Demand for rental units is peaking. In a hot market, you're going to have a mix of high end developers delivering quality product and carpet bagger "developers" throwing up cheap crap trying to flip it quickly. The renters will be there for both types. So, how do we limit the latter? I'd really like to know what you guys think because we're getting a lot of the crapola.

Two words:  Design.  Guidelines.

In Charleston and Savannah the design restrictions are what makes them successful. Most people like visiting thoughtfully design cities.

Currently behind the paywall, but USN is adding to their school and appears to be about 4 stories... Zeitlin is the architect.

I knew about this one and forgot to put it on the project list. I knew it was on the back and not seeing it just made me forget it.

 

There is also a tower crane up somewhere in the Western edge that looked to be around St. Thomas. I drove by and could not find it, but can see it from I-40. If anyone knows where it is, let me know.

Good job, I was waiting for William to get it on the Post website. Good looking building.

[MLBrumby]

Better than its predecessor in the background... aka the "urinal".

Wow! That's a serious flip!

[NashRugger]

Wow! That's a serious flip!

Not a surprise considering location and the fact it's about as solid an apartment development you'll find anywhere that's brand new.

The Wendy's at Buckingham is now fenced

Church street getting Micro Brewry. I had this on my radar and knew something  was up here. Location is 1612 Church, right next to Midtown Wine and Spirits. This section of Church needs a shot in the arm as there are several vacant buildings lining this section, including the Jim Reed building, Chappys building and the Chris Moore building.

 

On a related note, that being Church street, the market on the corner of 19th and Church is now closed and the car rental facility is moving across the street, all to make way for the 1818 residential building.

Wow are those lines ugly.  The old triple wire wooden poles are bad enough.  These are just obscene.

Another apartment  building planned on 18th.

 

http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2014/05/08/apartment-project-planned-music-row-area/8843455/

 

Addresses 911 and 913 18th Ave. S. and will be four stories.

[Hey_Hey]

I put this in he incorrect thread yesterday about Music Square Flats at 17th and Grand. I'm putting it in the correct one now. Nothing new.

[NashRugger]

I actually like this design, at least with the color scheme and all, it works well.

I was a little worried about that address -- there are some lovely homes around 18th and Grand.

 

The part to the north of Grand (where this actually is), is a patchwork of ugliness. The house they intend to raze is kind of cool, but I can't say it will be a big loss.

FWIW, the twin hotels [spring Hill Suites and Marriott residence Inn] on West End @ 18th have a banner proclaiming "Open Falll 2014."
