I think this is bringing it one step closer - but core living in Nashville still has a lot of room for growth. I won't say it's 100% a go until there is equipment on site, but it's not far off from that.

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

Good news. Noticed the Tennessean published both renderings in the print edition however.

Tony is a busy man and only has time to answer two questions. But they're good ones.

Public parking component...interesting, and really, a good idea. I wish more proposals would include that...but it probably doesn't hurt that Tony's group operates parking themselves.

[Guest 5th & Main Urbanite]

I bet the real issue is getting financing for a condo tower instead of apartments. I bet he does condos and radically changes the design since he cannot get the yellow brick building. He does not have the basement lot either which runs off the southern portion of his large lot behind the restaurant building, but he does have the strip fronting 3rd Avenue.

My mistake. He does have the basement behind the listening room, but not their parking lot.

[L'burgnative]

I may be misunderstanding you, but if he hasn't acquired all the land for his proposal then maybe he's just going to have to build something thinner and taller.  That would be a shame.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Building something taller and thinner would be a shame ?

As far as a condo tower goes, and this is my guess, is that Tony is planning another condo tower close by. He is already doing a hotel at the 8^th and Demonbreun site, so that opens up the lot next to the Encore for a new tower. He had originally planned another tower there, at least I think so, that would have been Encore II. There is a HUGE demand for high-rise condos downtown. Just wait and be patient. There are a lot of folks looking at Nashville, which means there are lots of opportunities for development partners.

[arkitekte]

^Do you think he would partner with Novare again or go with Magellan?

[smeagolsfree]

^Not a clue on that since this is speculative on my part.

[L'burgnative]

Sarcasm fieldmarsh; sarcasm.  I guess I needed a sarcasm smile somewhere there.  On another not; why am I having problems posting replies?

[volsfanwill]

Ive had problems posting replies for about a week. it starts loading like posting but the reply box stays full.  the last two days Ive had trouble getting pages to load, especially when clicking "next unread topic"

[smeagolsfree]

I thought it was just me^ and my box. That  means there is a problem with the host.

[bigeasy]

Today is the first time I have been able to get on the site...So glad for the Twitter page

Neo's server is probably about to crash. He needs to check his hard drives, his RAM, and possibly his network connection if he hosts this site himself. If not, he needs to contact his off site cloud service to see what is up.

NBJ's Nevin Battiwalla reports that CBRE's Steve Massey is predicting Giarratana will build this soon.  http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/index.php/topic/53040-the-sobro-by-tony-giarratana-33-stories-395-ft-342-luxury-apt-18000-sq-ft-class-a-ground-level-retail-space-3rd-demonbreaun-proposed/page-10

Keep in mind Ron, he does not have the coin shop building, so his designs for another condo tower, or hotel on that lot are limited.

1010 midtown in ATL is the only tower Ive seen that looks like how sobro could look once completed http://www.emporis.com/building/1010-midtown-atlanta-ga-usa

I'd definitely be cool with that.

[G...yNot?]

It's funny you say that... I was in Midtown ATL two weekends ago and immediately thought about TG's SoBro when I walked by it.

Gorgeous building(s). I hope ours gets built sooner than later.

Dead on resemblance! Good catch!

Dead on resemblance! Good catch!

Yeah I know right!, very similar, nice looking tower

[NashRugger]

Of note, the site did have a Metro codes sign on site discussing a storm water variance for being within the floodplain. While not the most significant thing, it shows that it's in motion behind the scenes. After the May 2010 flood, I know Metro is being much most stringent and careful about anything planned within the city's floodplains.

[MidTenn1]

While driving down Peachtree Street in Atlanta Saturday morning, I noticed that this building (1010 Peachtree) had a striking resemblance to the most recent renderings for the proposed SoBro Apartment Building. It is listed as 35 stories and 407' tall.

 

 

It should make a significant impact on the SoBro neighborhood.

 

This was designed by Rule Joy Trammell + Rubio who is designing the Music Row Roundabout 16 Story Apartments.

This is probably a repost of an old NBJ article from July of this year (I was travelling overseas then).. but it says Giarratana has backers for Sobro.  I just don't recall seeing this. http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/morning_call/2013/07/giarratana-lands-partners-for-32-story.html

 

John (L&C Admirer) over at Skyscrapercity knows Mr. Giarratana, and John says this will break ground before the end of the year.
