I'll try to make a trip up to Nashville here in the next few weeks to take some construction photos. I took quite a few pictures a couple of weeks ago in the photo thread I posted, but not many construction photos other than the ones of the east bank developments (on the previous page) and the MCC which I put in its thread in General Developments. I should have planned better to be able to take more pictures, but I only had a day and I had to get back home. I'm only in Nashville one or two days a month either going to Preds games or visiting friends and family, but next time I am in Nashville I'll make sure to take a number of construction photos.

Here's a pretty crappy last second shot of Pine Street lofts that I got when I was leaving the Gulch. This will be a nice project when completed.

With the Omni Hotel about to get to street level I assume someone in Nashville will be keeping us updated on it every few days.

Can't wait to see this project complete.

Elliston 23's tower crane is up and the site is definitely moving.

Omni Hotel's southeast corner has busted above street level.

Archee328 · #**406** Posted **Feb 2, 2012, 3:39 AM**

Wow! I have been looking at the construction camera so I did not even realize it was above street level yet! Gotta drive past there soon.

The small, less than 2 square miles city of Berry Hill is gaining more apartments and retail on a site that proved critical many years before. Berry Hill is located along Franklin Pike where I-65 & I-440 intersect and is experiencing fairly solid growth, and it is all infill. The locals know this site as the abandoned theatre across from The Melrose Pub.

surprised noone has mentioned this seeing that it is huge news for the city of nashville. of course everyone remembered opryland theme park. well now there are plans to build a water park and snow park that may eventually lead to a full theme park in the future. the water park and snow park is phase 1 of the project that will take up just a portion of the 114 acre site across from gaylord opryland hotel and convention center across briley parkway. the water and snow park is slated to open by 2014 and designs have not been released yet. if this project becomes successful, the addition of a dry park with roller coasters, etc is not ruled out. here is just one link reporting the news:

i dont visit downtown as much as i used to seeing that i am on business trips for half the week but next time i go down, i will try and take some pictures. speaking of berry hill. i was in that area not too long ago and ive never seen that area so busy since the second opening of 100 oaks mall back in the late 90s. that area sure has bounced back since then.

arkitekte · #**409** Posted **Feb 6, 2012, 10:12 PM**

^I saw this a week or so ago and decided I would wait a while before adding my two cents, but a snow park?? seriously? I'm guessing they're going to run the snow from November thru Feb/March and the water park from April thru Sept/Oct.

This is gonna turn out like a Yee Haw Dollywood.

On the other hand it should make some good money, I just wish we could have a full scale theme park similar to a 6 Flags.

A person from another site has picture proof that core drilling has taken place at 206 & 220 6th Ave North. This is the site for the Nashville City Center garage. Unfortunately this does not include the surface lot fronting Church Street.

Here's the permit from 2008, and look under "scope of work".

Updated rendering for West End Village.

futuresooner · #**412** Posted **Feb 8, 2012, 6:28 PM**

The former FYE site, 2400 West End as it's called right now, is currently fenced off and demo should happen in the next few weeks. A I've said before, this is to be a Homewood Suites hotel.

^^^Not a fan. Bland design, and really, it appears to be an urban building in name only. I hope I'm wrong.

I like how they seemed to stretch the rendering to show depth when in reality the lot is far from very deep. It is a fairly tight lot so it'll probably wind up being more dense than shown.

Same thoughts here, but at least it will be infill. Maybe it won't look too cheesy.

Just announced this week as quoted from the actual developers website:

"oneC1TY will be a multi-building, mixed-use development that will cater to the healthcare, life sciences and technology sectors of the global economy – all of which are growing dramatically. It will create a space for those industries to connect with higher education, research and development, and other related disciplines in a collaborative, interactive campus near the center of Nashville’s urban core."

http://www.onec1tynashville.com/about/

This development is right off where the 28th Ave connector project is being built with HCA Centennial Medical and Baptist Hospitals are located. There was an article in The Tennessean regarding this as a potential major medical hub once built out comparing it to Seattle's South Lake Union in terms of potential and also how valuable that land is if it were to turn into a medical research and office space. I do believe someone mentioned this a page or so ago but just noticed the article in the paper today

BTW guys if ya are ever in Nashville look me up and we can talk about the city. I grew up here and ALOT has changed since I can remember, ESPECIALLY in the suburbs around Nashville. If you need my contact info message me

Give it several years for this development to turn into a theme park. After all this water / snow park is just phase 1 of the project. They mentioned that adding rollercoasters and a land park, etc is not ruled out in the future

This may be the best time for Nashville to start a true theme park. The closest competition from a full theme park was in Louisville with Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Due to Six Flags' brankruptcy a couple years ago that park has been closed. A lot of the infrastructure is still there, but I believe Six Flags sold several of the rides so opening it again will take some time and a pretty large investment.

True, although Nashville is too close to St. Louis and Atlanta for a Six Flags I think a theme park would thrive in Nashville. Something like Opryland or Liberty Land but on a larger scale. Its a full weekend for Tennesseans to drive to STL, ATL, or Cincinnati for a theme park.

However, I don't know how well a water and snow park will last.
