I’m pretty sure the one with the steel is going to be the outdoor rooftop workout area. I was looking at the renderings on the wall at the Y the other day. At least, that’s what it looks like to me.

I went to a new place on Dickerson Road a week or so ago (Cherries). It’s next to that Last Chance Liquor place. I couldn’t help but sit there and think how much different that whole stretch will be in 5 to 10 years. This will only accelerate it.

From what I remember of the plans it’s 6 levels. Can’t remember if the basement level with the pool makes it 7? There is an indoor basketball court on one of the levels. There is also an outdoor roof top yoga type space. As other people said, gyms have tall ceilings. The open free weight area of the current structure is very tall.

My problem with this bill is as follows.
Number one: Breaks up the continuity of established neighborhoods. There are few of these left in Nashville proper.
Number Two: There will be no such thing as affordable in these neighborhoods. It will just be housing. In these neighborhoods it will be expensive housing as these are higher end neighborhoods.
Number three: The council members sponsoring the bill should recuse themselves as they are realtors and could have a conflict of interest.
Number Four: Developers are the ones originally behind the NEST bill. Enough said. They are just out for more money. Not affordable housing. Just housing.
Number Five: Plenty of areas already available to build as it is that are not yet built out. example or of Woodbine, Charlotte Park, Madison, many parts of East Nashville. What makes these other areas more attractive? This fact that they are in higher priced neighborhoods where home values are already higher and the lots would fetch a higher price and thus the homes built there would fetch a higher price because of location, location, location!
I expect to be jumped on, but the truth is the truth. This is done for the greedy developers and real estate agents by developer and real estate agents. There will be no affordable housing as that is just a buzz word to get it through council as we all know affordable cannot be mandated and there will be no rules to speak of to protect what happens with these homes as far as price point.
I agree with many of your points. I don’t necessarily think this will make things more affordable. I know, in my own neighborhood….I think what would happen is that the remaining little 50s ranch houses would be gobbled up (for probably 500 to 600k…at least). Those are the ones that can be knocked down. Then, some high end condos would be built back. It IS about supply and demand. Nashville DOES have a housing affordability problem…I’m just not sure this is the fix. I will also take the criticisms for my position

Getting in and out of the Y right now is a total PITA. The other end of YMCA is closed because they are working on the bridge so you have to navigate the Church Street end and share it with the valet in the residential building. I can tell the Y knows that people are frustrated because they are posting more timelines of where they are and what comes next.

Haven't heard anything. But I stopped going there a while back when (free) parking became diabolically difficult. I have friends who felt the same. A victim of EN's success, IMHO.
Thanks. Yeah….that one is close enough for use to walk….but parking did become more difficult once Snooze opened.

I was curious. Does anyone know anything about the future of Hunters Station? That used to be a regular stop for us (as we don’t cook)…but it is beyond sad to go there nowadays. It used to just be packed. My partner loves Taziki’s and their corporate told me in the Fall that they were putting one there. Recently they confirmed that they are not moving forward with it. I know that Fresh Hospitality has that food truck incubator in the basement and I see lots of permits for that. And, I think there are offices on the second floor. It just seems like such a waste and I can’t figure out why they don’t get some things in there to replace everything that has closed. Just curious if anyone has heard anything.

The SP zoning was approved and can be viewed on the SP Viewer. The SP was signed and official by Mayor Cooper on August 28,2023. My guess is it is working through the money side of it now more than anything.
Ahh….ok. Thanks for the info!

My apologies if this has already been discussed (I’m not on here as often as I would like). But, is 800 Main dead? I don’t see it on Development Tracker anymore. Thanks.

I talked to the manager at the Y the other night when I was there. She was telling me that they are assured that the new portion will be open sometime in September. I told her I was afraid they were behind on their timeline. She said they WERE set back a little when they dug too far down and then hit the building. It happened around 8:30 during the week when they were open. The only way into the Y right now is through the garage. You take the elevators to the second floor and it dumps you into a lobby with a desk. There used to be a cabinet running along the outside wall (next to the construction). She said that when they hit the wall the coffee went flying and there was a huge crack in the wall (I had wondered what happened to the coffee). She said they have been making up time though and they for sure will open in September. Just thought I would pass that along.

It's supposed to open in September of 2024 as I recall but it also seems like a very short amount of time to me as well. Hopefully I can get down there again this week for a few photos, I've been sick for almost a week now and can't seem to shake it off.
At the time that they said 18 months I thought that was an awfully long time….but even September seems optimistic at this point. I’ve kind of gotten used to the lesser amenities….but I will also be glad to get the new digs.

I know that when they closed the portion of the Y that was torn down, I’m thinking that was last November? At the time, they said it would take 18 months for it to reopen. I wonder if that’s even possible?

Oh wow….I didn’t even notice that. I think they got the month wrong on their post (they just posted it today).

A couple of pictures from a different vantage point. Sorry, they were taken through the window. I had not noticed this plot directly behind the parking garage that’s is being graded. Maybe for overflow Y parking when and if enrollment picks back up. Also, not sure what’s happening to the little brick building. Maybe that’s part of the plan for the high rise. Apologies if it’s been discussed before.

Oops, I'll just blame that on my old age! One thing that's confusing though is the diagram seems to be showing the little bit for the YMCA on the far right with the main building in the middle. I had been thinking that the main part of the building was going to be right on that corner so am I wrong about that too?
Yeah, the corner of Church and YMCA Way will be the Y. The new section of the Y is fairly shallow though. When the Y is done I’m sure it will look nice, but overall I think we are loosing amenities. It’s disappointing on that front. I know lots of long time regulars that have moved on to other Ys (or other gyms). I guess time will tell if they come back…

This is from Saturday, I'm wondering how deep they're going to have to dig before they can start building it. I was under the impression that it wouldn't have to be all that deep.
As far as the section of the Y is concerned…I think it just has to be deep enough for a basement level swimming pool. No parking over there for the Y.

Wow….this is really game changing for Main, to me. I wish there were some retail on Woodland too. But, overall….I think it’s pretty impressive for that plot of land. The plan was always to redevelop that property….my only surprise about it is that it took this long.

Edgefield D , thank you for your insight . Sounds like you and many of your neighbors, have an open mind and understanding. I fully agree that development has to conform to its surroundings , and if 800 Main was say a 10 story storage facility or a juvenile delinquency halfway house that’s definitely something of concern. But as proposed it’s a good mix of desirable uses, including open green space. It would benefit to be a SP project, and hold to its conceptual design. As planned I believe it will add to a great vibrant neighborhood. My rant above comes from the pushback of the likes of City Lights residents, the recent Belle Meade Plaza discussion etc. projects that are of high quality, provide much needed alternative housing opportunities, green space and add to the overall vibrancy of a urban neighborhood.
Sure….I get that, and trust me. I don’t always agre with all of my neighbors. Everone has a different opinion of it. Sometimes a specific street is affected more than others and that affects peoples feelings on something. I personally like this plan….and like I said earlier, it’s outside of Edgefield. And anything, especially on Main, is fair game. Main has a long way to go to feel like a cohesive vibrant area.

I don't disagree with the above commentary, however Historic Edgefield is full of long time residents who mostly never wanted to see Nashville grow to where it is today. It's a lot of the reason why that particular neighborhood is difficult to deal with at times.
Actually, there are very few people left that bought in the 70s. We are the owners of an old house, I’ll always be grateful they fought to keep them. Because if they hadn’t, it would be a neighborhood full of those 80s looking townhouses on the 900 block of Russell. We have a newcomer’s brunch every year and there is always a steady stream of new people. More and more with kids. One of the most vocal now is from California, actually. It almost always comes down to quality of life issues. Most people I know are not against development.

18 minutes ago, Bos2Nash said:You probably recognize me most likely. I definitely drew the ire of some folks. I’m only 2 or 3 blocks from the site haha.
I agree. I think a lot of it comes down to a changing of the American Dream and recognizing that there are actually several versions of it. Some want the white picket fence and SFH, but in reality, that won’t exist close to the cores of the bigger cities. I think the American Dream can still be owning where you live along with your choice of transportation. Just how those manifest in the different regions of our country vary.
I’m on Russell. I haven’t been involved or aware of this development though.
I think there is a way to preserve historic character, maintain a quality of life and still have development. For me, since this is outside Edgefield I’m all for it. Some will say it will push traffic/parking onto Edgefield streets. And it will, just like WeWork did. But, there are other ways to deal with that. A lot of what I was seeing on FB was people complaining about things changing, more expensive apartments….etc. I would still rather have nice buildings around me than run down ones. There is going to be a lot of development around Edgefield…a lot still left to go…

Oh I know….people are lamenting the loss of the half empty parking lot with UHauls. Don’t get me wrong, it might be tough for the other businesses…but it’s not impossible for them to find something else. I didn’t recognize any of the FB people as my neighbors…but there will definitely be people who don’t like it.

This is not in Edgefield. I’m not saying there won’t be a couple of vocal people about it, but not sure it matters in the end.

1010 Church Street (60 story/750', 500 unit residential tower, 7 story/60,000 sq. ft. YMCA addition), $350 million

I think the consensus was that the extra tall floor with the steel trusses is the basketball court. It’s extra tall like the basement level where the pool is. I think what they are working on now is the the rooftop outdoor workout area. At least, that was what I took from others comments.
