Possibly the worst enclosed area of all of Middle Tennessee.

Could this potentially open the doors for Madison becoming the new Inglewood, in terms of development, if the tenants are something unique and desirable to those who live in Inglewood and East Nashville?

Possibly but I still think Madison has a little further to go than where Inglewood was 10 years ago (or whatever time frame you want to compare it to).

The A-1 Used Car lot at 1308 Dickerson Pike has been sold again, this time to St. Joseph Properties.  It appears another residential project of unknown size is being planned.

That whole Fern Ave area development has been amazing to watch. It’s been a pretty quick progression, so I’m curious to see how it spreads on Dickerson.

I'm curious as to when the commercial building at the southeast corner of Dickerson/Douglas gets redeveloped.  Kinda surprised it hasn't already.

Based off a beer permit application, it appears that Batter N Fried will be renamed Boston Commons.

Nashville State is planning to open a Madison campus at 1520 Gallatin Pike (SE corner of the former K-Mart parking lot). No word on what the plans are for the rest of the site.

Actually that was the wrong address. Its at 1520 Gallatin Pike N. Where the old Rivergate Toyota was. The article has since been corrected.

That makes more sense.  They demo'd that property within the last year and there is NSCC fencing up.

Well, that is nowhere near as funny.

TennFold will be the name of a new craft brewery/pizza joint at 2408 Lebanon Pike, 1/2 block west of the intersection with McGavock Pike in Donelson.  Edgar Pendley, co-owner of Urban Grub, is the developer of the nondescript 5,900 sq. ft. brick structure that was originally built in 2003.  The project will eventually employ between 50 and 75 part and full-time workers.

From what I understand, the owner of that building is the same owner of Hailey Salvage across the street, which has been closed for about 2 years. I’ve heard it’s packed to the gills with crap. I really don’t understand what that man’s intentions are. The salvage was a treasure trove, but the guy didn’t want to sell anything. I can tell you from experience (as well as confirmation from others that visited) that it was tough to purchase anything from that salvage yard. I once saw a wheel barrow with a flat tire and broken handle. I though I could get a deal, as I had seen the exact model at Home Depot for $100. I asked someone about price and they told me “you need to talk to the old man, since he’s the only one that can tell you what the price is”. I found him, smoking behind the front desk and he told me “$125 and that’s not negotiable”. I walked out and never went back.

This isn't huge development news, but two interesting projects in my neighborhood that will impact the intersection of McFerrin @ Cleveland.

The first item (blue outline below from Smeags development map) is the gas station and parcel that Ruby Ann's sits on is up for a re-zone, going from CN to MUN-A. I believe the owner of the gas station also owns the empty parcel behind it, so it will be interesting to see if it becomes a true mixed use development or a multi-family like The West Eastland across the street.

The second item (red outline below from Smeags development map) is a little more involved. The project (located at 725 Hart Ave officially) will go from an RS-5 to an SP zoning (second attempt by the developer), and will rotate the site's true frontage from Hart Ave to Cleveland Street. There is plenty that I am happy about with this project, but there are also some negatives about it.

Concept Elevation along Hart Ave...

Concept Elevation along Cleveland Street...

Proposed Site Plan...

Positives:

• Adding density along a busy corridor
• Sidewalk improvement is part of the plan and will integrate a planting strip (even if it is the only on on the street)
• Parking will be off the alley on pervious pavers for stormwater purposes (shouldn't get engineered out for stormwater and lot coverage purposes). Also very limited parking in an urban setting so less consistent traffic loaded into the area.
• Owner Occupied STR permits are the only permittable STRs. Won't be an investor property only.
• Front porches to create a sense of neighborly connection. 

Negatives:

• Very little open space. While the front porches are a nice touch, This level of density makes it hard for a development to create a sense of community. While the area is developing, two units rather than three would've gone a long way in helping with that connectiveness.
• Setbacks: With the lot turning its frontage to Cleveland, the old side yard setback of 5'-0" should revert to 20'-0" of a new rear yard. Looks like that won't happen, so a Landscape buffer should be implemented, but it does not show on the site plan.
• Design blends nicely with typical styles, but I (personally) would've liked to see a bit more variation in the design. (granted this is just concept)
• Hopefully ridesharing will default to Hart Ave. I am a bit concerned if a ride share vehicle just stops on Cleveland right there. People fly up it.

I hope the city follows up on things such as the pervious paver and bioretention because I feel like those could easily be value engineered out when all is said and done. The only thing that is really a deal breaker to me is the setback at the rear yard and no landscape buffer. Without that buffer, I feel like this project could be a sore subject for the neighborhood.

Amazon has been granted a $5.1 million permit for the rebuild of the structure at 2 Dell Parkway into a new 100,000 sq. ft. distribution center.   As mentioned last week, this will be their 6th distribution center in the Nashville metro.

There are a lot of projects proposed on this corridor and not much has happened yet. A lot of these developers are selling off their lots or just not developing yet. Some of these are 3 or more years old. Someone is going to have to be the first one to make it happen and the same goes for W Trinity  as well. 

Developers and banks are just afraid to invest heavily yet for some reason in some of these areas.

I remember Dickerson all the way out to I-65 being very very rough (euphemistically speaking). The rise of Cleveland Park and the new residences on Fern should help that stretch of road. 

Seeing that portion of your map, I wonder where the industrial firms are moving: Smyrna-Lavergne? Goodlettsville? Hendersonville?  My wife and I drove up to Mt. Juliet a few weeks back for a wedding and took I-840 to get there. I was amazed by the number of enormous warehouses that have been built along both sides of the highway in Wilson County. Is much industrial business out there? Rarely get over there, but it's beautiful.
