The big warehouse over on Morrow that is for sale is up for rezoning to mixed use now. 

Which warehouse? Corner of 63rd?

The price is 120 million. I knew it was a pretty hefty price tag.

Any form of air rights project is going to carry a hefty price tag. Just look at the Gulch Pedestrian Bridge (RIP), wasn't that a crazy price tag to get up an over the CSX tracks?

A flurry of apartment complexes being bought-up this week.  The most significant is The Knox (eleven 4 story buildings, 300 units more than 90% leased) in MetroCenter, which was just opened earlier this year.  G.W. Williams Co. has purchased it for $119.9 million, which works out to $372,000 per unit---the highest ever recorded for the Nashville area.

Does this portend further rent increases for apartments in Nashville?  Would seem so.

At some point things are going to have to come to a head as far as some of these price points go. Just saying things can’t just continue to go up, up, and up.

Sort of like the hotel valet rates. Most of the hotel rates are like 40 a night. Those are not too far off NYC prices. At some point folks will say thats just too much and the same goes for rents.

Of no relevance to the development at hand, but it cracks me up that just to the right of this frame, Old Due West Ave (which I think has actually been renamed to Skyline Ridge Dr sometime 2018-2019?) meets (West) Due West Ave at a T-intersection, where Old Due West Ave points Southwest and West Due West Ave points Northwest.

Chuy's going to O'Charley's Old location on White Bridge.

https://nashvillenownext.com/2021/10/29/chuys-mexican-food-to-join-raising-canes-on-white-bridge-pike/

This was on D Tracker yesterday, but I have known about this for a while, but was short on the details until yesterday. Not a surprise really. O'Charley's continues to struggle as a chain and probably will not survive. Chuy's took over the Brentwood location as well. O'Charley's has closed like 6 Nashville locations and I see more closing soon. 

As for Chuy's, it's a gamble as well as their food is not any better, IMO, and as a matter fact I think its probably worse. A lot of these chain restaurant just have no appeal to me personally any longer as the food is substandard as is the service. I look for the entire restaurant industry to be totally different in 10 years time. 

The same has happened to Shoney's as well as I don't think there is a Shoney's open anywhere in Nashville and the same is happening to Ruby Tuesday, TGI Fridays, and a number of other fast food and casual dining restaurants.

Here is an interesting item that popped up on Development Tracker Saturday morning.

This is a request to amend the West Nashville Community Plan from District Industrial Policy to T4 Mixed Use! Trust me I think I know a lot more behind the scenes here on what could be behind some of this, but the Nations is about to change for the better it appears.

Take a look at the scanned plan for the area involved and the application for the properties. Very eye opening!!!!!

Sorry guys everything is on the application……….

Agreed on Chuy's, not sure what the appeal is. We don't have any good Mexican "restaurant" options around here anywhere.

Interesting that this covers the Old State Prison.

A Metro Council member and a group of community supporters are one step closer to ensuring Bellevue's former Hutton Stone Quarry never becomes a landfill.

The Metro Nashville Planning Commission voted unanimously on Oct. 28 to recommend approval of a zoning change that would effectively block the site owners' plans to drain the pit and fill it with "clean" rock and soil from construction sites.

The land's owners are pushing for state legislation to nullify several local restrictions that would otherwise prevent the quarry from being filled.

The zoning change will go before Metro Council for its second reading on Nov. 2. If it passes a third reading, the new zoning will prohibit any type of landfill at the site, even if the pending state legislation passes.

Sometimes the plans are not available yet and I think that is the case here.

[Rlooper]

@smeagolsfreeyou are correct. The overlay is due to market conditions...  contingencies on real estate transactions for the time to rezone  are becoming more slim;  going with a wholesale overlay vs multiple SPs  will allow a developer(s) to close a lot quicker although its more expensive.  We can trade info.  Although you may know more than me.   

And... developers know Media in Nash is sophisticated and "on the prowl" they want to engage with the community before we find it  and release to the public.  I'm on a board so I've been told plans but try to respect their wishes and not share  prematurely.
