NASHVILLE | The Twelve/Twelve | 23 FLOORS

futuresooner · #1 Posted **Sep 22, 2012, 3:42 AM**

An apartment tower, NO PROJECT NAME YET, announced late last year has finally had a rendering released and more are expected as ground breaking is anticipated for the 4th quarter of this year as financing is now reportedly in hand. This tower will be the most premium in the apartment market with rates starting at $1400/month and up to and beyond $3500/month. The project is estimated at $80 million and will contain 312 units. This tower is half of the 12th & Demonbreun development with the north half of the lot a proposed office tower from renowned Nashville-based Eakin Partners with this building anchoring the 12th Ave & Laurel St corner. You can see the proposed office tower behind the tower. An update will of course be out and thread title changed upon project name being released.

I'm glad to see you started a thread for this. I'm excited to see this break ground finally and hopefully the SoBro also.

Will this one be taller than ICON in the Gulch? What about a retail component? This is really a great design for that corner of the Gulch. It's going to be awesome to see this one and the SOBRO rise at the same time.

It should be fairly close to the height of the ICON, maybe not even a bit taller but will look taller anyways because of it's location on a rise.

No mention of retail but the rendering alone you can see something there in the base. Also, given the location, retail/restaurant space would be a must.

Isn't Icon's height roughly 210' or so? I would think that with the rendering we have that this new tower would be getting close to 250'. The first four floor look like they could possibly be 15' feet each.

ICON is 251ft tall, so this'll come even or just slightly taller than the ICON.

Foundation permit has been pulled by the developer from Metro government. Needless to say, here we go.

Stained · #8 Posted **Jan 22, 2013, 3:08 AM**

I am excited for this one. That area has a lot of potential.

Look for some action within the next month. Project bid this week...

That's good to hear. Possibly an April or May groundbreaking?

Dale · #11 Posted **Jan 26, 2013, 5:44 PM**

SoBro next, please.

futuresooner · #12 Posted **Feb 13, 2013, 4:18 AM**

Word from reliable industry sources say groundbreaking either this Friday or the following Monday.

futuresooner · #13 Posted **Feb 22, 2013, 5:21 AM**

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.

futuresooner · #14 Posted **Mar 9, 2013, 5:23 AM**

Pillings and rebar for support columns already in place on site. They've wasted no time at all on this.

futuresooner · #15 Posted **Apr 20, 2013, 8:37 PM**

Tower crane sections have been delivered to the site. This can be moved to the U/C side now.

futuresooner · #16 Posted **May 8, 2013, 1:02 AM**

Tower cranes are going up now.

arkitekte · #17 Posted **Apr 20, 2013, 10:30 PM**

Let's get this thing rolling. It should be fun watching another tower rise in the Gulch.

Archee328 · #18 Posted **May 30, 2013, 12:06 AM**

Is there anybody here who travels past this development often and is able to take some pictures and post them?

EarthRocker · #19 Posted **Jul 12, 2013, 9:24 PM**

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.

Archee328 · #20 Posted **Jul 15, 2013, 4:41 AM**

I took a couple of pictures the other day passing by the construction site.

I took these on 12th Avenue
