What's going on at the ol' Tiger Mart?  You can see an excavator in the picture there and it's tearing up some of the parking lot.

[PROJECT LIST 2021]

I'm going to have to take a day to go through this (I scrolled through about 10 minutes and noticed how close my scroll bar was still to the top! lol) but I must say, this is astounding.  The work that you and a few others put in on amazing resources such as this and the development map, as well as the vast amount of photographs others have taken to document projects (special shout out to Mark, but there are many other now!) have fostered an amazing community here, where everyone contributes their own information, photos, opinions, questions, and discussions. When I've browsed around other city forums, it's really remarkable how active this one is comparatively. And I believe it is absolutely due to the amount of care that you and a few others have put in.

So, first off, thank you. And secondly, if nothing else, know that this community wouldn't be here if it weren't for people like you. And that's not to say that it would die if you stopped contributing, but I think the contributions you have made up to this point have allowed it to thrive so that it could survive if you stopped contributing. And that is truly special.

So, thank you again and I look forward to spending some time going through this! As a relative newcomer to Nashville, this is a perfect resource as I'm still learning all of the recent and on-going projects (of which there are so many now!)

[5th & Broadway | 501 Commerce | NMAAM | 34 story apt, 26 story office, + 183,000 sq. ft. of Retail]

Looks amazing and definitely what I first thought downtown Nashville was missing when I moved here. Hoping to get over there soon to check it out.

Just wondering, are all 200k sq ft of retail/restaurant space accounted for or might there be additional announcements?

[River North, 105-acre Cowan Street corridor, Phase One: five 4-7 stories, 650 residences, 85 K sq. ft. retail, 50 K sq. ft. office, mile long riverfront park; Phase Two: two 12 story office buildings, pedestrian bridge across river]

I was thinking the same thing. Top Golf would be great at the Opryland hotel area, but there is so much developable land in/around downtown, that I think this adds a great experiential option for visitors (not to mention the fact that they have concerts there). Plus, it's a great place for corporate outings as well.

[Nashville Bits and Pieces]

There's an Academy of Country Music that doesn't have space in Nashville already?

[Inside 440 - Berry Hill, Midtown, Vanderbilt, 12S, WeHo, Fairgrounds, etc.]

Hmm, yeah I'm not sure what to think about it. On one hand, it is a beautiful house, but for me, I feel like it really gives off a quaint "neighborhood" vibe and would prefer to have it in a quieter neighborhood (at least, if I owned it). Plus, I actually really like those homes on West End (Richland Hall, which I just learned are brand new, since they give off a nice historic vibe), so I wouldn't mind if the newer building had a similar look.

Yeah, I would say that it sits at the confluence of Broadway and West End Ave, so it fronts both streets

Wow, this whole time I thought that Apple and Ariat were the only retailers that had signed onto the project for some reason.  I'm happy to find out that I was VERY wrong.  

Same here. Admittedly I hadn't looked much at the site plan or recap of this development but to be honest, I had no idea there was even this much retail space available. I thought it was basically just a few restaurants, the museum, and the apple store lol. Really glad for the mix of clothing stores as well, which I felt had been lacking.

[Vertis Green Hills, 19 stories, 301 apartments, 67,000 sq. ft. retail/office, $125 million]

It was cheesy but not THAT bad lol.

It's a shame the planning in Green Hills is so bad, because Vertis would be an amazing place to live otherwise (and probably worth the price tag). But the traffic and layout around there is just nonsense.

I’m still surprised they are going with the office building first. Do they have a tenant? 

The only one I'm aware of is Live Nation Entertainment Inc., which has signed a 40k sf lease, occupying one of the three buildings.

[Parke West, 3415 Murphy, 15 story residential (210 units), 9 story dual brand hotel, 19,000 sq. ft. of retail, underground garage]

I was wondering why there was fencing up on that site. At least from the site plan, that portion of land is not a part of this development. Is there anything going on with that building pictured? Or is it owned by the same group and being used in some way to assist with this development?

[Davidson West: Bellevue, Bordeaux, Green Hills, MetroCenter, Nations, N Nashville]

Does anyone know what's going on at the old "Jamie" building, by the Belle Meade Town Center on Harding Pike? That building was recently demolished and it looks like there is more work on the site but had not heard any news about it.

Really sad what's happened to Buckhead since I was a college student. Used to be the best hub of nightlife in the whole South with pedestrian activity over 30 blocks. Then it died... while developers bought it all up and schemed how to profit off its carcass.  The vision was flawed...unrealistic... and ultimately killed the baby in the bathwater. To use your word, now it's "lifeless". 

What's wrong with Buckhead? I don't know much about it, but I had interviewed for a place there a while back and it seemed like a pretty cool place to live. With a fair bit of upcoming developments, metro station, and lots of shopping/amenities around. What has happened to it, and what about Broadwest might be like that? Developments that aren't working together, or..?

[Peabody Union (27 story residential, 354 units, 251,000 sq. ft. office, 50,000 sq. ft. retail), Peabody Plaza (9-story, 280,000 sq. ft. office), & 4 smaller buildings, MDHA Trolley Barn sites]

I don't think it looks good by itself since it's too blocky and wide, but I think it'd look alright with some taller buildings around it. Though I guess if they're TOO tall, it would also look out of place so idk.

[Reed District: 8 towers ranging from 8 to 44 stories (500'?), 1.5 million sq. ft. office space; 1,000 residential units; 150K sq. ft. retail space; 250 room hotel on 12 acres at NE corner of Broadway and 16th Ave. North]

Seems like a crazy amount of office space. What do you suppose would be the likelihood of it getting underway in the next year or so (though I'm sure it'll be done in phases)?

 

On a side note, is there any good place to learn about commercial real estate leases (like, recent leases, quarterly absorption/space delivered, leasing % of buildings, etc) in a comprehensive way? I know bizjournals reports on the bigger stuff, but I've developed an interest in it lately due to how closely it is related with development. Even learning about what businesses are relocating, expanding, etc. is intriguing. Or is that kinda thing too "valuable" for brokers and the like?

 

Just kinda wondering who has been taking up space in all the new + upcoming developments.

[NEUHOFF PLANT DEVELOPMENT, 14 stories, 6-7 stories, 650,000 sq. ft. office, 175,000 sq. ft. retail, 550 apts, 50 hotel rooms, 2,000 car internal garage, $500+ million]

The office high-rise will be the first round of new construction. Will you start without tenants in hand? We are committed to starting the first component of it speculatively. Part of why that's important in this discrete case is that it's been my experience that when you're doing something that's not like other projects, you really have to be able to show it. No amount of renderings or me waving my arms around helps to show what it can become. Fortunately, I have capital partners who understand that and see that vision. 

Am I misunderstanding something, or was there a change of plans? From previous readings (some articles, but also the recap in the 2nd post on this thread), it sounded like the office high rise would be in Phase II, which might begin after the first phase is done (with a 4ish year timeline). But this sounds like it might be in Phase I. Any ideas on that?

 

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

Seems like there are a lot of apartment projects popping up in Metrocenter. I wonder what's next for the area? I would think that area could begin to support larger mixed-use projects in the not-too-distant future

[River North, 105-acre Cowan Street corridor, Phase One: five 4-7 stories, 650 residences, 85 K sq. ft. retail, 50 K sq. ft. office, mile long riverfront park; Phase Two: two 12 story office buildings, pedestrian bridge across river]

Thanks! Coming from the Nova/DC area and I'm pretty sure I was the only one who followed development news around there.... It's awesome having so many people keeping us updated (especially you and smeagolsfree!) with news and pictures. Looking forward for what's to come!

This is one of the developments I'm most looking forward to. Having just moved here, it seems like Nashville doesn't have a ton of master-planned mixed use ("live, work, play") developments, but it seems like this development would definitely classify.

I wonder what Oracle's impact would be on it, though. I feel like their campuses tend to be more low/mid-rise sprawling campuses whose amenities are more aimed at those who actually work there (see their new Austin campus, for example). Though I'm sure the development activity that it would spur would be very welcome. Maybe I'm just hopeful that their (likely overly optimistic) renderings of high rises and open space would come to fruition.
