Welcome to the forum Acer. Feel free to introduce yourself if you feel comfortable doing so. We have a new new thread here.

Awesome!  Looks like they DID go with a different color and it’s a bit closer to the “Nashville Red Brick” that is really a great look.  Way to go Vandy!

Still not crazy about the desing, but the brick looks very nice. I really hope Vandy goes bigger and taller with their property at 21st/Broadway.  I can't help thinking that should be their campus for a technology (specifically media) school, but it would seem this area will cater to their graduate programs.  That point at 21st could make a great site for a hotel/hospitality component of their graduate programs (a'la Cornell).  But Vandy has no program for that field of study at this time; however, it could be a component of the Owen School right across the street.

I'm OK with the design just wish they had put that on the 21st Ave parking lot instead and left this area for some more restaurants-particularly now with the Demonbreun Street places having to relocate.

Yeah…that’s the only thing I don’t like about Vandy buying up some of the land they buy up.  That area would have been great for a massive mixed use project…but it will basically be “private” now.

But it is basically a mixed use building (built by a private developer) that just restricts who can rent - turnip truck and 8th and roast will take up most of the ground floor. JJ's was a big loss, but it was a coffee shop and grocery replaced with a larger coffee shop and much bigger grocery.  There are a bunch of bars/restaurants on division and all around this development on Broadway (I can think of 10 within a one block radius)...I think coffee/grocery was actually a great way to go.  How is that private?

It's quite savvy for Vanderbilt to construct this. As rents increase in Nashville, housing near the campus will become (has become) unaffordable for graduate students who have to survive on the funding they receive from their programs. If you want to draw the best graduate students, you need to be able to offer adequate funding for the area. Alternatively if you can provide housing at a reduced price, and at a walkable distance, there is less need to pay as high a stipend, as housing and transport costs are lower for the students. It is yet to be seen if they will charge market rents or not however. The temptation to yield maximum proft will be great. On another note, I'm so glad this area will finally be getting a grocery store beyond CVS and Virginia's market.

I believe this is structured as a partnership between the university and a private developer who is building and will manage the residential units, offering them to graduate and professional students at below market rates.

Nashville is so fortunate to have Vanderbilt University and VUMC.

8th & Roast Coffee will have a location at the development when it opens in fall of 2023.  No word on how many square feet, or which street it will address.

Interesting thread on pricing for these units.  Certainly does not seem to be very affordable for graduate students:
