It reads like residential over offices, I wasn’t 100% sure though.

Burgess Used Cars at 1814 Nolensville Rd, has a thanks for 42 years sign up and they are moving out. Directly across from the Fairgrounds entrance.

 12th South seems to be allergic to multi-family housing.

[Nash_12South]

Between the Historic and Conservation overlays, there are few opportunities for multi-unit housing in 12South. When developers have offered anything that looks like it, it also looks exactly like STRs which are pretty despised (and fought). No one offers to build condos. In the case of The Gilmore, currently under construction, they call them condos, but since most units look like hotel rooms with kitchenettes and no closets....I kinda doubt they are really "condos". 

The apartments above the BarTaco and Draper James buildings shifted to STR a while ago.

In the stretch between Wedgewood Ave. and Kirkwood Ave., there are actually  7 structures either recently built or currently u.c. that feature 304 units. If you go 1 block further to the north, there are another 192 in 2 developments.  And there are another 1,500 or so beds in various dorms for Belmont Univ. just off of 12 South within a block to the west.

I think Mark is spot on not to mention the neighborhood is pretty much dead set against anything large in nature as far as any large multifamily projects there. Try to build one and the neighborhood will show up in droves against you.

Ready for "something" to start "anywhere" in the highlighted area.

Cap that interstate asap, huge park.

Bring on the 2-3 bedroom high rises!

[markhollin]

M2 Development has purchased the 1.7 acre triangular lot at 1308 4th Ave. South for $6.5 million and most likely will have plans for a mixed-use residential project of unknown size. The current business on the site, Choice Construction, bought the land for $425,000  decades ago. The land is located between the Bento Box residential/STR project to the north, and the u.c. Emblem Park Apartments to the south.

Should make for an interesting building hopefully.

I hope they are able to get the capital. It seems like on the Ritz property, they are struggling and this is not an "easy" property. Wait and see.

Easily one of my favorite projects right now. So well done, especially the wood emulating materials used for the ground floors like historic buildings.

• Updating the Chestnut Hill portion of the Wedgewood-Houston/Chestnut Hill UDO to reflect an agreement with the neighborhood to allow for owner-occupied short-term rentals. This legislation also rezones 2nd Ave S. to allow for slightly more density along this corridor. (first reading)

More density in 2nd makes sense.

Need to eventually expand it to 3rd and 4th. But baby steps.

Both this one and the apartment project across the street look like they may start and get completely finished before the hotel project around the corner on 17th that feels like it is now in year 2...

I walk by this project daily, and it’s really moving quickly. That would be unlike The Gilmore, just up the street, which broke ground in the fall of 2020 and is still a deep hole with its lowest level just seeing its concrete floor poured last week. (Yes, it sat idle for more than a year)
