Awesome. I have also heard rumors of updated renderings for the project, is there any truth to that?

I'm sure there will be eventually.

This is crazy. 10+ years of pretty much nothing, and then all of this in the last two months. Let it rise!

Turner as a local office, it will be handled by their Nashville office.

The third tower is pretty much a done deal. It will be an 18-story, 4.5 star Intercontinental Hotel.

Alex Palmer: 18-story InterContinental Hotel at West End Summit a "99.9% done deal"

Quote:
Developer Alex Palmer is close to finalizing plans for an 18-story, 230-room InterContinental Hotel to accompany West End Summit's twin 20-story office towers.
The Nashville developer today said the deal is "99.9 percent done."
"We will sign a letter of intent today, and in 30 days we should be under contract," Palmer said.
The "four-and-a-half-star" InterContinental, which will sit between the two office towers anchored by HCA affiliates, will be Nashville's nicest hotel, Palmer said.
"Nothing will touch it," Palmer said. "It will hurt the better hotels in town."
The hotel should open a few months after the office towers in 2015.
Palmer described the hotel as "modern" and "cutting edge." A parking garage will make up the first 11 floors.
A luxury hotel has long been part of the project, which has been on the drawing board for a decade. In 2006, Palmer announced a deal to include a 285-room InterContinental Hotel & Resort at West End Summit. At one time the project also included condo units, which have since been scrapped.
Development of hotel will push the project's budget well past the previously announced $200 million mark.

Blasting has commenced on site with the first two early this past Saturday morning.

Think I like the older rendering better. But the new ones not bad either.

Yeah, so do I. I'm hoping that they'll release a rendering with the third tower soon, and it will magically end up being a completely different design.

Either way, right now they are finishing the excavation that they didn't finish the first time around. Hopefully construction starts soon.

I drove by the site yesterday afternoon to see what's going on, and there appears to be no activity at all right now. They were doing a lot of excavation a few months ago, but it looks like once that was finished (?) they packed up and left. There's a large pump in place, obviously recent, and the hole isn't filling up with water again, so hopefully that's a sign that crews are meant to return.

The updated (this spring after the HCA announcement) sign at the site says "Coming 2015", which seems like a long time to allow for construction, so perhaps this is just a scheduled delay.

Over in the general development thread, arkitekte commented he was worried Palmer was having more trouble getting funding; I sure hope that's not the case. It's hard to see how there could be trouble funding it, with tenants all lined up, right? At least for the office tower part; the hotel portion might be a different matter with all the recent announcements downtown.

The guys over on UP that really know what's going on have said that Palmer is having financial troubles. I don't understand it. 10 years and 2 or 3 major tenants and he still doesn't have the financial power to start construction. One mentioned however that he thought that it wasn't major, but I still don't understand how given the amount of time that he has had to acquire investors and sign tenants he still can't begin construction.

After all of the attention the project has gotten over the past 6 or 7 months we're somewhat right back to where we were other than the tenants signing.

If Palmer can't deliver the space by 2015, are the tenants allowed to break their lease?

Now Broadwest

WES has been reincarnated and brought back to life as another 2-tower proposal and renamed Broadwest. Propst Development, based in Huntsville, AL is financing the project themselves and groundbreaking is in the coming weeks. The office is proposed to open in December 2020 and the taller residential/hotel tower in 2021.

MODS, can we get a change of the title to Broadwest, 34 & 21 floor towers.

Excavation of the site is nearing completion, and allegedly there will be 4 tower cranes onsite simultaneously.

The first of 4-5 tower crane bases has been set as of today. 14 years after something was first announced for this site, we're FINALLY getting this going.

Mods, if we could get the title changed, that'd be fantastic.

This thread is seven years old, and this is the "NEW" West End Summit thread! lol

The time has come, however, that we can finally... *FINALLY* say...

MODS, LET'S MOVE THIS TO THE U/C SECTION!

The hotel portion has been announced today as a Conrad Hilton, becoming one of only 7 in the country when it opens.

The office tower portion now cresting street level, and the hotel/residential tower is about 3/4 of the way up to the street.

From the Broadwest Twitter feed...November 7, 2019.



For reference...


It's location as the gateway to Midtown....on the left. From a few months ago.


This one requires four cranes.
