Glad they had the foresight to build the new construction right up against the highway (with parking in back).

Cool Springs Hilton

[markhollin]

The 1.7 acre site at 7106 Moores Lane is being planned for a hotel after being purchased for $3.8 million by MSM Hotels, an entity involving Nishith Jobalia, who also owns several other Nashville area hotels.  The site currently has a 13,000 sq. ft., 2 story circular-shaped office building on it. No brand or renderings available yet.

Speaks volumes about land value in the downtown core compared to Brentwood when this is valued higher than the Church Street park

Church Street Park is .27 acre in size, compared to the Brentwood parcel’s 1.7 acre size. Size matters!

Fair. Working out the math there, Downtown land is roughly 14.6mil per acre while the Brentwood land is 2.24mil per acre.

Then again with this math Fifth and Broadway breakdown equals roughly .81mil per acre. If we applied the value of Church Street to 5th and Broadway (totally hypothetical of course) the city could've received roughly 90 million bucks for the land, which many would argument is more prime real estate than than the Church Street lot is. 

Size matters, location matters. Consistency matters. By no means am I seasoned citizen to the city yet, but I can at least understand the push back and the arguments of some that Metro is essentially giving away land.

[Vrtigo]

Don't forget the time factor as well. The city began shopping around the idea of redeveloping the 5+B site back in 2013 when land values were much lower.

I know this is tertiary to your point that the city should expect demand market value for their property, but it's at least slightly more sensible with pre-2018 land values.

[titanhog]

Plus...throw in the fact the developer is building the NoMA'AM for free and it's not exactly as if the land was just given away.  That's a pretty significant investment.

wow, when i moved here in 92, that building was actually there, which is not true for most of cool springs.  I lived off of George Patton up the road.  so I drove by it every day.

I think it's a cosmetology school, if I can remember. I always remember the hideous design of the builing, so I'm glad to see it go.

So much parking!!!

[markhollin]

Stockbridge Capital Group wants to ad 21,000 sq. ft. of retail/restaurant space on what is today a surface parking lot in the cluster of office structures at 801 Crescent Centre Drive near Cool Springs.  According to plans, the retail buildings and some green space would wrap around a four-story parking garage, situated between the Corporate Centre Five building and Carothers Parkway.

[Hey_Hey]

I would love it if some of those surface parking lots were densified with some additional buildings.  It is a shame how much land is just asphalt in Cool Springs. Doubling the density in that area would go a long way to being able to support mass transit there.

I just drove past this lot yesterday and was wondering if anything was planned for it. I swear that happens all the time, I’ll be thinking “wow what an unused space! I wonder what will go there!” And then lo and behold the next day Mark will announce something

Unfortunately, its just more sprawl.

Next year's budget will be higher. One lean year and then back to normal. Reappraisals need to be done better next time. It is important to vote in these smaller elections for positions(property assessor) that no one really cares about for this exact reason.

This was needed five years ago.  Wilson County has done a lousy job at keeping pace with its growing school enrollment, so this is a breath of fresh air.  Mt Juliet HS has been overcrowded for at least five years.  This new high school is located almost within spitting distance of Davidson County, so look for even more Davidson County residents to try to sneak their kids into Wilson County schools than usual.  Not that I blame them.
