The Nashville Zoo has a new Leopard Forest exhibit opening that will be part of a long-term plan of an immersion exhibit where our guests feel they are on a true African safari. The exhibit will encompass forty acres which is larger than most zoos in their entirety.  Also, the new parking garage is now open that will expand capacity to 2,800 cars.

Tanger Outlets and the new apartments and development at Century Farms near where I am staying.  

Tanger is a Greensboro NC based outlet mall developer and this is their new design basically a long rectangle with parking in the center.  

Lots of new apartments around.  Is this CHS office building not yet opened or what is the story?  It looks completed yet empty and I thought I saw a homeless person coming out behind the bushes.  

Is there still room for an IKEA if they decide to come back to their site here I thought I saw a spot big enough?

I did see a permit there is supposed to be a Drury Plaza Hotel out there too. They are not done with this project. I was wondering where you were staying Kevin. I am sure the hotel rates were not real cheap here either!

Thanks for posting the updates.

I was at Nashville Zoo today and it appears that the new parking structure is not quite finished and not yet being used. It’s still a very active construction zone. (They may have opened it temporarily for spring break crowds with a construction pause)

Hickory Hollow/Global Mall at Crossings update: all but the four anchor buildings are going to be razed, partly due to water damage.

“Every version of a master plan or vision for the mall involves the interior being gone, and it is in poor condition right now,” says Bob Mendes, Metro Development Officer.  “The four anchor buildings are completely fine, but the interior portion has water intrusion that is significant and appears to be deteriorating. … Since the interior needs to come down at some point anyway, we’re going ahead and looking at what the pricing and timing would be to demolish the interior.”

“Hopefully there’s agreement that, after the city has invested $45 million so far on a 70-acre mall, it’s clearly an asset for the city,” Mendes said this week. “It will need to work for the southeast part of the county, but it’s clearly an asset for the whole county.”

I know she had to go for progress.  But, I'm going to miss the ole girl.  She stood her ground and staked her place for decades as an iconic symbol of corporate representation in Nashville.  I almost wish they had just imploded her instead of putting her through this painful demolition.

I remember when I was a kid it was the Colemere  Club. It would be nice if somebody could find a way to relocate it somewhere else instead of demolishing it.

I think the biggest obstacle is finding the money, because it would be VERY costly.

The former 3 story motel on 2.9 acres at 1210 Murfreesboro Pike is going to be converted into an 119 unit residential complex by Adam Rosenburg.  He paid $2.8 million for the property.  He has converted several other area motels to similar residential complexes in recent years.

Just saw a Nashville post article about investors creating Nashville's first Chinatown in Antioch, anchored by an upscale Asian supermarket. Do we think this could be Nashville’s first H mart/has anyone heard any rumors on potential tenants?

I certainly welcome this project, and any project that aims to expand the culinary and cultural offerings in the city, but the investors calling this a "Chinatown" seems a bit grandiose and disingenuous.  I mean I know it's just investors trying to sell their project, so I guess it's fine, but it just feels weird to say 'they're bringing the first Chinatown to the city' as if the concept of a Chinatown is like an Ikea or a Six Flags or something, as opposed to it being a neighborhood that developed organically over time as a result of the concentration of Chinese immigrants moving to the area over the course of multiple generations.  But anyway, as often is the case, I'm probably overthinking this.  Ultimately it doesn't really matter I suppose.  lol
