    I flew out and returned via the A gates, this week. It's still pretty dismal and not a great first impression. Absolutely packed as well, returning yesterday. The trek to the ride share also needs work. On the positive side, security worked well and everything, other than the A wing, is beautiful.

    Not to be a downer, but is the grocery store space one level? Doing some math, its roughly 120' x 120' at 14,400 sf. If you add in the storage/loading dock you get to roughly 16,570 sf. ( and I didn't take out the square footage of the elevator shaft/core that eats into the 14,400) For comparison, the Gulch Publix is quoted at 27,000 sf, the newish East Nash. Turnip Truck is 24,000 sf as is the Trader Joes at White Bridge. Unless there is a second level, this won't be that big.

    Saw this article - Turnbridge Equities has begun construction on Ashwood 12 South, a mixed-use development located at 2212 12th Ave. S in Nashville. The 116,500-square-foot project will be located on a nearly two-acre site in the city’s 12 South neighborhood. Set for completion in late 2024, Ashwood 12 South will feature 44,500 square feet of retail and restaurant space, including Two Hands, a community-focused café and bar, and Sushi-san, a sushi concept from Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants. The development will also include 72,000 square feet of small offices, outdoor common areas and 190 parking spaces. https://rebusinessonline.com/turnbridge-equities-begins-construction-on-ashwood-12-south-mixed-use-development-in-nashville/

    I think Nashville Yard's proximity to Whole Foods might work against a TJs being there. I lean to the Walgreens/DGX idea.

    Hasn't a grocery been mentioned for the Hill development in Germantown? That's the only place I can think of.

    Chago's on Belmont Blvd. to reopen in June. Good news. https://www.nashvillescene.com/food_drink/bites/trio-of-restaurant-veterans-to-reopen-chago-s-on-belmont-boulevard/article_0b9a5516-da20-11ed-8631-7b143d4b40b5.html

    Lots of good points here. I'll just add that I think its hard to develop an "neighborhood" around a venue, this big, that is used maybe 1-2 days a week. Bridgestone, which gets a lot more use, is still, many days, a big empty box.

    We went to Taqueria del Sol last night and all the conversation, from the regulars/staff, was about the closing and redevelopment. According to the staff, they are being told that the entire site will be redeveloped, parking lot included, and it could be big. With the parking requirements gone, it open up the options, I'm assuming. No idea how it affects Faherty Clothing (next door) which is fairly new and likely has a good lease.

    In thinking about it more, Taqueria must have opened about 10 years ago so their lease is likely up. They also have the least media (Instagram) presence of any of the restaurants on 12th, and as ridiculous as it sounds, it matters. They charge less for food and drink than most other spots, which is why families love them. That's likely part of their "problem".

    Taqueria del Sol, on 12 South, is closing June 30th, it was announced today. As a regular, we are crushed. It has great drinks and food, reasonably priced. It is always busy. I can only guess that the rent is going up too much.

    I grew up hearing the story of how a parent, dropping a child of across the street (Westminster Pres.), had their car roll across West End, down the hill and into the lobby of Rokeby (no injuries). Not sure how true it was, but funny none the less.

    Jacksonian.

    I hadn't seen the Lloyd....not my taste (looks cheap to build)and it doesn't fit the more traditional architecture of the street. I guess then, that new townhomes will "fit in".

    The jetways can also be hot on some days. All that glass could make them pretty uncomfortable in July.....

    Ouch. The design doesn't fit the neighborhood. It doesn't have to - if you want to be really unpopular.
  16. Nash_12South
    As someone who lives a few minute walk from the site, I really like this. It so well reflects addressing the "complaints" of past proposals - in scale, site development and building materials.

    Random thoughts but if demolition occurs, is anything into metro codes for replacement buildings? A real timeline for new buildings? I ask in that I wonder if the land could be some form of paid parking until new construction starts. I’m not a fan of fencing off the lot, demolishing everything, and letting it sit, for potentially a few years.
  18. Nash_12South
    Maybe it's time for a separate place to talk about this. No offense, I enjoy all the ideas for reworking the building.

    I have no idea what the Bellevue folks said last night, but as a former resident of out that way, I can imagine the fear is over traffic slowdowns. For close to 20 years I came into town that way, from Bellevue, and traffic did slow through there, as it did about every 1/4" mile into town. This will be much better traffic wise but the misinformation that is out there hurts.

    I think they may get new office tenants but likely not the Class A tenants they are losing. The proximity to Broadway and all the tourists aren't helping sell the space. When you need a rent a cop to allow the tenants cars to exit the building, every afternoon, it's not a selling point.
  21. Nash_12South
    I think that there is a push back on commercial space as you get into the residential parts of the neighborhood. You also start needing separate parking for retail, which can add to construction costs.

    I know the third floor space is an event space used to serve the Bruin Club members meals during basketball season. It’s become small as that group has grown.

    What expansion project? Any details?
  24. Nash_12South
    I wish Nashville could divorce Tennessee......

    The staggering of permits also relates to getting construction drawings completed. You only need the foundation drawings to be complete to get that permit and get started on a project. It allows the project to start sooner while the architects/engineers are still drawing on the shell drawings (which can be a separate package) then drawing on the floor fit out plans.
