No official groundbreaking ceremony, yet, but erosion barriers and excavation equipment is on site and tearing up the remaining concrete and asphalt on site.
Suffice it to say, this puppy is a go.

I agree, we should get some pictures here to document the construction. I drive by there frequently, maybe I can snap a few shots periodically to add here.
It's going up at a pretty good clip -- I see at least two floors' worth of steel structure already. I'm excited to see another tall project (hopefully the first of several) go up in this area.
Thanks for the update. Have you noticed any changes to the sidewalk widths or if they're burying power lines? I can't remember, but where is the parking garage here if there is one?

I have not noticed anything about the sidewalks. But I would assume that they will bury the power lines for aesthetic purposes. I did not notice a lot of underground construction, so I am assuming the large base has the parking garage above ground.
What will be downtown Nashville’s most tony apartment building is reaching skyward, due for completion this time next year.
Developer Ray Hensler’s $80 million, 23-story Gulch project, tenatively being called “12th and Laurel” for its location, will one day draw per-unit rents of $1,400 to $4,000. For the price, renters will get a host of amenities, including a fine-dining restaurant and a fifth-floor community garden, saltwater pool and fitness center, all with hilltop views of downtown.

What you see in the pictures is he parking levels. Levels 1-4 of the podium is parking. You'll also have retail and a few apts on these levels on the laurel st side
Some glass appearing on the lower floors this morning. It actually looks slightly greenish, but that may have been a trick of the light from my viewing angle.
Maybe someone can snap a picture to post. (I am camera-free and schedule-unfree today or I'd offer to do it).
^I was just about to post that up over here but you beat me to it...
Looks like instead of this being a luxury high-rise apartment tower, we might see the first high-rise condo tower in years. Ray Hensler is talking about converting the tower originally designed and financed as apartments, into a condo tower. The article in the Tennessean states that they are already in the process of tweaking the design to create more two-bedroom units and add penthouses to the project. It says he will make the decision in the next 30 days or so.
Hopefully Hensler will go with condos for this. That potentially might show the need for condos, and of course it will provide the opportunity for more high rise apartments to come on board that would target the potential residents that would have rented here at 12th and Laurel.
