Nice photos.

Vanderbilt has announced (last May, actually) construction of some new buildings at the corner of 21st and West End that will replace the existing Kissam Hall.

These will provide a much better street presence as the existing buildings are further away from the streets and separated by surface parking and a high, view obscuring fence. These slightly taller buildings provide some urban, traditional style density to the Mid Town area. It also gives Vandy a better look and a more compelling presence on the West End corridor which has been missing for some time.

Good job, Vandy!

I had that one too, but forgot to post it. I ran across it on Vandys website in February. Thanks for the rendering and the location.

[East Side Urbanite]

Great list, smeagolsfree.

Let's add to it the recently completed (as it often got overlooked while under construction) gymnasium at Christ the King on Belmont Boulevard. A fine building.

Wondering where Nashville City Center's new garage will be built. ?

[MidTenn1]

A few pictures from 10/9/11.

The new park on the East Bank

Looking toward SoBro. None of this was there five years ago!

The four cranes for the 26 story, Omni Hotel.

The Music City Center well under construction. Six blocks in area and up to 150' in height.

The new Way Finding signs; Thank you!

Work under way on the old Nashville Bridge Company HQ. An old George Steinbrenner hang out, now the Citys Parks HQ.

Two of the SoBro anchors;

And another (the Country Music Hall of Fame).

And the iconic view of the Nashville skyline;

I meant to add this one...a little drama!

Great update PHofKS! It's much appreciated especially since I'm not in Nashville now so I don't get to see all the new stuff going up.

The wayfinding signs look good. The MCC is a beast. And the east side river front park is going to be fantastic.

Is that a tower crane behind the red communications building in the downtown shot?

Sure looks like it. I wonder what it is?

[Nashvillain]

I didn't want to start a new thread for this and since new restaurants are a kind of project...

This is great news on multiple fronts: namely that Nashville can support so many restaurants in this economy, that banks are lending and investors are fronting money for historically risky enterprises and that storefronts in multiple neighborhoods across the city will be occupied. Also, I'm surprised that rents in Germantown and Easty are so cheap.

[Nashvillain]

Another positive sign that the trend towards urbanity will continue.

[franktown]

Is there any word on what financing is like these days for developers? I know that office developers typically have to have a certian level of pre-leasing, but do hotel and apartment developments have similar restrictions? I find it hard to imagine that all of these projects (or even a third of the office buildings) can get the green light unless the banks are just going really long on Nashville.

[timmay143]

I wonder if that crane has anything to do with the parking garage for NCC?

[smeagolsfree]

I had this discussion with William and he said that apartments do not have to go through as many requirements as a condo or office tower. Maybe he can elaborate on this more but it’s a whole lot easier to get financing for any apartments right now especially since the occupancy rate in Nashville is so high. I think the lowest occupancy rate I saw in the Nashville sub. market was in the low 90% range.

Very impressive work Ron. Glad to have you back providing so much information!

[whatwhat]

The crain behind the red communication building was removing the tower off of the top of it. It was only there for a week or two & is gone now. Not sure if there are any plans to put up a new one but the view is a lot nicer with it gone!
