The proposed plan for the 65 acre former Starwood Amphitheater site by WPT Industrial Real Estate has been rejected by Metro Council 25-12, with 3 abstentions.

Under WPT's plans, the vast majority of the site would have become distribution and warehouse space — with an area that would have contained other development such as 120 for-sale homes, retail and restaurants, and a park and events space.

"This is a project that the majority of this community does not want. They want more residential in the area and mixed-use, but definitely not a business park and definitely not warehouses," Councilwoman Joy Styles said. "I will challenge all my colleagues: Do you want to wake up every day looking at an industrial business park, or a large group of warehouses? I don't believe that you do."
 

No word on what WPT's next step will be.

^^I totally get that.  Lavergne really screwed up by making so much of their land between I-24 and Murfreesboro Road into a warehouse wonderland.  I'm sure there's great tax money involved...but it takes up so much land.  Then to let it creep into Davidson County and so close to resident areas...I can see where the residents would say "enough".

Urban development needs warehousing but this is not the place for it.

In Metro the place is the Bends, Bells Bend, Cockrill Bend and Neely's Bend.

Develop industrial and distribution parks in these areas and leave most of the rest of Davidson County for residential, commercial and recreational development.

[donNdonelson2]

Neely’s Bend is largely residential, agricultural, and parks land. No major road or rail access. Inappropriate for industrial and warehouse usage, in my opinion.

This was a HUGE win for Antioch, and it was well organized and had a TON of support. This is a residential area and WPT wanted to rezone it for warehouse. The term "Business Park"........no comment. But let's be very clear: WPT wanted to start immediately on the warehouse (cough, business park) and the retail area would be Phase 2. Sure. And when would that be? Sure. And the residential? Sure.

A big thanks goes to CM Joy Styles for preventing this invasion!!

Somera Road keeps investing in the area.  They are now under contract for 2 acres in WeHo at 513-525 Merritt Ave., which includes a large manufacturing  building home to Vintage Millworks (custom woodworking, furniture, etc.).  The Dunn family, which owns Vintage, is wanting to move away from the city, and look to make a nice profit on the sale.  The price is undisclosed at this time.

No word on Somera Road's plan for the site, but they usually do mixed-use projects.  They are the folks behind the Voorhees/Antique Mall redevelopment on 8th Ave. South,  WeHo Crossings (conversion of large factory/warhouse to creative office space), 501 Great Circle in MetroCenter, and Pins Mechanical in the Gulch.

Is WeHo Crossings still happening? They've removed all of the fence covering mentioning it and there are now new For Lease signs up on the fence.

This building right across the street has been completely redone and is pretty good looking too. It's has a bunch of design places. Maybe called the Nashville Design Collective, I'm blanking on the name.

A master permit has been issued for the funeral home property at 12th Ave. S. and Gilmore - 

master permit for 4 story 54,125SF mixed use building including: 3,056SF of retail space, 1,416SF office space, 12,502SF of Hotel space (9 units), 37,151SF of residential space (76 units) (with two underground parking levels)

Interestingly, they changed the address from 1111 Gilmore, which several of us neighbors were following to 1121 Gilmore (totally new address). Cynically I think this was done to delay people from following the process as long as possible. I don't oppose the project but would like them to let those of us nearby know what is coming.

I noticed the same thing and the CRE agent looks to have changed as well.   Besides Vorhees which is well under way,  I wonder how many of their other "projects" are real versus  intended to just flip to someone else in a few years.

[PaulChinetti]

Maybe covid torpedoed their plans.

Not many 8th-facing windows on the bank nor on Publix. Understandable given the uses, but still a little disappointing for a street that is (hopefully) becoming more walkable.
