Not sure what is happening at 1600 10th Ave North (Christ Temple Church North).  Is the congregation still active and major renovations going on, or is this being rehabbed into something else?  The structure was originally built in 1900.

Looking east from 10th Ave. North, just north of Garfield St:

Former O'Reilly Auto Parts at SW corner of Rosa L. Parks Blvd. and Monroe St. that was severely damaged during the March 2020 tornado is fully razed, and fencing up around the lot.  Still no word as to what might be going on this prime spot.
 

10 story residential housing with retail on the first level.  The developers did a presentation on the proposed building and provided renderings a couple of months ago.

That was all that was needed to push an interstate through it without any thought about how it would impact the overall community. 

 

There was plenty of thought on how it would affect the community.  The interstate was intentionally used to destroy it.  This was  a racist policy done in almost every city in the U.S. with a black community.

What "solutions" were presented?  How does the mayor's plan "right the wrong" for the people that were wronged?

Well, Cooper has only been mayor for two years. And it's not like he can do this unilaterally

More too little too late politics.   This has nothing to do with the people that were wronged.

Now that North Nashville is gentrified he's going to engage the people of North Nashville to right the wrong?

Its not my favorite design - but I think most of the money went into the main infrastructure. This was all steel beams... no stick framing on this thing. For at least that, I am appreciative. 

 

This is DJ's first project of this scale, and I'm listing some spec homes he's designed, and they are much better. So we'll see with his other properties what ends up happening.

DJ did not design this project, doesn't own it, and didn't finance it.  He's a front man plain and simple.  This project stands out like a sore thumb compared to the other buildings on Jefferson St.

Metro planning 100 units at Cheatham Place

http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2015/12/02/metro-housing-plans-100-apartments-cheatham-place-complex/76672010/

Are these units going to be considered part of Cheatham Place?

Corner of Arthur and Garfield.

The project at the end of Arthur in HBV also looks like it's about to begin.  Agentemo, do you know the other person with the Kudzo home right off Arthur on 11th? 

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

Agentemo - there is a pretty large price differential north and west of 65. The most expensive 3/2 up there just sold for 183 per foot on 10th Ave N last week. HBV is considerably more expensive than Elizabeth Park. And Germantown/Salemtown/Hope Gardens are way more expensive than HBV

I haven't looked at any numbers recently, but it seems to me that HBV has caught up with Hope Gardens for price/sf and land values. Is that not true?

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

IMO It will get torn down.  Just like the identical building that it used to share a wall with.

 

Old Building:  

The price of that building would have to come way down or land values would have to increase significantly for a tear down to make sense. That building will be sitting there for a while.

Cool, HBV is still moving along.

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

Just noticed the very large empty lot at 915 Monroe St, across from Kroger at the landscaped HBV entrance median was sold to an entity called Cottage Partners, LLC.

It looks like they own a number of vacant lots in the area. I'm not sure if they've done anything with any of them.

No new-to-the-game developer should be bad mouthing any other developers publicly, even if she feels that way.

She is speaking as a person that lives in the community, not only as an investor. If you asked other people in that community you would hear more of the same. She did a good job being one of the voices for that community.

Any natives (i've only been here since 03) know if the Frank Vukelich quoted in the article is the same one from this court case?

Seems funny that he's the one whose quotes focus primarily on crime if he is in fact the Frank Vukelich who was one of the major drug dealers here in the 90s.

I think you are right Mundiejc... This guy does have a negative attitude. However, he has recently purchased properties on Buchanan and a bunch of lots on Cephas and 11th. I've actually spoken to him before. He is waiting a few years for the neighborhood to turn around. Then he will capitalize on the ever increasing prices of the area.

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

Kelly Bonadies is recruiting businesses to some of those buildings ranging from an art gallery and restaurants to a skateboard maker and various creative shops.  Bonadies fears that the spotlight now on Buchanan would attract certain developers whom she likened to vultures."

 

Awful attitude.  

Quite the contrary. I think she has a great attitude. She apparently cares about the neighborhood. Probably doesn't want to see it turned into a neighborhood full of two attached homes on one lot. With the time and money that she put into the area how can anyone say her attitude is awful.

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

Stop being difficult.  

Yet when an article says HBV is Germantown people are quick to point that out. A street separates every neighborhood...

1035 is kind of a cool duplex, but not really a big loss.  Super glad to see that other eyesore at 1024 going away!

How do you know that 1024 is going away? That style of multi plex is an eye sore, but at the price it sold at I wouldn't bet that it is slated for immediate tear down.

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

People are already paying too much for the low budget renovations that are going on in Elizabeth Park. It amazes me. I walked through the home on 1727 Heiman late last year when the owner was selling it for $55k. The house needed the interior updated. Apparently another investor purchased it for $52k did basic interior renovations and flipped it for $140k. Kudos for that guy for getting a big check on that flip, but that home wasn't worth that.

You can tell when a person is renovating these home to live in versus an investor renovation. Like the home on 1023 Cheatham in HBV, that house looks great, when I saw the work being done on that home I knew that was the home owner and not an investor just based on the quality of work. I don't know who owns the nice blue house at 1040 Scovel but I can only assume that is the owner who plans to live there because it's done too right. They removed the siding, put up new plywood, wrapped the house and put up new fiber cement siding. I'm sure the inside is fully insulated. I have not seen any investor renovations in Elizabeth Park get that kind of treatment. the majority of home I've seen in Elizabeth Park have at least 2-3 layers of siding. Where the top layer is covering some rotted out/outdated siding below it. That never gets addressed. It was ok when the houses were only selling for $50k, but at current prices buyers need to start demanding higher quality, or lower prices.

I follow lot sales, two new lots just listed for sale in HBV, both zoned R6

 

1027 Cheatham Place, $89,900 {sodEmoji.|} Lot Size: 68' x 116' 

1029 Cheatham Place, $69,900  {sodEmoji.|} Lot Size: 51' x 105' 

 

These list prices are below what other lots have been selling for, but they are smaller and in a less desirable location than the lot sales I saw in 12/2014.

What lots in HBV have sold above the list price for 1027 Cheatham place?

Unfortunately, Elizabeth Park and Bordeaux areas have had 2 construction crews held up by robbers this month, this time two workers had to be taken to the hospital for a project by 2200 15th Ave N

There currently is an endless supply of people willing to pay $1,500+ a month in rent. They are moving from around the country.

It's never endless. At the current rate of building, how long will it take for supply to catch up or surpass demand? Time will tell, but someone has to be coming up with some numbers to get all of this financing approved.

[Inner Loop - CBD, Downtown, East Bank, Germantown, Gulch, Rutledge]

I'll drop this here too, since it's across from Germantown, to go beside Top Golf.  This is pretty significant!  http://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/blog/real-estate/2015/02/exclusive-massive-project-envisioned-for.html?page=all

Does anyone have the statistics that show the demand for apartments? It seems as if developers believe that there is an endless supply of people willing to pay $1,500 and up in rent.
