I don't know if this was reported on here, but Trevecca Nazarene College is building a residence hall on a prominent hill on campus according to the ESa website.

Looks nice for a small college.

This was put on the ESa site by mistake. COVID has thrown a wrench into the plans, so this will not happen for a while.

Lots of work going on at the MLS stadium site.

[nashvylle]

I believe the first of the concrete was poured today for the stadium’s concrete footings.

Made this little hyperlapse too.

[smeagolsfree]

That's a whole lot of activity in a short period of time!

@nashvylle Here is a better view of that corner. There is some steel on the ground too.

Elmington Capital is planning a residential project featuring three 3 story buildings and 204 units on 5.9 acres at 101 Factory St., south of Travecca University.  The school will retain ownership of the site.  Not sure if this will be just for Travecca students, or the public, or both. Southeast Venture will be the architect, with Catalyst Design Group in charge of land-planning and engineering. 

The development entity will seek a specific plan rezoning from the Metro Planning Commission with a Nov. 11 hearing date set. The existing zoning is for industrial use.

Always wondered why nothing was on that chunk of land. Interesting area for apartments though, some of those factories over there are pretty loud. I’ve heard that Akzo Nobel one from my house before.  
 

Side note, I fell out of a tree there once retrieving a quadcopter I was trying to get unstuck. Scraped the hell out of my back.

AJ Capital is buying the Merritt Mansion (circa 1840) property at 441 Humphreys St. from Kings of Leon for an undisclosed sum.  They will preserve the historic structure to stay within the fabric of the surrounding community they will develop on the roughly 1 block site.  All of it will be part of what AJ Capital is referring to as Wedgewood Village, which will incorporate all of the 15+ acres they have in the WeHo district including Nashville Warehouse Company and May Hosiery. In total they are investing $650 million in the area. No specs on this exact site yet, though.

@markhollin @smeagolsfree have you heard any rumors of what they want to put on this site? 

[smeagolsfree]

Not yet.

When Kings of Leon owned it,  there were rumors that they were looking at doing a boutique hotel concept akin to the Hotel Saint Cecilia in Austin, along with a retail component : 

https://hotelsaintcecilia.com/

 I had also heard more recently that AJ had joined the mix on that concept,  but that could have just been people blending two different rumors together.  It would maybe seem a bit odd for AJ to be doing 2 very similar boutique hotel concepts effectively 1 block apart....

What's happening at the stadium site, via NashvilleSC

The major update regarding on-site activity this week is that we have begun the concrete footing work.
 
Also, quick reminder from last week: we are no longer using Wingrove St., but rather the 400 block of Moore Ave. for our trucking routes.

Ongoing

• Pouring, forming and reinforcing concrete footings at the south side of the site.
• Bringing in the equipment needed for deep foundation work.
• Rock blasting and excavation, though the most impactful blasting is now less frequent.
• Continuing with control measures to maintain erosion and sediment and to help stormwater run-off.
• Ground removal, excavation and offsite hauling continue with daily street sweeping on Benton Ave., Bransford Ave. and Rains Ave. near the entrances to the site. This causes light traffic at times but most of the debris is controlled on-site.
• Bringing in equipment for earthwork activities remains constant.
• Utility installation on the south side of the site.

A sign went up over the weekend at the former funeral home at the corner of 12th and Gilmore.

After years of delay, Wedgewood Lofts (6 stories, 150 units, 3,025 sq. ft. of retail space) will be built by Ridgehouse Capital on the empty 1.25 acres at the T-intersection of Wedgewood Ave. and Stewart Place.  Ridgehouse bought the property and basic design ideas from Aerial Development. VE Design has made some tweaks to the concept.  They will go before Metro Planning Commission on Dec. 11 for zoning changes needed for the development.

Praying more of this denser development is to come for this stretch into The Fairgrounds. 

[MLBrumby]

The density is good, but there's an awful lot going on there with exterior materials. At least it has variation in the footprint and the canopy on the ground floor is a nice touch. 

[SJT]

Looks like one more uninspired development. Throw a band of color and a mural and we are supposed to go WOW! Very third tier in my humble opinion.

No offense, but this development is next to a railroad track, the interstate and within a stones throw of the speedway. It’s not a high end location. I do agree it’s disappointing.

Has anyone heard if Envision Edgehill is still progressing? I haven't heard anything about it in a while.

That was a long range plan.  I believe that once Envision Cayce is rounding towards completion (still years away) and is proving to be a worthy experiment, then Edgehill would be next, and Sudekem/Napier after that.
