Davidson West: Bellevue, Bordeaux, Green Hills, MetroCenter, Nations, N Nashville

60th and Morrow (5916 Morrow) joins the growing family of grayscale buildings, plus the inexplicable trend of decorative rust that would've worked better on Centennial. The architectural equivalent of ripped jeans?

And something I'm much more excited about - a crew has been going down Morrow and installing new sidewalks! They started at Georgia Ave and have moved northwest, replacing the sorry half-sidewalk that used to run there and get narrower/more overrun by grass and mini-landslides until it completely petered out by Michigan. They've made it to the segment between Michigan and Kentucky, where the first half up to the alley used to have no sidewalk at all (pictured below), while the second half already has a modern sidewalk thanks to Kenrow Corner. After that, the only remaining gap will be Kentucky to Tennessee, but that's going to be the toughest, with large brick mailboxes, large tree trunks, and fences where a sidewalk on this side of the street would go. Not sure what their plan is for this, but hopefully they won't leave the one-block gap. From Tennessee onwards to the end of Morrow, there are good sidewalks on both sides of the road; my hubNashville request to realign the crosswalk across Morrow at Tennessee so as not to lead straight into a giant electrical pole is still open, but hopefully they will address that as well.

There was not a lot of info on D Tracker about this one and these apartments seem to be now sprouting up all over Davidson County. I am going to be way behind on the map guys as I am without a computer and cannot easily update the map either. So I am going to need some help updating the Development Map!

I believe the location is highlighted in teal at the center of the frame from the screen shot of Smeagolsfree's excellent development map:

I own one of their units at 2Aves, many of the residents with flat roofs have had leaking problems already, I was told by one of the sales team that they are "never going to do flat roofs again"... LOL

This is amazing!! I hope they continue this trend elsewhere in the area.

One thing for you folks that live in the Nations; the Industrial parcels that are at the SE intersection of Briley & Centennial are now listed on LoopNet for sale. A total of 28 acres and again all zoned industrial.

I think this will continue to stay zoned industrial as it would be a very difficult area to zone for RS4

https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/Centennial-Blvd-Nashville-TN/23939419/

Speaking of RM4 there are almost 3 hundred acres up for rezoning on Hwy 12 just off of Briley on the right from AR2 I think it is. The RM4 which will allow for multi-housing units to be built here.  This will really make the folks at Lewis Country Store go crazy.

A request to rezone from AR2a and SP to RM4 zoning for properties located at 4539 and 4608 Cato Road and Cato Road (unnumbered), and Ashland City Highway (unnumbered), approximately 1,000 feet west of Amy Lynn Drive (290.14 acres), requested by Dale & Associates, applicant; James R. Overby, owner.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago on the Metro development tracker when it first popped up. It's not like land is at a premium out there (well, not any more than anywhere else). Plus Charlotte will be widened to 5 lanes there in the next 10 years or so.

That is a bummer, I was hoping we'd get a grocery store there.

This includes the current Living Earth site at 6401 Centennial, right? Sigh, I liked being able to take over my yard waste anytime to be mulched instead of having to wait for the quarterly pickup.

Also seems to abut the West Nashville Wrecker lot and is across Centennial from Southern Recycling, notorious for their exploding propane tanks early in the morning that feel like seismic activity.

I agree, having a really hard time seeing how this site would be attractive for anything other than industrial use ... but then again, I felt that way about the other industrial lots on Centennial, and evidently people are willing to pay top dollar to live right next to all the giant oil storage tanks.

Major renovations being planned for the Green Hills YMCA:

- A completely reimagined Frist Teen and Family Center will feature movable walls, a commercial kitchen, and other improvements that allow the Y to provide high-quality programming including educational enrichment, an art lab, maker spaces/STEM classes, small groups,  etc.

- A new obstacle course area and other newly renovated spaces will create an unplugged environment .

- A new, state-of-the-art outdoor fitness terrace—the first of its kind for the YMCA of Middle Tennessee—will provide a relaxed and refreshing natural setting for individual training as well as group classes. 

- Our new Universal Locker Rooms—featuring all-in-one private stalls, private changing rooms, open-air lockers and sinks. The new areas will feature direct access to all of the Y’s aquatic areas and pool deck.  

-  A main arterial hallway connecting the front and back of the building alongside the gym will offer better access, flow and sight-lines to wellness spaces, workout studios, and the natatorium. Additionally, a new stairwell will be added that connects the first-floor and second-floor fitness areas and provides better access to the indoor track.

The Nations Auto Sales lot at the corner of Charlotte and 51st (across 51st from the Ferrero Rocher Regions Bank and Coco's) seems to now be empty. Anyone know if there's anything interesting going in its place?

Saw a sign on the site the other day saying some sort of food truck was coming soon.

Yeah, saw that too! I didn't snap a photo but I believe it said something along the lines of "Zydeceaux Kitchen" (definitely not sure about the spelling, but I recall it starting like Zydeco and ending like Bourdeaux). Sounded like Cajun food. Whatever it is, it's more interesting to me than the used car shop. That intersection has so much unrealized potential ...

Looks like demo permit has been issued for old Watkins property in MetroCenter. That project, combined with the numerous other multifamily projects in the area, are poised to completely transform that area. And also hopefully make it safer.

Environmental Abatement will handle the demo courtesy of a $125,000 permit.  Still not many details on Chartwell Residential's plans for the site other than it will entail about 350 units in numerous structures over 2 phases.  Still no renderings.
