The old church at 714 Gallatin is about to come down. There was a demo permit approved yesterday. They were to renovate it for the Mercury Theater or something like that and those permits expired. The property at 716 is also coming down.

I was expecting this. When King Solomon Gyros announced they were closing, I figured the old church and food shop would be for one development. 

Now if only they could grab the Walgreens and Lee Company Building and fix that Eastland/Gallatin Intersection, it would be wonderful haha

714 & 730 Main Street: Fencing went up a little while ago, but a drilling rig was on site this morning. My presumption is this is for a geotechnical report for structural design. 

Couldn't grab a picture, but this is the location from Smeag's development map

Building came down this morning. Didn't snap a pic (driving), but the excavator was actively cleaning up the debris pile on my way into the office.

The Six.O.Nine development (4 stories, 120 condos, 3.9 acres) slated for 609 Creative Way has been nixed, and the land is now up for sale at $3.9 million.  Developers Jeff Corbett and Michael Ellsworth originally bought the site for $365,000 six years ago.  This makes a 935% mark-up that they are seeking. 

This screen shot from Smeagolsfree's excellent development map shows the site highlighted in teal at the center of the frame:

Story Hermitage will be a six building, 4 story,  320 unit apartment complex on 17.45 acres at 4156 Central Pike, backing-up to I-40. Carter USA is the developer; Civil Site Design Group is in charge of land planning/engineering. No word on architect, and no renderings yet.

Envision Cayce's 5th & Summer (6 stories, 107 affordable  housing units, 120 capacity internal garage) has released details and renderings. MDHA is the developer; Gresham Smith is the architect. Another wee designed piece in the Envision Cayce redevelopment that seems to be working out quite well so far.  It will go before Metro Planning on Sept. 8th for approval.

I never ever know how this works at Cayce Homes. D Tracker has a huge chunk of land set aside and it never corresponds with what really gets built. land wise. This has always been so confusing, and I am pretty much giving up till each project is done.

Never any rhyme or reason to what Metro does when it comes to their own projects.  The site plans needs to correspond directly to the parcel involved and not the general area in red. I know it gives the corner on the site plan, but no other D Tracker items are like this. Only metro projects. They are SPECIAL!

800 Main Street has had core drilling on site a couple days this week. Doesn't really say anything is imminent though. This probably is geotechnical investigation that provides information to structural engineers. Does tell be the project is still active in a certain sense.

IMO this is absolutely ripe for a massive residential development.  The current use of storage is very low in income production for the owner and for a site under a single ownership, it is  huge,  Both Main and Woodland are major streets and the site already has eliminated the alley R.O.W.    The site almost borders the protected overlay of Edgefield too.   Proximity to the city park, the Turnip truck grocery,  bus routes and the huge lot size make this a huge opportunity IMO.  Further in towards town, I would not be surprised that the Catholic diocese will eventually cash in on their large property holdings as other churches in this area already have taken the money and run.

Hmmm, obviously this means they are going for some form of zoning change or at least a BZA type request. Looking at the zoning of MUG-A (current zoning) which allows 7 stories in 105' tall, but also has a cap of 3.0 in a Floor-to-Area ratio. Maybe they would like to get up to a 5.0 FAR which would require an SP or a rezone to MUI-A (that would be a decent lift on Gallatin). It may also be a setback request as MUG-A requires a step-back at 5 floors, but with the site being on a pretty big topographic change, that can impact a development alot (I am dealing with right now in another part of town), so they may be asking for a bit of reprieve from the step-back on one of the frontages.

@bwithers1 can you provide some insight in what at least the ask is (not asking for provide project details)

Update on 1000 Woodland Street (future home of Bar Taco and Edleys BBQ). Brick work on the Bar Taco slot is done (awaiting paint). Sheathing (green boarding) has gone up on the Edleys slot as well. They are also laying about 4' worth of gravel in the parking lot to serve as stormwater management before installing the permeable pavers.

The fact that we're getting single-story commercial in this location is such a gross under-utilization of this space

It's consistent with the character of the block and surrounding area. Not everything has to be the Gulch.

Nashville needs housing. It needs housing along and nearby transit. This would be a good place for that. Who said anything about the Gulch?

I did.  And Nashville doesn't need housing so much as Nashville needs affordable housing. It needs apartments that aren't "luxury" apartments and houses and condos that aren't bought up by out-of-town investors and short term rental slumlords. If what you're suggesting is that it would be better to have an extra story or two above the businesses for apartments, I agree. But I also know that it would more than likely end up being another STR hotel like the one above the Vandyke.

An extra floor or two (or three or four) above the retail is what I had in mind in keeping with the max height around the area. I also agree about affordable housing, but this still represents a missed opportunity. No housing is worse than some new housing which may turn into STRs (but may revert to long term rentals or condos at a later date), but that's another can of worms that needs to be addressed in legislation and enforcement.

550 Unit Condo Development

^ ^ ^ For those unable to access the link, the 501 Crutcher St. proposal takes up two parcels totaling 6.8 acres just SW of Envision Cayce and will entail 550 condo units.  No word on the height.

An SP for this site (501 Crutcher) as "approved with conditions" on 08/01 by Planning and now moves on to Council. No drawings or renderings were included in the plans filed with the city, but we do have some design parameters that any development will need to follow.

1. The uses allowed under this Specific Plan will be all those allowed under MUG-A-NS of the Metro Nashville Zoning Code.
2. The maximum height shall be 6 stories or 90 feet with no step-back required.
3. Use of the rooftop shall be allowed including elevated access points for stairs or elevators.
4. Short term rental shall be prohibited.
5. Architectural standards shall be as follows:
   • Building façades fronting a street shall provide a minimum of one principal entrance (doorway) and a minimum of 15% glazing.
   • Windows shall be vertically oriented at a ratio of 1.5:1 or greater, except for dormers.
   • Building facades shall be constructed of brick, brick veneer, stone, cast stone, cementitious siding, glass, or materials substantially similar in form and function, unless otherwise approved on detailed building elevations included with the preliminary SP.
   • Porches shall provide a minimum of six feet of depth.
   • A raised foundation of 18”- 36” is required for all residential structures.
6. South Fifth Street along the frontage of the property to be constructed to provide 45 feet of right-of-way measured from the centerline to the property line (one foot more than the 44 feet required in the MCSP).
7. Structured parking shall be lined with active uses or screening that closely mimics active uses.
8. Unless noted otherwise herein, the property shall be subject to the standards, regulations and requirements of the MUG-A zoning district as of the date of the applicable request or application.

550 is alot of units, but I don't think is out of the realm of possibility.

Yep, I knew this was recommended for approval. We will see if they can pull it off. My guess is they have done the heavy lifting and may sell to a developer that can get the project done.

[markhollin]

ZMX Inc. is planning a 2 & 3 story development with 4 structures featuring 168 apts. and retail space at 905-907 East Trinity Lane and 3013-15 Ambrose Ave. They have spent a combined $4 million on the parcels on which they plan to start construction in early 2023. FirstBank has supplied a $5.925 million loan to get things started. Catalyst Design is in charge of engineering and land planning. No renderings available yet.

It’s especially a lot considering they are condos. It’s great to hear though

Very true. That is if it actually stays that way. There was nothing in the SP that stated it has to actually be condos. Condos are quite complex to build and have serious legal ramifications which make them quite complex.
