Disappointing...but I also took from the article that the hotel will go forward as planned and begin construction sooner than later, and also that they are still deciding what to do with the remainder of the lot. So hopefully we'll at least get a condo tower out of it or something.

The latest NBJ article corrects the initial Tennessean report that the office tower was scrapped and indicates that it may come later. I suspect Turnberry really just wants to get the JW Marriott underway while they look for potential office tenants since they've partnered with Colliers International to market the office space.

http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville...r-next-to.html

"On Aug. 10, The Tennessean cited an unidentified spokesman as saying the office tower had been scrapped. In response, a public relations firm for Turnberry sent the following statement, attributed to chairman and CEO Jeffrey Soffer:

'Our immediate focus is on development of the JW Marriott Nashville tower. In addition, we remain open to a variety of options for the office tower parcel and will be considering those as we move forward with development of the site.'

In response to follow-up questions, the managing director of that public relations firm would only say that Turnberry "remains open to development of an office tower on the site."

Turnberry's decision to place the office tower on hold a disappointment. It would have been nice to see both the hotel and office tower go up together and the visual impact of both. They've left some uncertainty regarding the plans of the site beyond the hotel. Which leads me to wonder if plans for another office tower in the CBD might be a factor. Although I don't recall any such announcements other than for Bridgestone.

The Emery project at the former convention center is the only one I can think of. Not much word out of that, lately, though I'm sure they're working hard at it.

Eakin is u/c and Gulch Crossings recently opened. There's a fair bit of new Class A stock that will be hitting the market, though a lot of it is spoken for (like Bridgestone, HCA, and parts of Eakin).

I've read that it is difficult to finance a large spec office tower -- it's not as safe of a bet for lenders right now as hotel or residential.

Turnberry's limited experience with office might also have played a role. It wouldn't surprise me if they later announced that they are planning to develop it as residential (may be a bit early for another big hotel). Or they may just sell it off.

There's also the 305 ft. Michael Hayes tower on 1st. Street across from the new amphitheater.

Forgot about that.

Yeah...and as ariesjow pointed out on another site, Turnberry clarified their position: the office tower isn't scrapped, but delayed. Basically, they're opening up the idea for other possibilities, but they aren't ruling out office.

Exactly, and as another poster pointed out, I don't think we have to worry about them leaving the lot vacant or as a parking lot simply due to the fact that it'd be damn near impossible for them to make enough money on their massive investment if they did. They paid a lot of money for that huge swath of land, so they're going to want to maximize it.

I agree with the above statement as well. I was just really liking the idea of the two building concept going up at the same time and the impact it would have had on the skyline. Hopefully they won't be downscaling the hotel portion. I can see adding a residential component. But the size of a residential building might be heavily impacted by demand as well. Not to mention a 22 story residential building is not as tall as a 22 story office tower, so the impact is not as great.

Edition Hotel

Potential Edition Hotel coming to The Gulch. The site is directly north of the Thompson Hotel and across 11th Ave from The Velocity.

^Thanks for posting this over here, futuresooner. This lot is almost like the center piece of the Gulch and this design is right on point for it.

Nashville getting an Edition Hotel would take us into some EXTREMELY exclusive company. They're currently open in New York, London, Miami Beach, & Istanbul. Coming locations are 3 in China, Bangkok, West Hollywood, Bali, Abu Dhabi, India, and a Times Square location.

This was apparently posted in 2014 on the Vize.com website and gives no other information regarding construction.

However it is common knowledge that developer Mark Bloom has been pursuing a quality hotel brand for that site for some time. He even hinted at a 4 Seasons once. The use of Tuck Hinton as architects to prepare such a polished (expensive) rendering and the website 'Hotel Chatter' revealing of talks for an Edition Hotel in Nashville suggests there may be something to it.

It would really be the focus point of the Gulch.

You all don't think this might be the site where the future Canopy by Hilton is going, do you?

From the Nashville Business Journal...

The rendering is mine and reflects no inside knowledge as to the actual design. It is intended to give a sense of scale and location relative to downtown. The light blue sketched structure represents the proposed building.

This is 30 blocks from downtown and near several other completed 12 to 10 story buildings which serve to create a continuous 35 block long skyline for Nashville along the West End/Music Row corridor.

The renderings and name have now been revealed...



Another week, another building!!

Buckingham has proposed a 38-story, SOM-designed residential tower for the sliver lot across from ICON and Terrazzo in the Gulch.

Great height, but I'm reserving full comment on the design until more renderings are released. I'm a bit skittish on the detailed pieces, like the materials used in the non-glass sections of the structure.

Wow...looks like a beauty to me! If you're gonna do a glass box, do a glass box that looks like that.

On top of that, In other news, this six story, 326 unit apartment complex called "The Olmsted," is being proposed for SoBro:

http://nashvillepost.com/news/2015/8...hville_project



Also there is this 291 unit complex that is beginning construction on Eastland Ave. in East Nashville:
