That last remaining large lot in Capitol View is slated for a 10 story Sarah Canon Cancer Research building and an 11 story hotel.

The small lot between Hampton Inn and the Health Stream building Is going to be a 1-2 story retail/restaurant development if I recall correctly.

I'm well aware of the masterplan, thank you.

This project will definitely connect the void between Capitol View to the north and development along Church Street to the south.  I've been hoping for years to see something like this come along for that area behind the current Eleven North Apartments that occupy the area.   Capitol View restaurants should also benefit from this development as well.  Hopefully, Capitol View will look to develop the large surface parking lot between Nelson Merry St. and Lifeway Plaza.

I'm not sure HCA needs to develop that lot - according to my friend who works there, they are currently leasing available space out of the surrounding office buildings.  I did however see some core drilling on the small grassy site between the Hampton Inn and the Office tower last week.  Perhaps that one is next to be developed. 

Also, Lifeway Plaza has been renamed.

Joe Vicari Restaurant Group has landed a permit valued at $3.75 million to open two restaurants at Capitol View. Joe Muer Seafood and Andiamo Presto will share a 13,000 square feet located at 500 11th Ave. North.

The two restaurants will have separate dining rooms, though share a kitchen.

The restaurants are slated to open in January 2023, and will represent the company’s first foray into Tennessee.

[Nashville as MLB Expansion/Relocation Market]

23 hours ago, jmtunafish said:

Dave Stewart, who played in the MLB for 16 years, won the World Series three times, was named World Series MVP once, and who has pursued owning other MLB teams, has been brought on to lead Nashville's Diverse Equity Ownership initiative where they hope Nashville's MLB team will be the first majority minority owned team in the league.

"We started this process four years ago. Nashville is a fast-growing city. It has a beautiful population of people," he said. "There's so much going on here. So, MLB put Nashville as one of its top places for expansion, and I think that triggered the idea to go down this path."

That is probably an appropriate square footage for a Trader Joe’s store. T J’s would be a good fit for the Nashville Yards neighborhood, and a good addition to the options for grocery shopping in the downtown area!

I don't see the tiny, poorly designed parking lot. 

But I DO see two elevators... Still crossing my fingers for a Downtown Target location which are about 36,000 SF in other locations, including groceries.

Since people have brought up Tony G.  and Signature Tower, has anyone that has access to him out right asked him if Signature tower would be a possibility? I mean I love all the development going on in Nashville and enjoy seeing the changing skyline every time I come home (I’m 105 miles East on I40 as I write this) but everything is so boxy. I know some will roll their eyes because we’ve discussed this, but seriously…I’m thankful that at least the Circle South tower will appear to be slanted.

^ ^ ^ The polio vaccine worked on the macro scale because everyone got it (there is still polio in the world, it's just contained by and large). The same would happen if everyone got the Covid-19 vaccine.  And the Covid-19 shots do not have a "poor" track record.  There are a few tough situations that have resulted....but WAY less than if people did not have the vaccine available at all.  

OK---let's move off of this subject and back to discussing economic conditions as they relate to development in Nashville. 

For what it's worth... I know one of the women who had a resulting blood clot from the J&J vaccine and she does not regret receiving it.   

I also know numerous people who have DIED from Covid.

So how much is insurance NOT covering?  And what would look different after the 'restoration'?  And that damn parking lot at the corner of 2nd and Church needs to be developed with a 6-8 story classic styled building of some mixed use.

That's up to the Owner of the lot, it mentioned redevelopment of underperforming lots but I don't know if you can force them to build.

I saw them testing the ground about a year ago. Hope they do something cool with the property considering the size. These apartments will have the greenway right next to it. Great free amenity for people 

The greenway is great however there's quite a few homeless people living between the greenway and the traintracks and it's full of trash, I can't tell you how many times it's been accidently set on fire.  The constant road & intersection closures of 11th & Charlotte has been super fun too.

The 'leafy' panels are lights.  I guess they could have added some clerestory windows but the nearly solid walls are desirable in this case.
