I went to their website and it said 4-10 weeks free on select floor plans. Maybe the ad was mistyped.

That makes a lot more sense haha!

Looks like they are dismantling the billboard that was right outside JJ’s.

Does anybody know if there has been any word of what will be going up on this block? Are they just clearing it for surface parking right now?

I would drive down West End/Broadway a year or so ago wondering why the building boom missed this grand boulevard, but now look at it!!!

I included the Greystar development as it is less than a half block off West End. There is also the low rise, university gothic buildings at Vanderbilt going up but not shown. I only showed mid to high rises.

...and don't forget Vandy Tower!   : )

I full well expect to hear announcements this year from Highwoods on the Tennessean property facing Broadway, as well as GBT's plans fro the Firestone Store site.

I expect Vandy will continue the collegiate Gothic architecture... BUT it would be nice if they mixed in some more modern styles along Broadway. I hope they keep the green space on the inside of the complex and keep it urban at the streets surrounding those properties. They already have more green spaces than most urban campuses.

Question: Do they own the 2-story building where Wild Boar was (is?). Haven't been there in 25 years, but I remember the food was good.

Maybe all this could be a catalyst for a reimagining of West End into a true marquee boulevard with wider sidewalks featuring large trees, planted borders, etc.  Sort of our answer to the Champs Elysees or the Mall/Constitution Hill in London.

Agreed!  I know saying this is damn near sacrilegious to some folks, but I would love to see a nice planted median with buffers for crosswalks and turning lanes just at cross streets (if we aren't going to put light rail down the middle,) wider sidewalks, fully functional and safe crosswalks, and maybe even decorative street lamps all the way to I-440.  That would help cement it as Nashville's grand urban Avenue and encourage pedestrians to take back what has always been more or less a defacto expressway.

They're actually adding more green space by eliminating most of the parking and some of the streets in the Greek area. The "RC" buildings at the top are the new residential colleges, RC-A currently under construction, that front West End.

Yes. I was referring to the proposed Graduate Housing campus.

The grad housing will fit in with the neighborhood. Don’t expect anything tall, though.

[MLBrumby]

Not expecting height, at least nothing over 7-8 stories based on their west college housing under construction.  How much commercial (if any) will be included in the project?  Will there be any family apartments? When do they plan to release renderings? Any other details you can divulge?

Belcourt Village (4 stories, 10,000 sq. ft. retail, 24,000 sq. ft. Office, 28 residential units. Underground garage) update. Starting 3rd level of garage.

No final decisions have been made on any of that, yet, as far as I'm aware. They are certainly looking at alternative arrangements that are not currently available on the private market to meet a variety of student needs.

It was announced as a Martin's Barbecue, but the fencing was up quite a while ago and it appears nothing or little has been done.

I go past it a lot, there seem to be workers there every day though I'm not sure what they're doing.

After a nearly 3 year delay, the 4 story, 12 condo unit at 119 Acklen Park Drive in West End Park is finally getting underway.  It will be the first to two on the lot.  A permit for $1.53 million has been landed.
