Posted December 17, 2011 This week’s bits and pieces: Both of these next articles are a big disappointment. The Tennessee Hospital Association has decided to move from their current location off of Nolensville Rd. to a new yet to be built facility in Brentwood. This is actually in Cool Springs but on the Brentwood side. http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2011/12/13/tennessee-hospital-association-buying.html Cornerstone Realty is moving from its Grassmere location to Maryland Farms in Brentwood. http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2011/12/16/cornerstone-moving-to-maryland-farms.html Downtown Building sold to Dave Ramsey http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2011/12/16/historic-downtown-building-sells-for.html According to the Nashville Post the new Greyhound terminal is set to early 2012.

Posted December 19, 2011 I heard this morning that Jim Reed Hyundai and Suburu sold. This could accelerate some of the redevelopment of the dealership properties between Broadway 17th Church and 15th. Most of that has been on hold but I think they finally are throwing in the towel on the car operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 19, 2011 I was wondering about that myself. The land is owned by Broadway realty company. I dont know if it was the land and the dealerships were sold or the dealershipsonly. http://nashvillepost.com/news/2011/12/19/jim_reed_dealerships_sell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to this morning's Tennessean, the new owners intend to stay... new name Downtown Subaru and Downtown Hyundai... so I guess there will be car dealers along there for the foreseeable future....

Posted December 20, 2011 While I understand why the owners love that location and won't relocate, that is really unfortunate for Nashville. With the BRT going along West End, this could be remarkable for urban development. If, IF, West End Summit were to happen, that stretch along West End would be incredible.

Posted December 20, 2011 I really don't like the dealerships taking up so much valuable, underused real estate, but I understand why they like the location. I'd rather see all that frontage along Broadway filled with density; retail, restaurants, living space. A friend visiting from NYC described that stretch of Broadway as "so suburban," and she is correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2011 Beaman owns a huge area on the other side of West End that goes almost to the round about. Not only that, they own a huge lot on the other side of 12th Ave. past the interstate. They have built a couple of new buildings on thier property as well which means they are probably not going anywhere for a while. I agree with all of you that the days of the downtown dealerships should be over for a city the size of Nashville. I am just glad I dont have to pay the property taxes on that land and I dont understand how they are able to compete with other dealers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 29, 2011 So did a little driving today and noticed that Belmont has torn down an old house next to their health sciences building that will be the future location of a 4 or 5 story building to break ground in May I believe. Also noticed that a lot of work has begun on Pine St Flats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Really surprised Bellevue's not on the Sears closing list. Maybe later or possibly they have such a sweet deal from the property owners that they have little overhead. I've always wondered about that.
