  1. Does anyone know about a start date for the Hill Center Germantown? A while back it was supposed to start in June. Is that still the time frame or has it changed?

    Incidentally, went to the skyscraper museum in Manhattan this weekend. It’s small but interesting with an exhibit on “supertalls” around the world.  I know some of you here are interested in tall buildings. Also cool to then be able to see some of them in person on the same trip.

    Ridiculous. This was a very attractive project on a main thoroughfare.

    Well....bummer: Stoltz Real Estate has ended its intention to build the 10, 5, & 4 story  mixed-use project and is now seeking to sell the site.  They were unable to secure an overall height modification from  from Metro Planning Dept.

    More behind the Nashville Post paywall here:

    Agree completely that this is ridiculous. Am I correct that the height modification was for the 3-4 story component on 9th Avenue, not the taller structure on Rosa Parks?

  3. I am glad to see the Werthan property fully developed.   My only concern is where will the  future tenants of the bow truss building and the new 6th and Taylor building park? While I appreciate the density in our neighborhood, I am currently lucky to park a block from my house. An extra hundred cars a day might put me a half mile up the road! 

    I also wonder if the houses on Hume will lose their downtown views...

    It seems odd that millions are being invested in an area that smells like poo 2/3 of the time and snuff factory the other 1/3. <shrug>

    I was afraid of that 6 years ago when I moved into the neighborhood too. While you are correct, it sometimes smells bad here, it's really only about once every 2-3 weeks that I smell the water treatment plant and I'm out walking in the neighborhood every day.  I don't enjoy the smell but it's not like it covers the neighborhood,  just an unpleasant whiff every now and then!  I never smell the snuff factory unless I'm over on 10th or Harrison right next to it. Doesn't seem odd to me at all that hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested here. It's the best neighborhood in Nashville as far as I am concerned.  The Neuhoff plan announced in the NBJ is pretty amazing.

    Anyone here have any update for the Germantown Gateway (Gateway 808) project at NW corner of Parks & Garfield by Blue Heron Asset Investors? Website says construction to begin in '18? Seems like that location would be wildly successful being on the main drag b/n Downtown & Metrocenter. Lots of apartments recently built/announced in Metrocenter too.

    There is a for sale sign that just went up on the lot over the last day or so. I don’t have a great feeling about that.

  6. There are erosion barriers lining the parking lot behind the historic houses at the corner of Taylor and 6th Ave. North. It looks like the mixed use project proposed for that corner may be getting underway. I think this is the link to the docket that was posted on this site in April of this year.

  7. As a resident of Germantown, I'm happy to see the stadium built in the area, but I'm not at all disappointed that there is another purely residential buffer between my neighborhood and the baseball stadium. I'm also not at all worried that there will be adequate stadium related amenities to enhance the game day experience. There are currently 5-6 existing restaurants and at least a half a dozen more bar/restaurants announced or under construction in Germantown alone. The "ballpark neighborhood" needs a community to support it 365 days a year, not just on the 80 or so game days. It needs to be attractive to both visiting ticket holders and neighborhood residents. I suspect a sports bar or two will pop up in the Sulphur Dell neighborhood closer to the stadium over the next year or so but I'm not exactly sure what else is required. Incidentally, according to the First Tennessee Park promotional video, there appears to be a large tailgating area planned along 5th avenue with outdoor tents and lawn space that looks very inviting to the public not at all private. There is plenty of additional "game day experience" inside the stadium.
