I'd have to dig into the documents, but I am pretty sure both projects you referenced were done as "by-right", which means that both are possibilities. MDHA would have the most say I believe with materiality and massing limits that are stricter than the other two documents. 

I believe the biggest issue with the Bridal Suites from an execution standpoint was the way the building sat at the sidewalk and the backflow preventer (water piping at the KOI end of the building). It's possible that Bridal went through BZA for things, but I am not sure on the history.

The thing that irks me about the Bridal Suites is how it would be instantly better with a different paint color, better landscaping and cool branding. It wouldn't even be that expensive to improve it from being a total eyesore!!

I went and met up with the Event Coordinator at Riverside Revival and she gave me a tour of their upcoming restaurant they are building out and hope to be open to the public by next year. It's going to be beautiful and I'm so excited to have it within walking distance of my house. The concept is going to sit in the basement level of the building, but it has tons of windows, so it's still getting great natural light. More info to come!

Also, it's worth noting that I'm excited overall for what they are planning for the future of RR-- they are upgrading the cathedral area to help mitigate the acoustics better and plan on having more shows there. It's really wonderful to think about being able to walk down there to have dinner and drinks and then walk upstairs to catch a show-- this place is a dream!

March has been working with me and Metro Planning for quite a while now to update the site plan for the next phases of Walden. One of the facets was a prior requirement to extend 18th Street up to Eastland. While I ordinarily support connectivity, the topography in that location makes building the street in the existing right of way infeasible. If you know that area, you know that those streets back there are tiny, lack sidewalks, and have a lot of topography and visibility issues (especially on McEwen), and so creating a vehicular connection to Eastland here makes conditions worse, not better. I walked the site with NDOT’s chief engineer who approved this plan to cap the street with a hammer-head turnaround for fire trucks, garbage, etc.  We are working through approvals for an abandonment. The revised site plan lines McEwen with townhomes and moves some things around to have a larger mixed-use presence along Eastland.

What's the timeline for this project? I agree: Eastland is prime for mixed-use development!

What is March even working on these days? Feels like he's just land-banking all over East Nashville.

What a shame! Just sitting on land instead of it going to good use.

WW spoke to him earlier in the day.

Well that's a shame. I've been waiting for them to finish that development since I moved down the street 6 years ago.

March is not going to do anything anytime soon. Just administrative purposes right now in case anything ever does get done.

How do you know for sure?

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

I went. They did record the meeting.

According to permits, the black building will be the new home of Resolution Eyecare. Their previous space on Woodland Street was destroyed by the tornado. 

What??? I thought that was going to be a cool new bar/restaurant?? 

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

Any idea what is going into the old Catio space next to Babo? I couldn't find the building permit.

I’ve heard a couple of rumors about the Berkshire Apts site. They’ve already opted out of their low income housing tax credit contract with the state (can start evicting tenants without cause on either 1/1/2022 or 1/1/2023) and are on a year to year renewal with HUD for their section 8 contract. They also own and develop a lot of affordable housing in Nashville (including the neighboring affordable housing property), so relocation may not be as big of an issue.  I’m sure any redevelopment will include some sort of affordable housing component. 
 

Side note about these apartments: I think someone was murdered there on Sunday and the guy who killed the nurse on 440 in January lived and was arrested there. 

I remember reading about this a year or so ago. Didn't they already come out with a masterplan? It was on the East Nashville Facebook page.

Does anyone have a subscription to the Nashville Post? If so, would you mind posting the article to: East Nashville building near brewery sells for $1.4M -- So curious to read this one!

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

That's the same developer who has the postponed project in Riverside Village. What happened to that project?

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

Thank you! It's very interesting that all these event spaces are going in, especially a.) with covid and b.) the church right down the street being converted on Riverside and Cahal is supposed to be an event space, as well.

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

Nashville Post just posted about Fat Bottom coming to East, but I don't have a subscription with them.  Can anyone post the article? Would love to read it.

I'm also curious about the daycare. Supposedly, a daycare will be going in.

Any idea what 1600 Riverside will specifically be? I heard that they may be turning that small house on the property into a coffee/sandwich shop.

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

My husband noticed they were working on the church on the corner of Dalebrook Lane and Eastland Ave. It was called the Greater Grace Template Community Church; it has been for lease for a couple of years. I looked up the address and found the building permit: https://epermits.nashville.gov/#/permit/3741882?page=1&searchText=901 dalebrook ln&searchCode=ADDR&searchType=permit&orderBy=fullAddress ASC,permitNumber ASC

 

Looks like it is possibly being renovated into another church. Thoughts?

Do you know what they will be doing at Eastside Community Collaborative? I heard it may be an event space. I also heard the house on the property may be turned into a coffee shop. I wonder if that's still in the works.

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

Thank you! I did see that. I was more curious what everyone thought after seeing a lot of community feedback. 

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

I was curious what everyone thought about the Porter Hill development. After it was featured in the Nashville Post it received a lot of backlash on the East Nashville Facebook page. I also saw that Emily the district 7 council person said the developer called her and said that was an outdated site plan. Do you think this will be handled similarly to the Riverside Village development? 

[Davidson East: East Nashville, Inglewood, Madison, Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory]

Thank you!!

Hello, can anyone tell me how I post a new thread? I just joined the platform and when I tried to specifically post to the East Nashville thread, it posted to the Nashville thread. Thank you! Appreciate anyone's help. 

maybe I just answered my own question.
