Haven't seen any updates in quite some time, but anyone have any info on next steps for the Lincoln Tech development? Even checked the Lincoln Tech site and it doesn't list anything of them finding a property to move to or anything. Live near there, hoping for some good development news. This stretch of Gallatin needs some change.

It is still working its way through the entitlements process. The SP was conditionally approved by Planning Commission and is now set to go before council. They are also still working through the elimination of the District-Major Institutional overlay for the surrounding area. I have also heard that design is ongoing in the background with designers and ownership. 

If I am remembering correctly, the purchase of the land is contingent on the re-zoning going through, so the college probably would not be posting anything beyond what they have already posted until that is finalized.

Thank you so much for that info! Really hoping the redevelopment happens.

This project is on the March 7th council agenda.

They could hypothetically pursue a 5 over 2 approach. That approach works very well and could lend itself to a great, possibly even affordable (GASP) model. 

The biggest concern that could come up about this site is its accessibility to the 56 inbound. Crossing Gallatin is a very dangerous endeavor and Pedestrian infrastructure would need to be elevated in the area. The hill is very blind coming over and folks FLY in this stretch between Douglas and the new(ish) Publix light. Definitely don't need another traffic signal, but a HAWK signal could work at the north end of the site adjacent to the church property. Could also provide a nice connection to the retail directly across from the site (Dentist and urgent care specifically)

This could be a nice case study for a project like this one that was just recently approved in Boston, MA. This is a carbon neutral building that offers 40 units of housing with affordability mixed in. Utilizes CLT technology and has zero parking. The site on Gallatin lends itself to more units as it is a bigger site, but it could also be a similar size and offer more open space plus additional retail. 

As for access to the #56 inbound, this location is steps from the signalized crosswalk at West Greenwood where there is a brand new WeGo bus shelter that was installed as a condition of the Hill Center Greenwood development.
 

This general area of Gallatin has a light and signalized crosswalk at Douglas, McKennie and West Greenwood and so crossing Gallatin in this immediate area is easier and safer than perhaps  any other section of Gallatin. 
 

Previously H.G. Hill Realty had envisioned a five-story apartment building here. I don’t recall any ground-floor retail in that proposal. But there is no lack of ground-floor commercial space in that vicinity.  There is a right of way dedication requirement for the Gallatin frontage so any building would step back from the street a little bit but not too much.

Does anyone find it odd that a hospital wants to locate an ER at 1000 Dickerson Pike next to the new 255 unit residential property at 900 Dickerson Pike? I feel like the developers at 900 Dickerson Pike & 903 Dickerson Pike would be livid that a loud ambulance stop may be located next to their brand new investments.

I thought the density was going to have a great amenity with the bakery there on Dickerson Pike & Whites Creek Pike in Cleveland Park.

TriStar Healthcare Inc., has plans to build a $21 million freestanding emergency department at 1000 Dickerson Pike. The property is owned by prominent Nashville attorney Aubrey Harwell with an appraisal value of $372,900. The building is currently home to Shugga Hi Chicken and Waffles. The restaurant could not immediately be reached for comment.

If approved, the proposed 11,900-square-foot emergency department would operate as a satellite facility of TriStar Skyline Medical Center, according to the letter, and would feature 11 exam rooms, one trauma room, a lab, an imaging department, a nurse station and support spaces.

These small, free standing ER locations cater to minor emergencies from individual patients, they’re not for the ambulance trade.

I think it's too short for a garage and provide active use along Gallatin (which would be a requirement).  So 5 stories of apartments would need the garage.  Here is CandyAisle's super crude massing o' fun.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but I don’t recall seeing it. These are the renders for 10th and Fatherland. It’s on the agenda for March 15th Historic Zoning Commission meeting.

Honestly love this location. On the #56 route, easy access to downtown. Gallatin is begging for some height along the Pike. Demand will only rise with ongoing development and the light rail that will probably show up in the next 2 decades.

Can already walk to the grocery store, urgent care, dentist, pharmacy, bank, coffee shops, bakery, zoned elementary school, charter school, Orange Theory, Eastland Park, The Wash, the new Eastwood Green, the future SLC development at the Diesel College.

Does anyone want to put together an investment group for this site (working title: UrbanPlanet Investments - Nashville Greenwood, LLC aka UPING) ?

Could go with maximizing units and cheap surface parking like Studio 79 did just up the pike, or...

Design slightly higher-end for a car-light lifestyle... Thinking things like:

• Additional soundproofing along Gallatin and Greenwood
• Family-oriented floorplans on those corners - smaller bedrooms, maybe some 3br/2ba units (would love if Nashville copied Seattle's legalization of single-stair buildings up to 6 floors - would unlock some cool floorplans)
• Limit the residential parking to 1 spot per unit
• Cap the parking garage for a courtyard & amenities catered towards families (may not be economical?)
• By keeping the investment local, could prioritize neighborhood-building rather than chasing large chain commercial. Could to do some smaller commercial/retail/F&B units to recruit local flavor to contrast with Hill Center Greenwood's strategy?

It appears that the former Pawn Shop building at 801 Gallatin (NEC Gallatin/Seymour) will be renovated into a Bank of America branch office. That makes sense given that the Inglewood BofA branch at Gallatin/Stratford closed and the ATM at 800 Main will have to be relocated when that parcel is redeveloped.

I gave that to WW in permits last week but he has not done a permit patrol in forever. He running behind.

Sharing information from  Donelson area council representative Jeff Syracuse’s Thursday Facebook post:

The former Jack in the Box at 2381 Elm Hill Pike is being replaced by a Dutch Brothers Coffee.

The former Jack in the Box in the Jackson Downs shopping center is being remodeled to become Doublz, a breakfast, burgers, and more Southern California mini-chain. Their locations out west all operate on an 8:00am to 11:00 pm schedule. 
 

Also coming to Jackson Downs, Starbucks, and, according to local rumor, a mattress store, both in a new structure currently under construction.

A new Hilton Garden Inn will be built at 124 Music City Circle, in the Music Valley area north of Gaylord Opryland.

Opry Mills is getting a T. J. Maxx, and a Bubblicious (bubble tea shop).

Here are renderings and a diagram for the 10th & Fatherland townhome project (3 stories, 19 units). Richland Building Partners are the developers; SGS is the architect. They will go before Historic Zoning Commission on March 15th for approval.

That's such an attractive design. But didn't I see it recently here?  I don't frequent any other development site.
