Just walked that street Saturday and feels like your walking through a rendering. Very nice. Ate at Pharmacy Burger too. Very good.

At the Inglewood Neighborhood Association meeting last night the new proposal for the NW corner of Riverside Village  (Riverside/McGavock) was discussed.  Unlike the first plan, which was presented in Feb '17, this plan was well received -- in fact, surprisingly, there was very little push back. 

One of the big concerns with the first plan was that the zoning would be changed on the lots on Riverside to allow the higher density (townhomes+microunits) and, while the developer promised to only rehab the commercial strip on McGavock, he could pull a bait and switch -- getting the higher density on Riverside and then razing and rebuilding something big on McGavock. This new plan fixed this with a new SP for the entire site.

Residential:

-- 32 apartment units including a 3-story building of 400sqf units, as well as 5 buildings of 1 + 2 bed units
-- buildings will have Tudor aesthetic with some stone and hardy board
-- 8 foot sidewalk 
-- courtyard with rain garden
-- permeable pavers will be used

Commercial:

-- entirety of building fronting McGavock will be Moto Moda from Barista Parlor folks -- featuring pizza + coffee
-- parking along McGavock will be replaced by sidewalk + landscaping
-- Bailey+Cato building will be razed - eventually maybe office building, but gravel for now

Hopefully I got all this right

Heard that the El Fuego owner/operator has submitted or will submit plans for a deck on the Northern side of the building facing the railroad tracks.  Also heard he has leased the lower level and would like it to become a salsa/dance club.

I really like this and am glad they are still moving forward. Does this mean that Fond Object will be leaving the corner spot?

Yesterday the Board of Zoning Appeals approved the sidewalk variance and parking variance request for Hubba Hubba Tiki Bar project at 912 Main Street.  I supported both variance requests.  This project is a lease agreement for an existing building and lot that could use some reimagining.  Powell Architects is working on designs.  The team presenting the concept is the owners of Crying Wolf on Woodland.  We have some cool adaptive reuses of otherwise nondescript buildings coming in the pipeline along that portion of Main/Woodland between 9th and McFerrin.

That is correct. In the first plan FO would have moved into the Baily+Cato bldg and the strip would have had a pizza place, a taco place, and additional retail. This plan is just Moto Moda.

Thanks for the update!

Do you happen to know anything about the Citgo at 5th and Main? It was reported some time ago that there was a contract in place to sell the gas station.

Orange Theory was issued a $425,000 building permit yesterday for their new location at 1214 Gallatin Ave (retail in front of old Wal-Mart Market). T-Mobile is the only other confirmed tenant, but they have yet to pull a permit. The loopnet listing for this building was recently taken down, FWIW.

Some modifications were made and approved in the design and site plan for Boscobel II residential project (Phase 3 of the Envision Cayce plan) by MDHA Design Review Committee today:

I went onto Loopnet and noticed that the parcel that has Battered and Fried, Drifters and the building behind Drifters (?) is for sale as one parcel. Interesting....

That worries me. Those are two of only a handful of family friendly restaurants in the area.

Gerst House property (.67 acre at 301 Woodland St.  between Woodland and Main, hugging the west side of I-24 innerbelt) is up for sale for an undisclosed price.  Has already had several offers. Prospects include those who would assume the existing building and re-open as a restaurant to those who would scrape and redevelop the site.  The current structure that housed the restaurant was built in 2000, and haas no historic significance.  

One would think the Monroe Investment Partners would be most aggressive in getting this land, as it would complement the huge swath they own just to the west between Main and Woodland on north/south, and Interstate Dr. and South 2nd St. on east/west.

^ Crappy part about this property is that since it’s almost completely surrounded by parking lots and the interstate it’s pretty isolated, for being in the center of the urban area. I suppose if it was developed as residential the views of downtown would be pretty good.

Sprouts Farmer’s Market had a booth at TomatoFest this past Saturday, and I spoke with one of their representatives about their plans to open an East Nashville store within the Hill Center Greenwood development. I left thinking that it is not looking good — she stated they are still doing research on demographics, etc. (something they should have done before any sort of announcement, imo). As this project seems to keep getting delayed, I have a feeling that the main tenant will no longer be Sprouts.

Publix was once considering this site for a new store, but that fell through in 2007 or 2008.  They seem to be expanding within Nashville’s core (8th Ave S and Capitol View) with smaller urban stores that require less of a footprint, so maybe they are reconsidering this site? Who knows, but it will be interesting to see how this all takes shape. 

Also, the newly renovated Aldi at Eastland is open and they did a great job!

Thanks for sharing that.....I wondered what is taking so long for this to move forward. I assumed it was because the new Youngs Fashions building wasn't quite finished yet. I guess maybe there is more to it. I would not be upset if it was a Publix though.

[smeagolsfree]

I have heard the same thing.

[Pdt2f]

Aww man, I was looking forward to a sprouts on the east side. I moved from Bellevue to Madison like a month after sprouts opened last year and fell in love with the place. Now it’s just too far to drive often.

Gee, glad they managed to drive away several local businesses, including a beloved neighborhood restaurant, while they figure stuff out.

Still kinda miffed on how slow progress can seem on Gallatin Pk.  Feels like you have so many people with disposable income in this area, and it's only getting more dense, that anything you put on that drag would print money.

Yes, this one is a mix of townhomes fronting the streets with apartment buildings built into the hill.  I presently have legislation to abandon an unbuilt alley that exists there.  The project as proposed includes construction the western terminus of Dew Street at South 6th. 

[smeagolsfree]

Bret, have the apartments behind these been announced yet? I dont recall seeing the renderings for those yet.
