Right around there there's new houses going in (blue circles), but most excitingly the site circled in red has been getting cleaned up. I live just west of the train tracks and I have students who live off of 40th, so I hope it turns out well for their families. 

[smeagolsfree]

I have been watching the homes being built in the blue areas. I need to take a drive into the red zone as I cut down 40th alot as a short cut.

Thanks for the update.

Its so hard to keep track of all that is happening in Nashville now. Ten years ago it was a one man job and I was easily able to keep track of almost everything happening anywhere in town.

Now there is no neighborhood in Nashville that is untouched by the explosive growth we are seeing.

Thanks to you and to everone else for keeping us informed. I dont always say thanks to you guys but this is for all of you that keep us informed.

Minor update on this - got notification of the official public rezoning hearing (1/16 4PM at 2601 Bransford Ave). Only thing of note is that the request to rezone has been expanded to include 5301, 5305, 5307, 5309, 5311 California Ave and 5215 Centennial Blvd. Same folks as before, now CS -> MUL-A.  While I drew the outline above initially incorrectly, I do believe that the addition of the new addresses does now constitute the entirety of the area I outlined.

Justin, it is on the Planning agenda now.

Below is the proposed zoning change: Recommends approval

 Proposed Zoning Mixed Use Limited-Alternative (MUL-A) is intended for a moderate intensity mixture of residential, retail, restaurant, and office uses and is designed to create walkable neighborhoods through the use of appropriate building placement and bulk standards.

The former Sun Trust Bank building at Green Hills Mall (now owned by GBT) is about to come down. Still no announcement on what will go on this lot.

Rochford Realty has begun exploring ideas for the approx. 1 acre site at 3808 Cleghorn Ave., on which currently resides theTokyo Japanese Steakhouse and large surface lot.  The restaurant is not planning to renew their lease this year. This is a prime spot zoned for up to 10 stories for a substantial mixed use project.

I think it's going to be a Chase Bank branch

[smeagolsfree]

You are corect. I think GBT has bought to hold as an investment,  so nothing will happen for a good while.

I hope they build a Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf's on that lot that LGBT owns.  Perfect opportunity now.

The state is selling (by sealed bid) a 6 acre site with 12 buildings at 3411 Belmont Blvd, near the NW corner of the intersection of Belmont Blvd. and Woodmont Blvd.  The oldest structure on the lot is The Yellow House, which was erected in 1920. Most of the buildings (some built as late as 1977) are in disrepair. An offering memo states, “The buildings are set up for institutional use [and] consist of administrative buildings, residences (both dorms and duplexes), classrooms, a gymnasium and storage buildings."

It would seem that a developer would raze the structures and build a residential project.  Hopefully there would be a way to at least incorporate TheYellow House.

I would suspect a developer will pick it up for single family homes. I will have to look to see what the zoning allows for.

 

Just checked and zoned for R 10. /4.63 units per acre. I dont think the neighbors will want it rezoned for multi housing.

I should allow someone who knows more about this one to post, but I'm interested to know how this project Solis L&L Market Place at Charlotte and 39th in Sylvan Park will 'straddle I-40'. The pictures with the article provide no information about what is shown, but does this project intend to build a walkway over I-40? One of the pictures shows a parking garage with a catwalk to somewhere. No captions!   https://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/article/21110865/apartment-building-eyed-for-sylvan-heights-site

Not sure about the renderings as William got them pretty quickly today with few details after I alerted him to the project. I dont know how accurate they are.

[markhollin]

For those who can't see on the other side of the Nashville Post paywall, some more info on the Solis L&L Marketplace development:

- 6 stories, 265 residential units,

- Ground floor retail will face L&L Marketplace

- Charlotte-based Terwilliger Pappas Multifamily Partners is the developer

- Will sit on 3.05 acres at 3814 Charlotte Ave. adjacent to and north of the recently opened retail building L&L Marketplace. It would be accessed via 39th Avenue North and straddle Interstate 40 on the city's west side.

- Catalyst Design Group is participating for land planning and civil engineering. Southeast Venture is the architect.

So it wont really "straddle" the interstate, but rather it will butt up against and use the interstate as a property edge.

[MLBrumby]

Correct. Straddle means a portion on one side and the other.

Price Development has released renderings for their 5 story, 322 ap. complex which will be called 3800 Charlotte in the 4.4 acre site. It is immediately to the east of the Solis L&L Marketplace announced earlier today.  HEDK is the architect.

Such an upgrade for that part of Charlotte. 

[smeagolsfree]

I was not sure when William was going to have those renderings for 3800 out there. We were hoping for better rendering but the ones on Development Tracker was all we could come up with.

Just an FYI here. It has been busy as hell the first few weeks of the year. Busier than we have ever seen it.  One thing that is concerning is the water sewer permitting fees have gone up 350%, so this will hurt a lot of small developers and the Nashville Fire Dept. Has come out with new rules that further hurt development. 

So with the Cooper administration backing off on incentives with the above actions, development may be hurt severely over the next year.
