They will tear the Shell down and rebuild I think, if memory serves me. I think I remember that from the transaction and WW talking to them.

No building permits have been issued yet and I have found no mention of who the architect or GC will be.

I wonder if this project might finally be moving https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/article/20985428/townhomes-eyed-for-the-nations

There was a sign up when I went by yesterday that I don't remember seeing before and looks like they got a demo permit back in November.

I know the parcel and have wondered why it has not started. Red Seal is doing a number of projects around town in a little more desirable locations. This location is OK, but is a little separated from the rest of the Nations.

With the project at Clifton & Indiana, it looks as if things are shifting back to the East as property is a little cheaper for a rew months anyway. I think the area around the tracks and in between the Nations and John Henry Hale homes ( I think that is the name) may start to fill in now.

Having a Mapco on the inbound side of Charlotte would do booming business with morning rush hour (whenever we get back to a real morning rush hour).  I wouldn’t doubt Mapco’s interest in having convenience stores in both locations.  

There's a Mapco at 43rd and Charlotte on the same side of the roadway, though. It's had work recently too, they rebranded it back from a Delta Express I think in 2019.

The 51st and Charlotte lot is larger and has more traffic volume and visibility so perhaps that is a target for relocation.

Back in my hometown, there are two Mapco's across the street from each other.

There are places like that on Nolensville road as well.

Is it me, or has this been the SLOWEST project in recent memory?

I don't think they are in any particular hurry to finish and open during the pandemic.

From an attempt to make a reservation via their app I've learned that rooms are expected to be available at this location after May 15, 2021.

Wow! What a surprise/upgrade for that shopping center.

Edit: They’re going to have to put another traffic light at the entry to the shopping center. That’s a tricky exit as it stands now. 

[smeagolsfree]

The Stein Mart building would come down. Now all of the representations above are concepts. The final height has not been decided yet.

It would work better if they would redirect their traffic to the Target signal or to Post Place. Target is technically a separate parcel (although in the same subdivision) but Post Place is public right-of-way. Adding a signal at the existing entrance would put it only 400 feet away from the Post Road / Post Place signal and 500 feet away from the Target signal, which is way too close on both counts.

Agreed. They may need to make improvements within the shopping center to direct traffic out through Post Place. Best scenario to direct traffic away from there would be to make it a right turn in, right turn out only intersection.
