One of the key features the brokers are pushing is the easy access under I-40 to Charlotte via a sidewalk. The sidewalk does exist- but it is only clear from the north end. The south end dumps out into an overgrown mess of a footpath behind the old Lions building the state is selling. I wish the Novatech people had continued the sidewalk along their property and the railroad track- it would improve connectivity in that area (right by my house) a lot!

I'm surprised that CSX allowed, or is continuing to allow, a sidewalk that close to their track. Surely they would push back against it being upgraded.

Thanks for sharing, @markhollin.  I know this vote was difficult for many people but seems to be best for all involved.

I was home for thanksgiving, and I did a drive down Charlotte Ave from 46th street to downtown, and was pretty disappointed. 

Charlotte Ave was called Nashville’s “Last Frontier” about 8 years ago. As I made my drive yesterday, I saw way too many suburban style fast food restaurants etc. 

with all the meaningful talk about Nashville’s affordability crisis, I was hoping to see a lot more density with multi family apartments and hotels. 

The good news is there is a lot of room for improvement / potential. What is holding Charlotte Ave back? Is it zoning? 

 

[smeagolsfree]

Everyone on that corridor saw dollar signs and the land prices went out of reach and a lot of that land is still for sale like The Bros Restaurant building. You also have two clueless council people that fight pretty much anything proposed on the stretch of road past 440, so thats what we get.

Pretty underwhelming.

I think you see a glimpse of North Italia in this older rendering of the mall renovations.....

[MLBrumby]

Yes. Likewise, I find the mix of stores at what should be the city's "premier" shopping destination be disappointing. So is the reason Taubman has not made any grand announcements for any new anchor(s) due to difficulty marketing MAGH to the top tier retailers? Or just general market pullback?  Yes, online sales have taken a bite out of B&M retailers, but much less so for premium brands. And ostensibly, the mall management appears to be making an attempt to create a critical mass of restaurants as the draw to shoppers.  I must confess I've never been inside a North Italia, but have seen them at upper-end shopping centers. Saw one at Legacy West in Plano last spring. This one at MAGH makes me wonder how Carrabbas feels about another Italian spot moving in on their turf. 

[21jump]

I just ate a a North Italia in San Diego and enjoyed the meal and beverages. I think the Green Hills location will do well.

[Nash_12South]

Regarding the mall, I've heard that there are several big names the mall will be announcing as construction proceeds. With nothing really opening until late summer/fall of next year they will spool out the names as long as possible, generally until building permits start being pulled. I also suspect there will be some relocations of existing tenants as they shrink/grow or make way for new tenants not excited about being in the "Dillard's" end of the mall. 

I also wonder if we will finally see some better better development on Bandywood. There is a lot of potential as a walkable venue between Hill Place and the Mall. Some big retailers don't necessarily want to be in a mall anymore (like Pottery Barn). If the right developer could combine some of the smaller properties there is potential. I still remember (dimly) when Bandywood was mostly houses converted to shops.

RevPAR Development has paid $5.5 million for the .9 acre site at 3818 Bedford Ave. (a few blocks west of Green Hills Mall) from Ed Ewing, who had previously announced a 4 story, 135 room Hyatt brand hotel.  Pete Patel of RevPAR, also specializes in hotel development of hotels in 7 other states. He hopes to make an announcement within a week on his plans for the lot.

Seems like it would be more cost effective to just build a new school somewhere else?

That option was explored and well vetted, just FYI

Problem is that Metro has been following this philosophy and now has a bunch of schools out in the hinterlands where land is cheap. They can only sell off properties to fund budget shortfalls for so long, and every time they do they send their students on longer and longer commutes.
