The West 46th complex (5 stories in front, 6 in back, with total of 171 units) at corner of Charlotte Avenue and 46th Ave. is nearly completed.

 

Wow! That is spectacularly hideous.

Consider the developer.

When I look at that West 46th building, I don't know why I start craving a hamburger. Still looking for the fiberglass statue of a cartoon boy in red-white checked bib-overalls out front. 

[CenterHill]

There's so much visual noise with that W46th facade it raises my heart rate.   I have to look away and breathe.   

I give it two seasons before the aluminum railings bolted to the plywood balconies start to rot and wobble.   

[nashvylle]

At least it has ground floor retail, unlike the apartment buildings next to the sounds stadium... Wow metro should have made ground floor retail a requirement.

You don't have to go down memory lane, it looks the same as new Wendy's restaurants.

[MLBrumby]

Yes... I've seen those Wendy's around Chattanooga. Of course, the photos by Markhollin immediately reminded me of a Frisch's. Even the logos are strikingly similar... and the shade of red.

I don't believe there is any retail space in the West 46th.

But they give you the illusion of there being retail!  I mean, why build a real deal urban building when you can build a pretend one?

[markhollin]

From today's Nashville Post:

Crosland Southeast has a secured a major permit for it mixed-use One Bellevue Place project. The permit is valued at $13.4 million and is for shell work of one of the development’s retail buildings.

Relatedly, a permit valued at $8.8 million has been issued for construction of a 12-screen multi-plex theater for Carmike Cinemas.

The address for One Bellevue Place is 8141 Sawyer Brown Road.

Given the pedestal construction I imagine the ground floor meets codes for retail use and the units fronting Charlotte can be converted as market conditions dictate. The Dallas on Elliston has a similar setup.

Corner Pub to open a location in The Nations 

http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2016/08/24/a-former-church-in-the-nations-will-soon-be-home.html

Also 12th South Taproom to open '51st Tap Room', a second location The Nations as well. Here is a snip it from the nextdoor.com site from Jeff Estepp. Location will be on 51st ave. between Illinois Ave and Georgia ave (next to what is now 'House' formaerly stone fox). Both buildings have been cleared and trees have been removed as well already.

^ ^ ^ Here's a pic of the former Centennial Hall Church at 1105 51st Avenue North that will be converted into the Corner Pub location in the Nations.  Over 3,000 sq. feet of space for upwards of 250 patrons, plus an 800 sq. foot deck will be added.  The structure was originally built in the 1950s:

Like that adaptive reuse of the church for The Corner Pub, even if it's not on a corner.

Since when is 7 stories a high rise? Also, the plan seems to be blocked and they're calling that "support for our neighborhood". Isn't that actually sabotage?

What kind of person would rather have an empty dirt lot in their neighborhood than a luxury condo building?  Yay, great job on holding your community back.  What a victory!  Enjoy your dirt.  Idiots.

Not since the invention of the elevator.

Yeah, and apparently everything is NOT up to date in that neighborhood of Nashville.
