So a question which will reveal how little I know about Nashville: why is there so much undeveloped land around Dickerson Road? 

It is quite hilly in that area.

I think another issue is that it has been pretty much low income for a log time. Lots of trailer homes along Dickerson, cheap hotels, pawn shops, etc... Generally a depressed area and is just now getting attention. It was also considered way out in the county prior to Metro in the 60's and pretty much all of the areas north & west never had the population density that areas to the east & south had.

When you look at the map 41  which is Dickerson and 31 E which is Gallatin pretty much parallel each other until you get too Goodlettsville, so it seems as if the natural growth went to 31 E as there was more traffic because of Gallatin and Hendersonville folks traveling to Nashville along that Hwy. too. There are no major towns coming in from the north to generate the auto traffic that was needed in those days to support business's along that road. 

Now I am just thinking outside the box here, but I am just thinking of the early days of the auto and how things progressed and that sort of makes sense to me just thinking about how I have seen other cities grow.

The 4 parcel lot covering .36 acre at 520 Lafayette St. has been relisted for sale at an unpublished price by Jim Eaton. It is estimated to be work around $5 million.  The 1.17 acre lot to the SE at 505 Lea/500 Lafayette (home to Czann's Brewing which is relocating to The Nations) is also for sale at an undisclosed asking price by Randall Properties.

The undeveloped 15.8 acre site at 3671 Dickerson Pike is up for sale at $1.6 million.  It last sold in 2017 for $825,000 . There are many residential complexes going up along that strip, so this will probably become one as well.

Pins Mechanical Company is planning to re-open in mid-June after several months of closure due to Covid19.  

While some of its traditional game offerings such as pinball, bocce ball and ping pong won’t be available, its core duckpin bowling will be an option. The company has installed medical-grade UltraViolet sanitizing devices on the ball returns for each lane.

The sanitizers on the ball returns alone are $500 each. The process works in less than two seconds. As each ball moves through the return, it passes through the light, sanitizing it.

The cages where game equipment is kept – ping pong paddles, bocce balls, etc. – will have UV boxes that sanitize the items after use. And they will be put into sealed packages until next use.

Employees also will be outfitted with handheld UV devices. In addition to wiping down surfaces and pinball and arcade game units, those will get a pass with the handheld as well.

First look: Chicagoan pursues high-rise on can't-miss site, fawns over Nashville

Albion is pursuing a 20-story apartment tower with 430 units, a 30,000-square-foot floor of office space, and multiple outdoor amenity areas, including at the penthouse level. Metro's Planning Commission is set to vote on the proposed development at its June 25 meeting.

This is the one I had on the map at 645 Division as "Its a Secret".

Mark is starting a thread right now and the Post is live with their story as well.

Geesh... Nash-couver.  Can anyone build something taller than 25 floors? 

Apparently, these residential towers are directly because of Amazon.

Geesh… Chatta-no new towers built in the last 50 years   

[MLBrumby]

LOL... yep... but we 'like' it like that. Actually, most of us here don't put ourselves in the same league with Atlanta and Nashville. So we're focusing on building a strong livable downtown. Towers are so far off in the future, we can't even 'go there'.

Rutledge Flats will be an 8 story, 174 micro-unit residential project at 622-626 3rd Ave. South, that will include 1,030 sq. ft. of retail space on the ground floor. Originally, 146 units was the goal.  Eagle Rock Ventures and Mathews Company are joint  developers and Hastings Architecture is handling design.

Micro apartment units typically are no larger than 250 square feet and, in the largest cities, are often smaller than 150 square feet.

The team will go before the Metro Development and Housing Agency Design Review Committee on Tuesday to seek concept plan approval. The site is located within the MDHA Rutledge Hill Redevelopment District and, as such, committee approval is needed. The building's exterior will be primarily metal and concrete.

Eagle Rock will swap their land at 628-630 Third Ave. S. with Fresh Hospitality, which owns the neighboring land at 626-626 Third Ave S. As a result, Rutledge Flats would be built on that site, with Fresh gaining land that borders another property the company owns elsewhere on the same block.

RMH House will be a 6 story mixed use structure on the .3 acre triangular lot at 94 Peabody St. (bordered on east by Hermitage Ave., and west by 1st Ave. South). It will feature two floors of retail/restaurant space with 4 tenants, and 4 stories of 33 residential units, which may be short term rentals. Most of the building will be brick and metal cladding.

A Texas LLC affiliated with Good Smoke Restaurant Group bought the site for $2.1 million in 2014. They have hired Centric Architecture for design and Ragan-Smith Associates for land planning and engineering. They will go before MDHA Design Review Committee on Tuesday for approval.

I like it. Fits in well with rolling mill hill.

Is the teal lot next to it where that tall residential tower is going to go?

The large Teal lot next to 94 Peabody is where the KVB Swerdling hotels would be going.
