500 West Trade (14 story apartments on site of former Polk Building)

Building Height and Floor # should be added to the titles at the same time we do this.

I second that notion.  Only problem is that Northwood Ravin (NR) hasn’t released building height information on this 14 floor Apartment Tower.  Getting that would take someone on here being able to access the actual building permit/plans from the City/County.  I haven’t been able to do that.

 All I know is that this (14 floor - Uptown) will be under 200’ in height - probably closer to 160’ or 180’ max.  The apartment tower (16 floor) NR is building in Ballantyne should be right around 190’ to 210’ tall.   The Panorama Tower (Office/Hotel) in Ballantyne is 14 Floor but probably will be in the 195’ to 210’ mark.  Ballantyne could have two (2) 200’ towers by this years end.  Crazy.

Anyway - If someone is able to get the building plans and shows 200’ or taller then also Wikipedia needs upgrading.

This one is 168' to the roof (just under the "500" address marker at the top per the plans), probably 178' or so to the very top.

I know a lot of people hate this building because of what was there before, but I can’t wait to see what retail moves in. The corner restaurant space looks huge. Two story tall ceilings. I’m really hoping for a mid level restaurant like Haymaker. The gateway area could use some better dining options.

How’d you get the plans?  Accela?

I have a feeling this will look great though it took away such a beautiful historic structure.

At least something taller than Cityview is going up here. The sooner they wall in that thing the better.

Yeah. You know I do wish that something along this street had more of a presence in the skyline. I love how FNB is stretching the skyline West, but nothing else really does. And even this at 14 stories high is like the tallest along the uptown strip off this street on this side from the stadium to the loop on the north side.

I do too, but I hope it doesn’t block my beautiful patio view in gateway. I know one day it will happen.
