1010 Church St. will be a partnership between Tony Giarratana and the Downtown YMCA that will feature a 60 story, approx. 750' residential tower (Nashville's new tallest) of 500 units, and a 7 story, 60,000 sq. ft. addition to the downtown health club facility. Older portions of the existing Y will be demolished to make way for the new elements on the .9 acre site. The YMCA addition that was built in 2008 on the north side of the complex will remain and be open during construction. There will be 360 for-rent apts., and 140 condos above them in the tower. Goettsch Partners out of Chicago will be the architects. Work is set to get underway in January of 2023. The YMCA portion will be complete by June of 2024. The residential tower should be partially open by July of 2025.

The tiny, .21 acre lot on the SE corner of Charlotte Ave. (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) and 10th Ave. North is going to be developed into another high rise residential project by Tony Giarratana. He is planning to close on the purchase the site from the partnership of Lance Bloom, Charlie Jigarjian and Jonathan Krasner. They had bought the land in 2021 for $2.1 million. They had been rumored to want to build a "pencil tower" of at least 500' on the site. Knowing Giarrantana's style of larger projects, one can safely assume this will be at least 30 stories, and very well could be much taller than that. Currently, a one story, nondescript brick structure that once housed Otis Elevators is on the site, which is nestled next to the T.S.U. Avon Campus structure.
