Eden House, 16 stories, 200', 92 condos, 8,800 sq. ft. retail/restaurant, 260 capacity garage, 2025 Richard Jones Rd., Green Hills

[markhollin]

Eden House will be a minimum 10 story residential tower with probably 200 units being planned by GBT Realty for the site of the former Green Hills Fire Station on .87 acre at 2025 Richard Jones Rd, immediately to the north of Vertis Green Hills (18 stories, opened in 2018). 

GBT will soon hold a community regarding the plans says Metro Councilman Russ Pulley, in whose this district it would be built. He said the name Eden is derived from one of the original streets in Green Hills, while “House” references the former Nashville Fire Station building (pictured) sitting on the site.

Neither renderings nor the future building's height has been released yet.

GBT emailed the Nashville Post a statement noting Eden House will be "a high-end residential project that will complement Green Hills with ground-floor retail and restaurants to increase connectivity and walkability along Richard Jones Rd.”

I am still trying to determine the height allowed a the UDO is a pain to figure out in Green Hills. I was trying to figure it out Saturday and this is not my bailiwick.  I think its between 10 and 15 depending on the set back. I know there is a parcel that is on Hillsboro that by rights can go 20.

 

Maybe one of you guys that deals with the UDO's and such that knows the codes really well can figure it out for me. I am doing way too much to try and spend a ton of time on it.

Isn't there a plan for fixing the cluster f--k dogleg at that intersection with H'boro and RJ Rd. and over to Abbott Martin?  Still think it'd be well worth the investment if Metro brokered a deal to swap land with the owners of the land that used to be Davis Kidd Bookstore so that RJ Rd. could connect over to Bandywood. I remember thinking that 30 years ago when I was driving around Green Hills, just thinking how awful that roads are laid out. 

[smeagolsfree]

Yep, that is moving forward as well. It is on the district agenda as well. The Krystal will be demolished sometime in March and the CVS in the next 6 months.

[GreenHillsBoy]

They are connecting Glen Echo and Crestmoor not Richard Jones/Abbott Martin.  Our councilman sent out a notice that FINALLY, CVS was ready to begin construction where Krystal (corner of Hillsboro and Crestmoor) used to be and once that is complete, they will tear down the current CVS and connect the two streets which will elminate one red light.  Much more is needed but this is finally happening 

[markhollin]

Eden House will be 16 stories (just under 200'), with 111 condos, 1,300 sq. ft. of retail space, 7,500 sq. ft. of restaurant space, and a 260 capacity garage.  Gresham Smith is the architect; Ragan-Smith is in charge of engineering/land planning; and Hodgson Douglas is overseeing landscape architecture. They will go before Metro Planning on July 22nd to request approvals. The height design already fits within Green Hills Urban Design Overlay.

The exterior will be primarily brick, wood, and glass.  Groundbreaking will be early in 2022, and a late 2023 opening is planned.

So this plays like a 17 story building as the top floor is actually made up of  two floor penthouse units.

The former Green Hills Firs Station on the site has been fully razed.

Looking south from Richard Jones Rd.,  1/4 block east of Hillsboro  Pike:

If zoning allows, I can imagine the Green Hills area becoming a bit like the Lenox area in Atlanta.

[markhollin]

Apparently Eden House will now have 92 condo units instead of 111, but staying at 16 floors.  A spring groundbreaking is planned. 

Amenities are set to include a concierge, private arrival through a porte cochere, gym, yoga lawn, golf simulator, outdoor pool and fifth-floor “great lawn” that showcases views of Nashville.

Pricing ranges from $700,000 to more than $4 million. Unit sizes range from 912 square feet to more than 2,900 square feet.

I made the mistake of inquiring about the prices here… 

[markhollin]

GBT has applied for a shell and core permit at Eden House.

There's a rumor floating among Southern Land's the Vertis residents (probably started by Southern Land management) that George Tomlin has canceled his plan to construct Eden House on the old fire station property on Richard Jones Rd. in Green Hills (next to the Vertis).

[smeagolsfree]

I will be able to settle this one pretty fast.

Any word on Eden House?

[smeagolsfree]

I am waiting to hear back from the PR person, but he thinks it is just a rumor at this point. 

I will shoot off another email. He gets busy with a lot of big clients.

Groundbreaking has been pushed back to the end the year, and completion is planned for the beginning of 2025.

Thanks guys, I'll passed along the news.

[markhollin]

GBT has decided to nix their Eden House project.  In the process, they have sold off the .84 acre site to Southern Land Company for $9.85 million.  GBT paid $4 million for the land 3 years ago.  Southern Land built and operates Vertis Green Hills (17 stories, 301 units, ground level retail, underground garage) right next door.

“The timing is just not conducive to start a development with for-sale condos that are not a part of a hotel or mixed-use development, and we are now able to redirect additional resources to our significant activity in other property types in Nashville and across the country,” CEO George Tomlin said in a news release, calling the deal a "win-win."

No word yet on Southern Land's plans for the site.

That is disappointing... was eager to see the continued urbanization of Green Hills, although I suppose that will continue with or without Eden House.

I think with Southern Land buying it you can expect a similar development. GBT has already done the hard part.

[Nash_12South]

One thing that, I believe, really hurt this development was that it backed up, within like 40 ft of Veritas. They couldn’t even have balconies on the back, where all the one bedroom units were located. At some point down the road this might not matter but it didn’t help.
