Looks great but those wood panels are going to look like total BUTT in about a year.  I see it all the time.

You have to specify the HIGH quality stain and get a good species of wood.  Nice stain is expensive so my guess is that you are correct.  There are good applications of wood cladding around town that have been up for years that still look great...just few and far between.

The circa-1900 church building at 1700 Fatherland St. has been purchased by artist management company Q-Prime South to be converted into office space for the company. Parts of the building cover 2 floors, and total sq. footage is 10,384.  A permit worth $1.48 million has been issued for Metro Construction Rehab to do the updating.  Centric Architecture is handling the design work along with McKeithan Design.

Exposed and/or distressed wood paneling like this is going to be that design trend of our era that everybody looks back on and wonders what we were thinking. I feel like it already looks dated in most applications.

[MLBrumby]

The dry stacked stone look was popular around here on buildings, restaurants and houses about 15 years ago. Now it looks pretty dated to me.

Crews have fenced the Greenwood Village site where they are renovating the old Hobson UMC and building new houses.  Work has been picking up steadily at the site this spring.  Greenwood and Chapel.

Interesting. This is off Royal Parkway

I knew this was out here somewhere but could not remember where. Is the Cambria next door to it still under construction or is it completed?

 

Same company is doing both.

Yes, Cambria is still u.c.  The Avid Hotel is farther along.  I have posted some other pics of both of their progress over the past 6 months on this thread.

Yes, as Mark said, it is still u/c but looks like it was topped out

The view from Oakwood Park

If you've never been to Oakwood Park I recommend it as they recently updated the playground, basketball courts and signage.  There are wooded hiking trails that loop around the park and at the top there is a beautiful open field where all you can see is sky and greenery.  There is also an abandoned baseball backstop up there that I wish I knew the story to as it's clearly been there for decades.

District 8 Council Member Nancy VanReece made that Oakwood Park improvement a top priority in her first term and worked with then-Mayor Megan Barry to fund it. It is a little bit out of the way but is a great resource for that neighborhood which had been underserved.

Hopeful this gains traction, this could be an awesome spur along this stretch of Gallatin

There were several East Nashville items on this month's Metro Historic Zoning Commission meeting agenda on Wednesday https://www.nashville.gov/Historical-Commission/About/Historic-Zoning-Commission/Meeting-Information/2020.aspx, including some of the first house plans to replace houses lost in the March 3rd tornado.  The plans submitted for 1901 and 1903 Russell very closely approximate the original historic houses that had stood there.  That's not a requirement but is welcomed in the aftermath of the tornado. 

The agenda also included a new mixed-use infill development at 307 S 11th Street https://www.nashville.gov/Portals/0/SiteContent/MHZC/docs/2020 Meetings/05_20_20/SR 307 S 11th St with drawings.pdf which is currently a gravel parking lot behind the restaurant/retail buildings that face Fatherland including the new Wild Cow location, etc.  This proposal is by the same architect who worked on the Fatherland District/Shoppes At Fatherland, etc projects for the same property owner.  I worked with that property owner to rezone this parcel from CS to MUL-A base zoning recently in anticipation of maintaining the mixed-uses that are encouraged by the MDHA Five Points Redevelopment District land use plan http://www.nashville-mdha.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2015-3-16-Fivepoints.pdf once that redevelopment district expires at the end of this year.  The staff had recommended disapproval of this project but it was approved by the Commission at Wednesday's meeting.

In other East Nashville news, Mayor Cooper's office has worked with me to prioritize repair of the Holly Street Fire Hall and that repair and restoration work has started this week.  Quite a bit of masonry repair is needed, and scaffolding has been erected this week.  Once the masonry repair is completed the roof replacement can begin.  We are fortunate to have as-built drawings on hand so that the restoration effort can work off of those existing plans.  It will be a relief to get that building repaired and reopened.  I appreciate Mayor Cooper's support on this priority project.

The Metro Historical Commission and I are continuing conversations with YMCA over the status of the YCAP building, which is an historic church building that was badly damaged by the tornado.  We were able to arrange a site visit to tour the building this week. There is quite a bit of debris inside the building that needs to be removed in order for structural engineers to complete an assessment and so more time is needed to complete that assessment.  This property already has mixed-use zoning and so I believe that it would be a strong opportunity for adaptive reuses should the YMCA or another potential owner seek those opportunities.

My understanding is that East End United Methodist Church congregation is continuing their structural analysis and reviewing options for that property, whether retaining some of the original structure or having to rebuild completely.  A determination has not yet been reached at this time.

Thanks for the update! Do you know what the plans are for the church at the corner of 16th and Fatherland?

It appears that repairs are underway or will be soon. They are probably still working through insurance, which can take a while.

East End United Methodist Church (1212 Holly St.) is currently being evaluated for repair/reconstruction, which should begin in early 2021.  much of the original structure was built in 1907.

The church is using project management firm CapEX Cumming, EOA Architects and EMC Structural Engineers. Each company is locally based, with the development team determining what physical components of the historic existing church facility can be salvaged and which features need to be incorporated with new design and construction.

Both EOA and EMC are great groups! Glad to hear they are involved on the project.

I have had that location marked on the map for two years, ever since it first went on LoopNet. I really think rates are going to take a drop as more STR's go back into the market, like the Stay Alfred units in the 505. 

[MLBrumby]

That should be good for the prospects of affordable housing in the city.
