The Hilton hotel looks kind of awkward now, especially with the area densifying.  Only if Hilton built their hotel 200-300 feet taller...

Yes it does look awkward now.  And, if I recall the Hilton wanted a taller hotel (I think 20 stories)  but it was met with the same issues raised by the historical group that opposes everything.  They opposed having a building that would tower over the buildings on Broadway.

Cannot wait for this to fill in over the next several years! Took this this morning at the corner of 12th and Demonbruen.

I like variety in a skyline, and I think it works well for the context  behind Broadway.

Figures, there's always a group that opposes any positive growth.  It also doesn't make sense, there's currently a bunch of buildings towering over Broadway.

Encore was supposed to be taller as well

The white brick looks much better than I expected on the former baker Donelson building along 2nd avenue

I was going to say the same! I did not like the old brick and stucco at all, but still was concerned that the white paint job would be a trendy solution that wouldn't fit. In reality, it looks really nice and has improved the aesthetics of that building significantly IMO.

I did a screenshot save of that same image. Very dramatic sky over the skyline with the morning sun peeking in from the east. Best to you, Chris, for a great Thanksgiving Day, and to all the good folks out there in Nashville’s Urban Planet community. Safe travels.

The return is near. I need a list and map of all projects in the downtown vicinity and immediate suburbs ASAP that deserve Mavic 3 drone shots.
