Bumped to a new page b/c I'm adding multiple posts today. I haven't been on here much lately due to work.

Second post is Gulch Union Phase II, a 28-story residential tower, will break ground this month.

Developer Jamil Alam with Endeavor has led a team moving to Nashville as they ramp up their business here. https://www.bizjournals.com/nashvill...phase-two.html

As if there wasn't enough high-rise construction ongoing and in the pipeline, now the Tennessee Titans are likely going to start shopping for the potential of a new stadium versus renovating Nissan Stadium due to substantial price tag increases.

There is more than enough room around the current stadium on the East Bank for a new facility. It'll be interesting to see how things evolve but I'm willing to place a high bet a new stadium will be coming, quickly.

Here is the updated 2022 high-rise list. This is changing so fast as the building heights of some of these projects are going up and down on a weekly basis it seems.
We are still waiting on official building heights on many projects on the East Bank and Midtown. All of these projects are still in design phase.

Nice list. It's somewhat impressive.

Our new retractable-roofed stadium should be at least 170' tall. Titans want it to be open by the 2026 NFL season.

The Modera Mcgavock tower has grown as has the second tower of Gulch Union, under construction now. Also the new rendering for the Paseo Tower 2 has risen by 10 floors, for a total of 30 floors and a striking "diamond" design. Tower 1 is already underway. That corner of downtown is about to be very active with 5 more towers, 3 over 500'.

Per Nashville Now Next a proposed 30 story hotel and condo building is planned as part of the Paseo South Gulch project. This will be the second of the 2 tower project.

I'll still be surprised if this happens, but apparently there is movement with the plans to create a multi-use development on the north side of the Cumberland River (across from Metro Center) on West Trinity Lane. The plan has been watered down a bit. But it is still pretty substantial. From what I can tell they no longer have the bridges that were in their original proposal and the buildings in the rendering seem to be shorter. But, if this is actually built, it will be a major addition to that area of Nashville. One that would give that area much needed residential options, office space and retail.

If the Riverside project becomes a reality, I hope that city planners will look at ways to connect the East Bank across from downtown to Riverside. It would just make sense to have at least one continuous street, parkway or boulevard that spans between the two areas. There just needs to be away to navigate from the lower East Bank to River North to Riverside. Even if the Riverside development doesn't happen, there just needs to be some alternative routes other than hitting the interstate to go between Bordeaux and the lower East Bank.

Oh, and why not put a gondola lift system over the Cumberland between downtown and the lower East Bank?

nashvilleron · #**4193** Posted **Apr 14, 2022, 12:13 PM**

The problem with this project is the limited access to the property. There is only one road in and that is the W Trinity/ Buena Vista Pike. There is no Interstate anywhere close by.

There are number of large developments being built along the W Trinity Lane end and a number of smaller developments being built along Buena Vista. That is not to mention the projects that are being planned along Clarksville Pike.

Rush hour in the mornings can be difficult already with the school zones through the area and the intersection at Clarksville & Buena Vista is already very busy.
So, when you throw in 1.3 million Sq foot of office space and 3000 residential units spilling into Buena Vista Pike will be a nightmare. We will see what the community meetings yield!

Moderator edit - removed some political posts to keep the train on the tracks. Let's keep the topics to development, and everyone will have a much better time.

A new bridge over the Cumberland is proposed as part of the East Bank Boulevard:
https://www.bizjournals.com/nashvill...plication.html

I imagine that this bridge and roadway is going to have a similar characteristic to Korean Vets Blvd.

There is mention of an "autonomous vehicle lane", which seems like marketing to me. A streetcar/tram line in the median might make a lot of sense but not until there has been some build-out of the boulevard's surroundings.

nashvilleron · #**4196** Posted **Apr 20, 2022, 12:17 PM**

Here is the complete package for you folks to look at. https://nashville.legistar.com/View....5-42FA4363F9CE Remember this is a conceptual plan only. I spoke with councilman Withers before the news hit and he did emphasize that.

There are still a lot of unknowns at this point including how the new rail bridge would have to be built over the road accommodate it, but that may require a new rail bridge over the Cumberland due to the size and slopes of this bridge which could increase the cost.

The spine road will be elevated some 6' and act as a flood mitigation system as well. Remember the new downtown East I guess you can call it will be a 30 year build out with some areas such as the RMR project, GBT project, River North project, and Oracle probably being built out before 2030. The new Titans Stadium is still a work in progress at this point with the cost now approaching 2.2 billion.

There are other large projects in the works north of I 65 and I suspect the conceptual project in the Driftwood area may gain some ground if this come to a reality as this will open up access to that area. There is also another large project planned on the East bank just east of where the bridge lands and another just to north planned.

I also suspect there could be a new interchange built at I 24 close to where this project would intersect. At least maybe an onramp as Fessler's would act as an off ramp as it is now.

nashvilleron · #**4197** Posted **Apr 25, 2022, 12:43 PM**

In other news the State of TN has approved 500 million toward a new covered Titans stadium for the East Bank. This is in addition to the 700 million the Titans organization is kicking in. https://frontofficesports.com/tennes...itans-stadium/
It remains to be seen how much the Sports Authority/Metro can or will contribute to the 1.9-to-2.2-billion-dollar project. There is also a special hotel tax that has been approved on top of a district tax for the East Bank District that will be built that will be in the neighborhood of at least 2 billion dollars.
The covered stadium is expected to generate around 15 more events a year.

That is correct. The new bridge under the current proposal that would have to be built would be somewhere between 1st street in the Interstate.

The new road will have an elevation of around 6' which would require the elevation of the tracks to be raised quite a bit. The height of the current bridge is 14'1", so it would have to be raised to at least 22'. The standard height of an overpass now is 16' plus the 6' is 22'.

Then if the grade is too much over the distance, then the old bridge will have to be taken down and replaced. That bridge is well over a hundred years old as well.

There is always more going on in these mega-plans than what is advertised. I have to wonder if the new roadway is being designed as a track for the Formula 1 auto race.

Also, I wonder if the invented need for a new railroad bridge becomes an excuse to add vehicular/pedestrian to its replacement. It's in line with Ellington Parkway, so this could be a way to finally unlock the capacity of that chronically underused roadway. You can, of course, cross the river from Ellington on either Jefferson or whatever the bridge is that takes you to the state capitol area, but those routes each have traffic lights. It's inevitable that the area around the Capitol Mall will be redeveloped, and every bit of increased access that can be created will help.
