Yea, that's what I found this morning looking at the permits too. What a waste of real estate. Gas stations should not be allowed on corner parcels. Sorry , GBT needs some bad press on this one.

Unfortunate that we will be getting a gas station along this stretch. At least the parking and pumps are all at the rear of the building and the building is pushed up to the street, also the access directly from gallatin is at least aligned with the street grid. Also the entire parking lot with the exception of the gas areas are all pervious paving, that is going to be a very expensive parking lot haha. It also appears that Hair World has a platted ingress/egrees easement at the south end of the property.

I agree whole heartedly that this is a waste of the site and really wish GBT would've bought hair world and done something with the two combined parcels, but such is life. Gallatin is definitely further along than Dickerson, and everything can't be ideal i guess haha.

I am starting to wonder if the Urban Planet group should just overthrow the council and planning dept. and do things the way they ought to be done. You know I jest but it sure would feel good to let us run the show for four years and make unilateral decisions. 

Of course the citizens would hate us and hang us from the highest tree!

[CandyAisles]

It's entirely possible that the Hair World owners simply aren't willing to sell now at any cost.  The gas station could be a stop-gap until they can consolidate at a later time.

[downtownresident]

At least it addresses the street and leaves the pumps in the back.

Charleston’s Greystar Real Estate Partners has revealed project details for Elan Rivergate, a 396-unit community at 110 One Mile Parkway, according to Metro Planning Department documents. The 22.4-acre site, which sits northeast of Nashville, comprises four land parcels. Drawings show 16 three-story buildings. No land deeds had been filed with Metro as of this morning.

^ ^ ^ A bit more info:

- This was formerly the site of the proposed Dry Creek Station development.

- Dwell Architecture is handling design; Kimley-Horn is in charge of land planning/engineering.

- Metro Planning Commission is scheduled to review Elan Rivergate's design plans at its May 13 meeting.

Thought you’d have more to add.  Just place marking.  The thing I found interesting was the article noted how fast the northeast section of the county is growing. Does one of our fellow formers know how fast it’s growing?  I’m so unfamiliar with that area of Metro.

Looks great, with the exception of those ugly power lines and ancient street lighting.

Underground power lines were not feasible and so yes, the power grid is above ground. MDHA actually had to pay a significant amount to upgrade the power supply for most of Lower East as part of this project. The new decorative street lighting looks good in the places where it has been installed. That may be the norm once the entire campus is built out but that will be a decade at least.

The decorative poles on the left look great, I was referring to the lights attached to the poles on the right. Unfortunate that they couldn’t bury the lines here.

Tyler Cauble, Matthew Taylor, and Colin Bros. of Austin, TX have finalized the purchase of the 33 acre Madison Square Shopping Center for $18 million.  They secured a $10.8 million loan from Verbank to help with the purchase. Their plans are to convert it into Madison Town Center. The site has been approved for buildings with a collective 3.75 million square feet, including up to 1,000 residences.  Will be interesting to see if this new group will go that extent with their plans.
