445 Commons will be the name of the $123 million residential development next to GEODIS Park Soccer Stadium on the Fairgrounds currently being built MarketStreet Enterprises. 

The 6 buildings project's first phase on 2.6 acres, set to open in 2024, is slated for:

- 335 mixed-income residences (120 units dedicated to tenants earning below 60% of the median area income; at least 40 units dedicated to tenants earning below 80% of the median area income)

- At least 11,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space

- A 7,500-square-foot “micro-business incubator space” for “local makers and artisans”

- A nearly 500-space parking garage

- Amenities at 445 Park Commons are set to include a saltwater pool, club room, fitness center, dog spa and rooftop lounge with panoramic downtown views. Every common area will also feature work-from-home spaces, as well as a coworking center with private conference rooms and a coffee bar.

When complete, 445 Park Commons will span more than 1 million square feet.

Design firm Smith Gee Studio, landscape architect Hawkins Partners Inc. and civil engineer Barge Cauthen & Associates Inc. are all involved in the project’s design and architecture. R.C. Mathews Contractor is the general contractor, and Berkadia Commercial Mortgage provided construction financing.

For as much noise as was/has been made about the CBA and the non-profits working for them to be more common, this is why they are a good thing. Getting to even the 80% threshold (±$50,012/year) is a good win, but 120 units at or below 60% (±$37,509/year) is a huge win! Truly affordable housing only benefits the city. Clearly we are not getting to the levels for supply to drop the cost of housing any time soon and clearly developers are not willing to just include affordable housing in their developments overly willingly, so I would say the CBA is a huge win for the city.

Note - the annual income figures were taken from the 2016-2020 census of median household income equaling $62,515

So 6 buildings, say they average 300 units a building. We are talking 1800 more residences in a close proximity to a lot of amenities. Is that 160 total affordable units, or 120 total?

I hope the other buildings have the same ratio of affordable units. That would be a huge win!

@Bos2Nashgiven the backlog of permits submitted, could Metro incentivize developers to include affordable housing by saying their plans will jump to first in line if they include affordable units, or is that against state law, too?

I think I read that it's 900 units total (3 resi buildings), 1 hotel, 1 office, and maybe 1 other commercial.

Vanderbilt Univ. will undertake $20.8 million in renovations to Kirkland Hall (circa 1875) according to a newly granted permit. Completion is expected in spring of 2023.

The current upgrades will address ADA compliance requirements, flooding mitigation, a restoration of the roof and tile, stair work and a redesigning of restrooms to yield gender-neutral spaces.

I would think the state law may quash that. Essentially the law - how I understand it - is targeted at Metro incentivizing any form of affordable housing from a government standpoint.
