The Carroll Companies have paid $7.6 million for another 76 acre wooded plot along I-24 that will feature 550 residential units at a cost of $72 million.  This is just south of the $1.7 billion Century Farms development. Just 2 years ago, The Carrolls paid $3 million for 30 acres off of Murfreesboro Pike for a 339 unit project involving apartments and townhomes which has not started yet.

Went to a charette for the WeHo/Chestnut Hill neighborhoods last night at Trevecca. 

Here is an image of the Chestnut Street Complete Street Ideas that the planning departments was getting residents opinions on. For each zone, they asked you which was the most important in each zone. This was just a warm up, they had a lot of great maps printed out. I couldn't get any pictures as everyone was browsing them.

The results of the charette is on Thursday at 5:30 at the Tarter Student Activites Center at Trevecca if anyone is interested in going.

My biggest issue is not being in a complete standstill every time csx passes by.

There was a what you like/don't like board for everyone to put something on about the neighborhoods. I definitely wrote TRAIN CROSSINGS in all caps on the dislikes. 

I have a feeling nothing is going to change for that until something awful happens or a much larger player gets involved, who gets the city/state involved, who finally pressures CSX to do something about their schedule. Or the city/state ponies up the money to make some kind of bridge/under/overpass for the two crossings. But WHO knows, shrug...

Really looking forward to this. Was the vibe mostly supportive?

Yeah it seemed everyone there was happy in general. Always people complaining about one thing or another in meetings like this but my particular table was open to a lot, as we talked about the various areas. Planning had broken down WeHo/Chestnut Hill into 6 areas. And we discussed what we would like to see stay and change in each. Then they will aggregate that over the next two days into what they present on Thursday.

The only thing I was disappointed about what the overall lack of diversity represented. Seemed like the whole crowd skewed younger, whiter and male. 

[PaulChinetti]

Here are some of the results from the planning meeting Monday with in put from residents. Then the planning committee worked for 2 days to get everything together. They are going to continue to meet with people in the community and specifically with older residents in the community. And present a plan with as much in put as possible.

Residents in both neighborhoods were definitely interested in neighborhood level stores, such as coffee shops/resturants but especially grocery stores.

People didn't seem to mind the density but wanted more flexibility, like detached studios or stacked flats, cottage courts (planning's terms) things like that.

This meeting had more older residents of the neighborhood. 

An older gentlemen said that Napier/Sudekum comes the projects back in that 50s, that Napier were the white projects and Sudekum were the black projects.

He also said that Trevecca planted a lot of trees back in the day, that's why that area has such large and vibrant trees. (see picture below)

The plan sounds extremely promising!  Thanks to the community, which actually seems to have it's collective head on straight in terms of what they want out of their neighborhood and expect from it, I think that part of town really has a chance to eventually become a truly dynamic, multi-faceted, working urban neighborhood complete with all uses I(including light industrial) more similar to the traditional neighborhoods found throughout the older sections of northeastern cities, as opposed to neighborhoods like The Gulch which, at least to this point, are more about appealing to a very specific niche.

The pace has picked up at the 8th Ave Publix site. 

[markhollin]

Bento Box (6 & 5 stories, 85units) getting close to opening. 

When it begins leasing in September, it will offer short and long-term stay options in a range of floor plans with micro-units as small as 250 square feet.

Like a hotel, the rooms will be fully furnished. But tenants can stay for days, weeks, months or years.

Next month, the Koziols will debut a tiki bar and food truck concept called B1281 Surf Club behind the building at 1281 3rd Ave. S.

The bar is inspired by the family’s home in Hawaii and features bright tropical murals.

A rooftop bar, a restaurant, and retail shops will open after the residential portion.

The project will also have the first fully automated parking garage in Nashville. Residents will park their car in the CityLift parking system’s ground level entrance and the mechanical lift will shuffle them vertically and horizontally to maximize space within the four-level building.

The site abuts a railroad track, so they are also working to get quiet-zone approval to silence the train horn at the crossing.

The Bento Box project will also include five retail storefronts, and the Koziols are considering opening a grocery market in one of them. 

Flexible lease terms will also be offered to the businesses, and the Koziols will customize the spaces for tenants. 

"We want to offer businesses an opportunity to have a turnkey product too," Koziol said. "Coming from a small business background ourselves, we don't want to lock businesses into these really long term, onerous leases. We're trying to give you everything you need, but you still can customize it and make it your own."

From what I've seen it doesn't look like they've started on the automated garage. I hope that happens, I know that a was one of the things the neighborhood was worried about all the extra people parking on the streets and without the garage that is exactly what would happen.

I am annoyed that I can't locate the post about the Schemerhorn being mistaken for being much older than the 13 years since  it has been built.   At any rate, I pointed out that the new performing arts building at Belmont would also appear as if it had been there forever.  Both buildings are rather spectacular ESa projects, so I thought I would share another symphony hall ESa designed recently in Charleston, South Carolina.  The new Belmont facility will  be quite similar in quality of period appearance and attention to detail.  Sorry I could not provide actual Belmont interior renderings, but they have not yet been published.

@PaulChinetti was the area south of the fairgrounds discussed? It is currently just single family residences, but has enormous potential for mixed use and commercial.

That's not considered part of WeHo so no it wasn't. I'm not sure what that area is considered, Bransford maybe, no idea. 

Also MDHA, owns that huge tract of land south of Vine Hill Towers, so that's all city property, and I think it's all a specific kind of housing now, I know it has a front gate.

can you zoom in and specify what tract of land you are talking about?

@PaulChinetti thanks. It appears the row of houses along Bransford Avenue are not within that tract of land. Either way, this land should be zoned for mixed-use. 

[PaulChinetti]

Looks like Chick-fila is opening next week on 8th Ave S in front of the Kroger.

It seems like a disaster in the making, I don't know how they are going to manage traffic through there at all. Should be interesting.

I don't see it getting re-zoned anytime soon. It looks like it's for elderly adults and disabled individuals.

I know they’re making it right turn only for a majority of the day, which should help the exiting vehicles. The people turning left into   the restaurant are what’s going to back everything up.
