Davidson Southeast: Antioch, Century Farms, East of Brentwood

I stare at that everyday while I'm at the gym. I like what they did with the wire mesh on the parking garage outer face. Gives it some depth, so it's just not a flat wall or big empty holes.

There has been a huge transformation going on along the South Street corridor (just to the south of the I-65 inner loop) running between 8th Avenue South over to 15th Avenue South, including the other east-west running roads of Hawkins Street, Sigler Street, and Southside Place.  These approximately 12 square blocks have seen unprecedented residential construction in just the last year.  I estimate at least 50 homes/duplexes going up, and at least 15 more lots have been cleared.  Part of the appeal is the closeness to downtown, the relatively inexpensive cost of lots (at least a year or two ago), and some magnificent views of the skyline.  

Looking west across I-65 at the area from Ft. Negley Blvd:

 

Looking south from 26th floor of The Westin Hotel.  I-65 runs left to right immediately behind the Fairfield Inn in the Gulch, and the neighborhood I am spotlighting is just on the other side of the expressway:

Some samples of the brand new or under construction homes.  I'm not much of a fan of all the boxiness, but some of them are fairly interesting.

Look at some of those houses having sidewalks already that is nice. Walking distance to the gulch/midtown doesn't hurt either!

^Nashville is a pretty city

Makes me wish I still had my little house I owned two blocks south of all of these newly constructed homes on South Street in the Edgehill / Music Row area.  Can't imagine how much more I could have made from selling now as opposed to 5 years ago.

You rarely see a wholesale replacement of an entire neighborhood all at once like this - in any city.   It's incredible to watch.    

[PaulChinetti]

I think it's funny that some people (not to broadly generalize) in these neighborhoods (within 440 especially) always thought their neighborhood wouldn't change even though they are so close to downtown and close to major interstates and such. 

I don't know if it's like head in the ground thinking or just not being able to see the big picture.

most of those are so ugly though!

Really?  I'd live in any of those and be happy as a clam.

All these finishing is gonna be a boon for business within a few blocks and also a disaster for those people trying to walk places. 

I think all this dark gloomy weather lately has made me so negative on our lack sidewalks haha

Antioch will soon be "the place to be."

Is that gigantic white wall facing the car dealership eventually gonna be covered up by another building?

[VSRJ]

^ I was wondering the same thing. There's also a concrete "tower" jutting up from the parking garage on the other side (for a stairwell, I'm assuming). That whole side of the garage is exposed and sticks out like a sore thumb when driving south on Franklin Pike (from 8th).

Aerial Innovations uploaded a short video of The Chelsea which features some nice shots of the building and surrounding area.

Development on Archer St., from the vantage of Rose Park.

I imagine parking will be an adventure.

Oy!  I hope they all have those garages underneath them.  

But fantastic views!

Looks like the garages are in the back along the alley, the way it should be!

From today's Nashville Post:

Nashville-based developer John H. Eldridge III has presold all 17 units in his soon-to-open The Row at 12th S in Edgehill, a mere 54 days after the effort began. Eldridge said residents will begin moving into their new townhomes in April.

The average unit sales price was a bit more than over $470,000, he said. The home sales prices range from about $400,000 for the 1,300-square-foot units to about $600,000 for the 2,300-square-foot homes. The average price per foot was about $270 per foot.

Seven of the homes front 12th with five addressing both Summit and Argyle avenues, respectively. The 12South commercial district is located a few blocks to the south.

Eldridge said the quick sellout is especially surprising due to the time of year. “Typically, we see a sales slowdown during the holiday season,” he said. “That — paired with some reports that our market is starting to cool off — made the rapid sellout a very pleasant surprise, reassuring us that our market is still very much thriving.

Eldridge's E3 Construction Services LLC is the owner/developer and has served as the boutique infill project's general contractor. Eldridge enlisted rootARCH to handle the design. Alex Brandau of Keller Williams is the exclusive offering agent. Planters Bank of Clarksville provided construction financing.

There is so much empty space back there. I've always wondered what is going to happen with that lot right in front of them, it was clear about 2 years ago the nothing happened.
