Ashland City to get Highrise Condos?

[nashvol85]

I just saw on the news plans for a 10-12 story luxury condo development on the Cumberland River in Ashland City. It looks like 2 towers (maybe, couldn't tell)...the project has a marina incorporated in it (already under construction). The project is supposed to be about $50 million.

Do you think it will go through? Could this type of thing work in such a small town?Would it work better in a place like Gallatin (on the river)? Clarksville?

I would think Clarksville would be doing something like this before Ashland City, but hey it doesn't matter to me where they build them. I think its great news for Ashland City if they get built. They would be a big feather in the city's cap as far as prestigous investment in residential development goes.

When you think about it, Ashland City is a mere hop and skip from downtown...15 minutes maybe? It's beautiful out there, so I see no reason why not. I'm sure Nashville workers will occupy the place. I love the countryside. I do remember getting pissed off when I saw a Wal-Mart sitting on what used to be pristine land. I hope this doesn't become the norm for Ashland City, that part of the county needs to be left alone imo.

Just thought I would do an update on this project. Work has started here on this. The big project right now is to put a 100' wide canal from the river to prep for the marina. Here is the link for the project. I hope I do this right.

I couldn't find a rendering on the project... is that the correct link?

My God...the pigs are flying and the fat lady is singing loudly these days! I never in my life thought I would see urban development PERIOD, much less high rise condo development taking place in Nashville's suburbs. I am truly astounded. This will no doubt begin a trend for the rest of the suburban areas. This single project is, in my opinion, almost as good of news as all the projects going on downtown put together at least in the sense of the overall progression of urban development.

^ I'm suprised Ashland City is getting this size project too, but I think its great they are. I really wouldn't call Ashland City a suburb though, its pretty much its own seperate entity IMO as the county seat of Cheatham Co with a good distance of land seperating it from Nashville.

There is not really a rendering or the project, just a rough drawing on the web-site. It did however have a master plan for the site. There is also a large sub-division going in on Bearwallow road just past the old Wal-Mart. I think these are called Hidden Lakes and the homes are going from the 250's to the 500's. I got a price on several lots and they are going from 40 to 50 grand each.

Just a side note to this. One of the real funny things to happen here was the fact that the Ashland City FD was going to have to purchase a ladder truck in case of fire. There was a rift between the city and the county over this but it was resolved.

Here is the rendering of the project. I hope I do this right. It never seems to work for me.

Wow!!! I REALLY like the look of that Marina! It would look great on the East side of the river in Nashville in my opinion....

[Hankster]

Whoa! That project looks huge! It's hard to believe something of this scale is being proposed for little ol' Ashland City.

Pretty snazzy. The land there is beautiful and the river areas are very cool. Let's do some more of these.

Soft groundbreaking set for this week. They have had to move a lot of dirt for the marina before any construction could start.

I will try and get pics as this project goes up. I think they have a construction camera as well.

From the CP today.

This was delayed for some time due to dredging and environmental problems in the river. But I guess they have worked that stuff out now.

An article from the Ashland City Times this week. 72 units have been reserved along with a number of the boat slips.

First phase of condos sold out per the NBJ: Does this bode well for Cumberland Harbor? Are people buying here instead or is there enough demand for both projects. Just food for thought.
