The variance request is for a leasing outbuilding that is tied into the already built development in the back

BZA approved the variance. It appears that the ownership has some preliminary thoughts on a future phase, but nothing has been submitted. Below is a preliminary sketch that popped in one of the BZA documents.

I think it is just going to be the apartment office according to the docs I read last week. I almost got excited until I saw it was only one small building.

Wierd but more appelling than so many plain vanilla boxes going up here.  Certainly distinctive.  They must be are a huge departure from the rest of the neighborhood though. What do the nearby residents think of them.  i suspect they are appalled and pissed off.

Man I wish property rights were strong enough that what nearby residents think of the aesthetics of a couple new builds was unimportant.

Two developments along Eastland Avenue that I don't think have been posted here.

Shelby Green, a 20-unit development adjacent to the golf course in Shelby Park. Some complete and sold and some still under construction. 2208 Eastland Avenue was purchased and demolished to provide access to the undeveloped and landlocked property. The first shot is from inside the property looking back toward Eastland; the second is looking into the property from Eastland.

And a 10-unit development at the northeast corner of Eastland and Riverside. It replaces a circa-1950 ranch home and a vacant lot next to an electrical transmission tower.

I can't find one building permit related to the townhomes I see the water and sewer permits but permits are so screwy it is understandable. Our old buddy Duane Culthbertson that attended meetings a number of years ago did the heavy lifting on the project.

It looks nice, but not much like an event space (OK, maybe a church!).I wonder why Madison went with that rustic look. I seem to recall from previous posts here that this is a part of a larger town center type of development. Is there a Madison town government or was this a Metro project? 

That stone/brick wall looks as though it could actually be very old.  Is there some reference to history? Any of our construction experts here know how much/less the rustic look affects cost as opposed to a more "streamlined" contemporary look?  

Not related to this project... I was pretty shocked how bad traffic is in Madison when I drove through there last winter.

It is a private project.  The concept is a throwback to country music barn dances and radio shows of the 30s-50s. 

Here is the interior (which will include a balcony) under construction.  The main floor can be set in various configurations (proscenium, in-the-round, banquet, weddings, etc.) and is wired for radio and TV broadcasts. 

 

Interior render:

[markhollin]

An open-air bar, wine shop, retail, restaurants, and entertainment — but at the forefront, a space for the community to just gather. That’s what the development, operating under Lost and Found LLC, hopes to bring to 3104 Gallatin Pk. by early next year.

Purchase wine to take home or uncork and enjoy there + find pairings at the cheese and charcuterie shop, which will likely be a part of the two-story bar.

Other dining options include rotating food trucks.

Approximately three bays will host additional tenants. Though nothing has been confirmed, Weinberg is working with two well-known brands, one wanting to open a brick-and-mortar and the other expanding its brick-and-mortar footprint.

Anticipate ~30 spaces + street parking nearby. Bus stops 56 and 4 are also adjacent to the property.

The lawn will host live music and outdoor movie nights, among other events.

The soon-to-open new Nashville Public Library-Donelson Branch, looking good in the twilight of Monday evening.

Looks like we are being setup for a "battle of the drive-thru" up in Madison. In-N-Out Burger has applied for final site plan approval for a location adjacent to the RiverGate Mall. The site includes the restaurant with drive-thru lane and a total of 123 Parking Spaces. This lot is also adjacent to the termination of the 56 Bus Route and is currently a large parking lot. Presumably alot of these parking spots are shared as a sort-of park and ride for the 56 Route

The restaurant is proposed for the lot adjacent to the Chic-Fil-A that is always busy.

[BnaBreaker]

In n out is coming to Rivergate?  Wow... they might want to pump the breaks on tearing the mall down!  Haha

The new Whataburger is like a block away too…

[smeagolsfree]

All the need is a Raisin Caines. The one on White Bridge is always busy and honestly, I do not know why. I am sure it is sort of like Chick filet. Chick Filet is OK, but nothing to write home about. I do not go out of my way to eat there or any fast food in general. I may have a burger every now and then. Once a month at most, but good gosh their prices are as high as most of the sit downs restaurants anymore.
