition as envisioned.  Then imagine the east bank lined with multiple 15, 20, and 30+ story buildings.  That would be jaw dropping for those of us hoping for major development and transformation along the east bank.

[titanhog]

Ok...News 2 with some more amazing drone footage (these are tv screen shots).  Let me know if you guys want me to stop posting these.  I just keep seeing them advertise their Thursday development special with these great shots and can't help myself.

Looks like probably last November.

In this shot from Music City Aerial, you can see the former Landport just to the left (west) of Cummins Station that Zach Liff just purchased from Metro.  So curious about what his long term plans will be for that site, as well as the huge surface lot just to the north (the former Union Station Train Shed site), on the other side of the Demonbreun Viaduct.  Two premier pieces of real estate with tremendous long-term potential.

 

[titanhog]

^^Yes.  When you consider the land port...the train shed land...the parking lot across 10th...and the fact he's said he wants to also build on top of Cummins Station...that entire area could become one magical little neighborhood.

Both will remain parking for the foreseeable future, I'm afraid. The landport will see upgrades to allow for additional capacity in preparation for additional development south of Cummins Station, surrounding the base of the pedestrian bridge.

So is that Landport parking area mostly empty these days? If it doesn't develop in the short term, maybe use the top open-air level for a food truck court and a small farmers market on the weekends. It could add a bit to the walkability of the neighborhood, especially with all the hotels popping up a block away.
