MTSUBlueraider86 30 Report post Posted June 17, 2011 I'll wait for a rendering before I get too excited, plus 70 rooms is not a tall building. How can he/she afford a prime CBD lot and only build 70 rooms? 5 [email protected] 15 rooms a floor? Does not seem practical in the CBD for such a small project.

donNdonelson 3 Report post Posted June 18, 2011 I thought that I had read that this proposed project was to be a rehab of the building that stands at this address.

it's just dave 8 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 I think that's the lot which leads to Printer's Alley (where the large mural is) and I was thinking it would include the small 12-ish story building on the corner and the lot itself. I may be wrong, but it would be a good thing to fill that little parking lot with something to scale and proper complementary style, be it period, or contemporary. It would be nice to see that former S&L building brought back to life. I've always like that little building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jice 15 Report post Posted June 19, 2011 It's definitely at least including the 12-story building at 4th & Union.. based on the ongoing controversy over this building.. check out this older article http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/print-edition/2011/01/14/board-aims-at-regions.html I'm not sure about the lot next door leading to Printer's Alley.. I always assumed this lot was owned by the USPS.. but maybe not? (either way I hope they leave the mural intact!) 70 rooms, as has been mentioned in the NBJ, does seem a bit low for this building.. so that part confuses me.. unless it is just too narrow in the tower portion for more..

MTSUBlueraider86 30 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I got my addresses mixed up. I can see putting a hotel in this building except for the fact there are no windows on the south side of the building. Hard to sell a room with no windows. BR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barakat 184 Report post Posted June 21, 2011 Windows could be added, probably. I think that wall would be a great space for vertical public art, kind of like the red metal shapes on the Doubletree.
