This looks absolutely depressing.... Jeez! 

I know all the finishing touches aren't completed yet, but this looks like a impoverished Soviet housing development.

For some reason I kind of like it. To each their own.

I agree - plus anything is an upgrade from that wast land that was there before.

The deal for Madison Mill has been finalized:

Newly filed public records show that Atlanta's Third & Urban and FCP, which is based outside Washington, D.C., paid $12.5 million on Sept. 18 for the property at 4101 Charlotte Ave. The 7.1-acre site was formerly home to Madison Mill Inc., which relocated a few years ago to Ashland City.

Story not behind a pay wall 

[markhollin]

The Third & Urban Group and FCP, which finalized the $12.5 million purchase of Madison Mill factory space last week, have released renderings for the redevelopment, that will be named Sylvan Supply. Construction will get underway in October, with completion planned for late 2019.

All of the structures will offer a collective 133,000 sq. ft. of Class A office space, as well as 27,000 sq. ft. of retail/restaurant space.

It's too bad they couldn't include some residential density. I worry a bit that the Charlotte corridor around there is a little oversaturated with restaurant/retail for not having much foot traffic. Already recently Flipburger, Beer Pale, and Salt & Vine have closed, plus Bajo Sexto a bit futher down. Farmburger and the juice place never seem to be a healthy amount of busy either and the older buildings across from Richland Park are half empty. 

[smeagolsfree]

If you go to page 52 of the attached doc. For the new West Nashville community plan, you will see the recomended height for the Charlotte corridor from 440 to White Bridge.  There are also explanation on the pages previous to that page. I am sure the plan will make some of you upset, but most of the height is limited to 2 to 4 stories with a few pockets of six stories. I know some of you were thinking about the Bass Ewing garage site that is for sale, but the height there is 2 stories.

Much of these recomendations are pretty silly if you ask me. You need higher density in these areas along the main corridors.

Perhaps we could create a 30-minute presentation demonstrating silly height restrictions and other ways to make Nashville more walkable and livable.  We could invite a council member or two to each meet-up, go through the presentation, and leave time for Q&A (CM asks the questions, we give the answers).

Farmburger is always busy when I’m there. Great burgers....

I like them too, they just always seem half full when I jog by in the evenings while Double Dogs, Five Points, and M.L. Rose are slammed. Maybe they do a brisk lunch business.

The burger I had there two weeks ago was outstanding, and I'm a Nashville Scene Burger Week fanatic.  Can't wait to go back and continue eating my way through the menu, though not like Fat Earl in "Diner."

According to the manager, Double Dogs on Charlotte Ave sold more draft beer (only offer draft beer) than any other bar in Nashville besides Acme Feed and Seed last year.

I’ve only been to the one in Hillsboro village, but the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese is awesome. Goes perfectly with copious amounts of draft beer.

The renovated (big expansion) Apple store reopened in The Mall at Green Hills, Saturday. Very impressed.

Is the area in the center of the building with the red brick part of the parking structure? If so they’ve done a good job of hiding it. This seems like it could be converted from parking structure to more office space if the demand for parking ebbs and the demand for office space rises. They wouldn’t have to do much work on the exterior, from the look of it. 

[donNdonelson2]

Parking structures have sloped floors/ramps. Transformation for other uses is not so easy.

[smeagolsfree]

Yes, it will have 3 levels of parking and two levels of office. Agree that this is not a great looking building , however that is a good design for the parking.

I mean, for that area it’s not too bad. That part of town isn’t especially known for smashing architecture. It’ll be dominated by an 8 story, multiple-thousand-spot parking garage in a few years, after all
