^ How exactly are those oriented?  It kind of looks like there was a multi-car fender bender, but with residential buildings.

The Soho House, a London-based boutique hotel chain and private members-only club, is looking to to take up space in the May Hosiery redevelopment.  It is not certain at this point if the deal is finalized yet.  Now details on the amount of rooms, location on the site, renderings, etc. at this point.

This is an overview of the entire May Hosiery site:

Speedway Motorsports has struck a deal with fairgrounds racetrack operator Tony Formosa that paves the way for NASCAR's return to Nashville and for weekly racing to remain at the venerable short track.

Terms of the agreement between Formosa and Speedway Motorsports were not released, but both sides confirmed the agreement allows Formosa's already-established races to continuing running at the fairgrounds. 

Discussions centered around NASCAR Xfinity Series race and a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at the fairgrounds.

It remains unclear how soon races may start at the site.

^^Good deal.  Don't know if Nashville will ever get a Cup race here again...but if this helps to upgrade the site and keep NASCAR interested, that's a good thing.

And with the acquisition of ARCA, NASCAR could have a large presence in the city (until the mixed-use residents complain and the city shuts them down ).

Metro should pick some boundaries around the area around the mall, rezone it all for low-level urban development, spend some infrastructure money, and allow it to evolve into a walkable town center area for Antioch.

[markhollin]

Tennessee Concrete Association is requesting rezoning of the 1.87 acre site they own at 700 Hamilton Ave. in WeHo from industrial to mixed-use.  Metro Planning will consider the option on Jan. 10th.  Smith Gee has been hired to help design the new development.  No renderings available yet.

At least two of those developments have been announced for a while and are on the map. I have to check on the LIV site.

I don't care if they rezone it for high-level urban development. It still wouldn't be "walkable".

The only way to make Hickory Hollow "walkable" would be to nuke it and start over.

 

Next thing you'll be saying is to turn Maryland Farms into a walkable town center for Brentwood...

Twelfth and Wedgewood (3 and4 stories, 175 units) update.  First floor above ground level underway for Phase II.

So that screenshot has me wondering what the latest developments are regarding the derelict Greer Stadium site. Should we expect that this view will remain for the next few decades? Or perhaps the next mayoral round will bring it back to the table?

it's going to be demolished and turned into a park for Fort Negley. 

[PaulChinetti]

Mayor Bailey recently set aside a million bucks for demolition of old Greer. After that it's anybodies guess, with the historical and archeological significance of the site, I doubt any development besides parks happens on it.

[SoundScan]

Cool, thanks. Is there a timeline for that?
