One Beale

[DoctorGonzo]

Does anybody know, or care to speculate, on how the current crisis in the credit markets may impact One Beale?

[cdarr]

Both towers have been released for sale. South tower as of last week. Pretty sure the plan is to build it all at once. Sales have been excellent to date.

Is there a difference between the south tower and the north tower? I was looking at the renderings and it seemed as if the south tower had larger units, is this true?

[okcboy]

I was in Downtown Memphis a couple of weeks ago and they have the construction

fences up for the Horizon towers and OneBeale. Looks to really be a go this time. I live in OKC now, but always keep up with Memphis news. I'm so glad to see this for Memphis. After this, Memphis needs to stop spreading the skyline out and making it more dense with more scrapers that truly touch the sky.

I"m on vacation in Seattle this week and these guys have an amazing downtown. If we were going to immulate any it should be this city. Even one of their suburbs, Bellvue, is building sky scrapers out the wazoo.

Way to go Memphis! I have plans for Memphis, if my business could ever just get me back home. I want to do so much...

How are the sales progressing with respect to the problems in the lending industry? Have they kept up with the first couple of weeks one beale went public?

Does anyone even know if construction has begun on this yet? I haven't heard anything on the news regarding this lately. Is it still a go?

[Rural King]

As far as I know this project is still moving forward and is currently in the marketing and pre-sale stage.

[mempho]

That is correct. Everything is moving forward. We just had a marketing meeting last week.

[Rardy]

But when is construction scheduled to begin? Is there anyone here that will be able to provide pictures of the project?

Also, I went to skyscraperpage.com and they do not yet have a rendering of this yet, but they do have one of sig. That seems odd, because One Beale seems to be the more likely of the two to be built, although Tennessee needs for both of them to come through.

[gaushell]

Mempho - just go back a few pages in this thread and you will find everything you're looking for.

[mempho]

How many feet tall is this going to be? Regardless of the height, this will be the most attractive building in the state. At least until the Sig is built, but even that doesn't look good right now.

This project needs to get moving, it is taking too long!

I was flipping through a magazine last weekend and saw an ad for this project. It shows a twilight shot of downtown and the towers from the south of downtown. It's a great shot of the city and makes Memphis look very urban. Hope this gets going soon.

I can't wait to see it either. Even though it is just one tower, it means so much to this city to get it. I'm 29 now, when I was in my teens I can remember watching them build Peabody Place Tower and wondering, why are they only going 16 stories. It is such a beautiful building and would have looked great at about 35 stories with a sphire on top.

Am I the only who really thinks this will look better than the Batman building Downtown N'ville? I remember watching that being built as well at around the same time Peabody Place got built. It was awesome to see it going up.

Go One Beale!!

[Clobber]

I think it will be every bit as nice an addition to the skyline as the BellSouth Tower was to Nashville back in 1994(?). I am rather fond of some other existing Memphis towers such as the Porter Building, Morgan Keegan, and Lincoln-American, but this will definitely probably be somewhere in my top five list for the city. I am anxious to see it get off the ground and added to skyline.

Hopefully by the time One Beale is completed the credit and real estate markets will be in better shape and it can be a catalyst for more interest and demand for mixed-use high-rises in the CBD.

I really want to see St. Mary's tower resurrected (pardon the pun).

Does anyone know how many hard sales have been made for One Beale yet? Also, have they cleared all hurdles that might get in the way of this becoming reality?
