I don't think I have seen this posted on the forums yet, but Amazon is coming to Nashville (partially)!

 Amazon in NYC, VA, and Nashville

I don't think Nashville's infrastructure was ready for all those people anyway.

Cotton-Eyed Joe building on lower broad listed for sale.   We can only pray that whoever buys it will undertake a respectful renovation of such a magnificent historical building.

"This truly is irreplaceable real estate,” he said. “With an unparalleled location and visibility, the building is the type of trophy real estate asset that tenants and investors seek out. It offers abundant natural light, vintage flooring and exposed brick work, giving it an authentic feel. It’s the last of its kind on Broadway.”

The 2 story, 60,000 sq. ft. retail/restaurant building next to First Tennessee Park has filed for a building permit. The Ward Brothers and C.B. Ragland  are developing it together, and have landed a $15 million construction loan form  First Tennessee Bank. It will include a concert venue, bowling, restaurants and a brewpub. It has been stated previously that the hope was to have the building ready by baseball season next April.

Also, here is a new rendering of The Derby, the 6 story, 285 unit condo development that will wrap the left field of the ballpark.  It will have a later starting date.

It would be nice to see something occupy that spot besides the future "one-of-a-kind" (Insert Country Artist's Name Here) Bar & Grill. But I won't be surprised, regardless.

^^^  During the CMA Awards, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had fun with the funky names of the Stars' Bars downtown.

At this point, I don't see how it can be anything but a bar.  With the prices people are paying for these buildings...and the crazy numbers we're seeing on the daily amount of beer sold and consumed downtown...I think people are just willing to keep throwing money at the bar scene and piling up cash until the wave disappears.

Agreed! It's always bothered me that those windows are bricked-in. It is a beautiful building but needs carefully done renovation. I fear they will splash some hideous paint over it... just to stand out from the row. Sure hope that violates codes.

A boutique hotel with fine dining would be perfect.

 

 

Oh yeah...and a boot store!

The three RJ Young properties mentioned several posts above (805-810 Division Street) are being eyed for apartments.  Water and sewer permits have been applied for related to the 805 and 809 (pictured) parcels, a Metro document shows. Nashville-based Civil Site Design Group is listed on the document, which references “Division Street Apartments.”

Right now only the two at 805 and 809 are showing activity.  The one across the street seemingly may still be for sale and not under contract. We do not know for sure. I am think they can go up to 20 with bonus height, however I am unsure as studying the zoning maps is not my forte.

The last time I dug through the DTC the intersection of 8th and Division is allowed to go to 30 with bonus and being on that intersection means something like within 100 feet. So my guess is without some appeal these are maxed at 16.

They may get a SP and then go a little higher.

More info on the RJ Young property at 805-809 Division St: Dinerstein Companies out of Houston (who also developed the just-opened Millennium Music Row Apts.) is the buyer, and is planning a 351 unit complex.  It would feature 39 studios, 154 one bedroom apts., 137 tow bedrooms, and 13 three bedrooms, and 8 lofts.  The lots are zoned for 10 stories, but extra floors could be available if the developer creates public parking and achieves LEED energy efficiency standards. No rendering have been supplied yet.

“Build several expensive floors of space exclusively to be used to store large carbon-fueled combustion-engine vehicles that are used to propel one person long distances.” 

Also,

”Be energy efficient, for the environment.” 

Something doesn’t add up. Seems like if they want to put environmental standards into zoning codes, increasing density (through more units in taller buildings) to reduce the amount of fossil fuel consumption due to commuting would be a good start.

It is a suburban hotel, after all. But I must say that stone wall is very attractive. Was that required by zoning?

I am going to be fascinated to see what is done with garage space in 20-30 years as car ownership fades out.

It seems that there will be an opportunity for many interesting repurposing projects in the future-
