I have a new rendering for a unannounced project inside the loop I found yesterday. Sorry but I can’t tell you who, where, or show you the rendering yet, but I will say it is somewhere between 18 and 20 stories tall.

I passed it along to WW and he will get it out as soon as he can. He has to contact the company first and get comments from them. They can run but they can’t hide from the Magic 8 Balls all seeing Eye!

I love this.   A definite nod to the architecture of the 3-4 story brick apartment buildings that were once ubiquitous in neighborhoods ringing the central core of American cities in the early 20th century.

Any idea on what grocery store?  I know HG has a history with Publix but Germantown seems like it would welcome a Turnip Truck type experience.

Beat me to it. Publix is certainly an option due to the mentioned relationship with HG Hill. I don't think we will see a Turnip Truck. If I had to guess outside of Publix, I would say either Whole Foods or Trader Joes (very unlikely and much to the frustration of East Nashville I'm sure). 

[Nash_12South]

Wouldn't a Publix or even and Whole Foods be pretty "near" the current ones - in the North Gulch and on Broadway?  My guess is Trader Joe's.

Has Target or Walmart shown any interest in establishing one of their smaller urban stores in any of the neighborhoods inside the loop or midtown?  A full sized Target in Metro Center could easily serve  Bordeaux, Germantown, North Gulch and other parts of North Nashville over to the Tennessee State campus.   I wouldn't want to see a strip mall type of development but a multi-building shopping and dining complex in Metro center that could include a Home Depot or Lowes, Home Goods or Home Sense, Marshalls or T.J. Maxx, local stores and both chain and local restaurants.  Add to it a family fun center as well.  In Bowie, MD the food court building in the Town Center wasn't doing well, so it was converted to basically a miniature version of a Dave & Busters.

At Mayor Cooper's press conference yesterday, he spoke of  "a long-anticipated permanent supportive housing development currently expected to break ground in May 2022"  that apparently will be near  the proposed Wharf Park.   Could this be the site of the former Tennessee School for the Blind at Hermitage Ave. and Anthes Drive?  Or is the final plot of land that MDHA has been holding on Rolling Mill Hill at the NE corner of Hermitage Ave. and Middleton St?

This should be the true standard of affordable housing in Nashville. These are beautiful structure and I really hope the interiors are as striking and impressive as the interiors.

Man, utility lines are really hurting the look of so many of Nashville's new projects.  In this case there are three levels of utility lines.   So, even at the second level of the building you'll see utility lines.   I guess living in the DMV has spoiled me because you just don't see too many neighborhoods with power and utility lines above ground.  From the core of the city out to suburbs most power/utility lines are buried.  

Anyway, kudos to the developer for building a garage and placing it where it doesn't become a focal point.

The paint job on this building gives it a much more modern look, which I like!

Yeah, I admit I was steadfast against this in the beginning. But now as it’s finishing up, I agree it’s a fresh new look and it’s really not that bad.
