This shot shows the satisfaction of Nashville's recently acquired density, AND the potential of much more at the same time. All that infill in Midtown, Sobro's new buildings, and still many surface parking/unused lots.

They're going strong on the renovation of Hunters across from 5 points (questionable photography I know). Looking forward to this one.

It looks like the Shelby Woods development (along Davidson Street before the entrance to Shelby Park) may be moving forward. They are going to metro planning on 8/10 for final site plan approval.

Up to 150 multifamily units, 16 town homes, and commercial space being proposed for 905 Cherokee Avenue.

Well that looks like a completely disappointing use of the space. What a wasted opportunity. The whole "Shelby Hills" area south of Shelby is crying out for a few little neighborhood commercial/retail nodes to add some neighborhood personality and get people walking around. A development this size could have been a transformative improvement if it was mixed use and had a layout friendly to foot traffic from 14th, Electric Ave, etc. Instead it appears to go right out of the gate as 100% car-centric, and will just carve out a secreted enclave of houses at the end of Village Ct that funnels all traffic into one entrance/exit, basically forcing them to drive everywhere. It drives me crazy that we're still allowing this kind of mono-zoned suburban layout like a mile from downtown. This is a perfect opportunity to extend and improve the grid and provide new amenities to the neighborhood. But why do that when we can add 40 secluded commuter mini-mansions?

Completely agreed.  What a mammoth disappointment.  Nashville just can't seem to shake it's suburban tendencies no matter how hard it tries.

Just imagine if the entire area north of the James Robertson Parkway Bridge ever becomes redeveloped for office, residential and hotels how much that would improve that view.  While I would love to see 20 and 30 plus story buildings in that area, I'd be happy to see commercial and residential density at any height to rid the area of the bland warehouse/industrial look it has today.  If the area had old industrial buildings like the Werthan building in Germantown, it would be so much better.  But most of the buildings are aluminum clad with no architectural value at all.  I truly hope the proposed River North project becomes fruition.  That'll do a lot to eliminate the look and feel that area has today.

I hope so too, and that it'll spur more development around dickerson Pike and Main, making the whole area much more urban.

That whole stretch of Trinity Lane will be unrecognizable (in a good way) in 3-5 years.

The development planned behind Studio 615 is almost the exact same way.  Very cut off and isolated from the rest of the area.  Not a fan at all.

Nashville-based Superior Development is eyeing a late-September finish for the first homes in phase one of its 17-unit Magnolia East residential project now underway in East Nashville.

Jason Lenard, Superior Development president, said phase one includes eight single-family homes, all to be completed by the end of the year.

Phase two will follow with an additional three single-family homes and six townhouses currently slated for completion in mid-2018

Do you guys see the land between the Jefferson St bridge and Woodland St bride (east of the river and west of I-24) being redeveloped anytime soon?  Seems like primo property for redevelopment...but haven't seen anyone mention this land.

 

[Neigeville2]

The piece with those tanks on it would seem like a prime candidate for not having things that blow up in the middle of an urban area.

I wish the MLS stadium could go where the TA Nashville business is.  But to answer the question, I have no idea.

[markhollin]

In the SE corner of that yellow area (between the river and South Second Street and Interstate Drive, with Main Street on the north and Woodland Street on the south) was purchased last year by the Monroe Group out of Chicago--the same developers that own all the land for River North).  My guess is they have made repeated overtures to the Trans America, Gerdau Ameristeel, Stadium Inn, Alley Cassety Brick, Cross Point Church, Todd's Auto Parts, Clarion Hotel, etc. folks and are not getting any takers. 

Theoretically, once development starts in earnest at River North and the southern tract, some of these property owners will see the writing on the wall and be willing to deal.  In the meantime, that huge tract, along with PSC/O'Neal Steel/CITGO Petroleum, and the Beaman sites are the three largest frontiers near the central core to be changed in the next couple decades.

Here is a screen shot from Smeogolsfree's excellent development map showing the tract that Monroe purchased just north of the stadium last year (shaded gray):

The KMart at the intersection of Briley/Gallatin is closing.  I know it would never happen but I wish the MM YMCA would move there.  

What are some possibilities for the site?

If the Gallatin Avenue Light Rail gets approved, I would think that could be a prime spot for a large mixed-use residential project since I believe there would be a train station right near that major intersection. 

 

[smeagolsfree]

That area where the K Mart is , is the terminus of the light rail and would probably be where the park and ride station would be. That could be incorporated with a mixed use TOD for sure.

Hermitage Flats will be the name of a new 267 unit affordable housing project that Elmington Capital Group is eyeing for an August start in Hermitage.

The Nashville-based company recently closed on the $1.8 million acquisition of a 10.6-acre site at 5636 Old Hickory Blvd. and on which multiple apartment buildings are slated.
