Nevertheless, there will still be second-guessing in East Nashville until the sign goes up on the building.

The new buyers need to make an appointment to meet with me about their potential plans.  Just saying.

A proposed mixed-use project by Woodland Street Partners spanning 2.4 acres at 930 McFerrin Ave./907 West Eastland Ave (incorporating dead space between existing homes  along Seymour Ave. on north, McFerrin Ave. on east, West Eastland Ave. on south, and butting up against Ellington Parkway on the west) is still sitting in limbo.  Metro Planning Commission last week deferred indefinitely a request for the land to be rezoned to mixed-use instead of just residential. Smith Gee has been enlisted to help with the design. 

The development would include 6,500 sq. ft. of retail/office space, and 15 micro-units  of residential, and 22 cottages. No renderings have been released, but there is a diagram.

From the article: “The investors, operating as LYN Gallatin, remain in the “due diligence” phase of their contract and are still deciding whether to go forward with the project. “The property does come with some challenges,” Leibowitz said. Within the next month, the group hopes to decide whether to continue or drop its purchase contract, Leibowitz said”

I give it a 40% chance of happening. The property was under contract earlier this year, but that fell through because the buyer couldn’t make the numbers work.

Metro Planning Commission has OK'd the rezoning of 110 One Mile Parkway in Madison for a 21.81 acre Dry Creek Station development that would feature 442 multi-family units, 46 townhomes, and 2,500 sq. ft. of retail space. GrandPrix LLC is the developer, and Catalyst Design Group will be working on planning.  No renderings at this time.

Madison Square Shopping Center at 721 Gallatin Pike is up for sale at $30 million.  The sellers are Tom Corcoran and Jim Maddox, who had planned a massive mixed-use project on the 33 acre site that includes 331,000 sq. ft. of retail space.  Corcoran and Maddxx apparently still want to be involved in the redevelopment concept, which originally  entailed 3.75 million sq. ft., 1,000 residential units.  Things stalled for them when the mass transit plan that would've included a light rail stop next to the mall was voted down by the public last year.

YMCA planning new center in East Nashville.  

The East Nashville Margaret Maddox YMCA location has more than doubled its memberships since 2013, from 5,218 to 11,343 people.

Officials with the organization are in talks with the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency to partner on a new location in that area to absorb increasing demand.

The facility would be at MDHA's Cayce Place mixed-income housing development near Historic Edgefield and Nissan Stadium, off Shelby Avenue.

A Y would be a great addition to Cayce. All the new apartments are starting to reshape the area, but until there's more stuff to walk to it's not going to really feel like a new neighborhood.  The Tennessean article mentions that a grocery market and health clinic are supposedly in the plans, I wonder if that's actually going to happen.

@arong You are right that a neighborhood is made up of more than just housing.  That's pretty much what Cayce is today.  And that is why we did a Community Plan Amendment around 2016 to allow mixed uses along the western portion of the campus closer to South 5th and also in select "corner commercial" locations along the new central park frontage.

Adding the new school inside the campus will be a game-changer, but mostly (although not exclusively) for residents with children.  But we are hoping to get started on the new East Nashville Library branch next door to the Kirkpatrick Park Community Center soon. 

I am also excited about the potential to add a YMCA branch to the Cayce campus along South 5th Street to continue bolstering the redevelopment of privately- and publicly-owned land along that corridor in the form of a Complete Street.  The YMCA would add not only gym membership offerings beyond what the Kirkpatrick Park Community Center can offer, but it could also provide additional services to the community and of course, job opportunities that Cayce residents can walk to.  The same is true of the Davidson County Sheriff's Office HQ that is under construction: it will provide at least some job opportunities, partnership opportunities with the DCSO in terms of mentoring programs and things of that nature that Sheriff Hall already supports, as well as the car trips that are necessary to entice a full-service grocery store.  Adding a YMCA branch on South 5th Street would help to make the Envision Cayce Master Plan desire for a full-service grocery store at 5th/Shelby a more viable proposition.

The health clinic that is referenced is the present Neighborhood Health clinic, which we really need to relocate if we are to continue to the street grid as planned and construct the 11-acre park.  Neighborhood Health owns their parcel and building outright, though, and so making it work to move them to another location on the campus is a challenge.  I personally believe that they would be more accessible to more people if they were included in a shopping center or mixed-use project alongside the grocery store at 5th/Shelby.  But that is a ways off in the future.

There is still talk of adding a commissary or smaller grocery market/food prep site somewhere near the new Nashville Public Library, but that is far from a done deal at this time.  The Nashville Public Library Director and staff are quite interested in creating new jobs-training and business incubation opportunities at that branch location.  But stay tuned!

The 2 story, 27,800 sq. ft. office structure on 1.13 acres at 350 Dickerson Pike (just south of the I-65 interchange) has been purchased by Tyler Cauble, and he plans on a complete revision, and naming it The Ellwood.

Renovations to the building will include updated elevations, signage, common areas and restrooms, and customizable floor plans for future tenants. An early 2020 finish is eyed for the update. The cost to undertake the effort is not being disclosed.
