    The ground levels on this project are amazing! I love how the buildings are all so close together and street activating. It’ll really feel like an outdoor room IMO which are really inviting.

    I just don’t understand why they’re hesitant to put BRT on West End. I would argue that is the single highest density road in the city so why would they not prioritize that as much as possible?! Does it have to do with the state law prohibiting dedicated roads on state roads? We’re having that problem in Knoxville on Broadway with planning BRT. We have to do work arounds so that it technically doesn’t count as dedicated right of way which has been a major headache… Side note, BRT service only every 10-15 min is kind of slow. Hopefully they can improve that pretty quickly…

    Really awesome renderings, especially the tall building having those little boxes with green space stretching all the way to the top! This and Mid City are top tier developments IMO and will really set a precedent for developments to come!

    That doesn’t even include the East Bank!

    This project just looks incredible! If this and Reed both get finished, there will literally be an entire new area of midtown that grew up from nothing! Nashville is really stepping it up in terms of development quality and projects like these are showing it

    Such a beautiful and well done project, like many others in WeHo. When they’re all said and done, that area is gonna be incredible!

    Oh I can believe it. Driving down the strip down feels like a whole new world!

    Looks like a solid project! Happy to see it moving forward

    Agreed! I love that these Vancouver developers are incorporating the Vancouverism architecture at the base of the project to really engage the street at a human scale! I hope they do more work throughout Nashville in the future.

    Is the bank still gonna have a drive thru atm or something? That’s kinda what it looks like on the left corner. Not the nicest thing IMO if that’s the case. Obviously as a whole this is way better then what was there haha

    Do we think they will snag the parking lot next to this site as well? It’s just begging to be added to the project! It’d be much nicer having the 11th and 12th Ave corners both activated

    Heyoh Design and Development is planning an adaptive reuse project for the historic Galbraith School, transforming it into 75 units through renovation and the addition of a new building. This is yet another residential project that has popped up next to the Urban Wilderness park and trail system recently opened.

    Announced a few years ago is Capitol Lofts, a 7- story, 123 unit apartment building at 305 W Vine Ave. A pool and various other amenities will be a part of this development. 2 of the 7 stories will be podium parking, and various affordable workforce housing units are proposed. This project was paused due to COVID and the confusion that came with it, but a new construction permit was applied for in August for this project, with unit numbers now being labeled on KGIS, so this project will likely begin relatively soon.

    The 9 story Union Knoxville Apartments at 2120 Cumberland Ave have nearly topped out! The 250 unit, 712 bed complex is nearly fully leased according to their Instagram. When completed, the Subway, Jason's Deli, and Dominos previously located on the site will be placed back in the ground level commercial spaces.
