That's me in the 5th floor SE corner office waving at you.  Keep your hands off my building. ; )  Been working out of this building for 19 years now. Kind of like the old girl.

 

Interesting.   ...and now I learn something these days.  never knew anyone personally who even had any association with that building.  (I have to be mindful then, that I might be under watch from above)

Mixed-use project targeted for Jefferson St, a couple of doors down from the Otey Center. 4 stories with 2-3 retail spaces, and apartments on the upper levels.  Nice to see something like this coming up on that side of Jefferson! https://www.nashvillepost.com/news/2015/1/20/jefferson_street_targeted_for_mixed_use_project

Well, that's a start.  That strip of upper Jefferson hasn't seen any development in quite a while, except for the Otey Center itself.

Shelby should know the answer about the tent. Shelby....

I think it was a vender for an event at the MCC, didn't pay much attention to it.

Tony sold the garage to the Specialized Parking Systems (old Central Park). The garage is being razed and replaced by surface parking. They are in talks to combine the property with the lot on the back side (9th North) and market the parcel but so far no luck.

 

I thought that was a property Tony G owned and once hinted he might build residential on it. You think there would have been rumors leaking out if anything were impending.

[NashRugger]

Truthfully, it just washes out then. However, that joined property will be highly marketable and a good location for a mid-rise residential building or perhaps a low rise of good retail.

Construction has started on Waffle House near Sonics off the river in Bordeaux. Perhaps the best view of Downtown while eating hashbrowns?

[BnaBreaker]

Man do I love me some Waffle House! I don't care what anyone says...that place is the s**t! Wish we had them in Chicago.

[Paramount747]

Great! Another surface parking lot! We cannot have too many of those!!!!!

So they are finally going to pave that gravel lot on 9th and Church?

[Paramount747]

Everytime I drive down 11th I think the same. Such potential to have something similar to printers alley. If only I had boatloads of money I would try and develop it myself

Most of the time people with money have no vision, and people with vision have no money.

Is the Otey Center leased up? It seems to always have vacant spaces when I pass through.

That's why they hire people (architects) with no money to make their dreams come true.

Love that lighting! That's quite a transformation from the little cinderblock building that is under there somewhere.

[NashvilleTaylor]

Architects have money. I wish I made what architects make. Hell I wish I was an architect.

^^^^Yeah. And all musicians are rich too.

Yes.  Yes we are.  That's why I live in a condo in Smyrna.

Don't take offense guys. I was trying to be sarcastic, in response to the "architects have money" comment. Sometimes attitude is lost in the inter webs.

FYI. Had 6 small bushes stolen out front of my house on Athur this evening. Even though it was well lit between 8-11pm.

Somebody stole your bushes?!  Now that's a gentrified neighborhood!!

What a strange thing for somebody to steal.  

[mundiejc]

We had bushes stolen from our reno at 1600 17th Ave N.

 

It happens pretty regularly actually. Especially when they've just been planted. 

 

Lots of stuff going on in Elizabeth Park and North Nashville as a whole. New construction on Delta that appears to be personal. Spec builds underway at 10th and Clay and on Arthur just south of Buchanan. Remodels ongoing on 10th Ave N, two on 17th Ave N, a really nice bungalow that appears to be near completion at Underwood and 21st. Another remodel on 12th between Clay and Cass.

 

The investor I work with is working on one on 22nd Ave N and we'll be starting another at 21st and Heiman Feb 1.

 

Odyssey Construction has a map on their website indicating they have about 6 properties they will be building new construction on between Buchanan and Metro Center.

 

We are closing on our remodel on 11th Ave N on Jan 30th at 262,400. 2100 square feet.

4 spiral evergreens = a dime rock in the hood.  I had a guy try to sell me a ceiling fan with a piece of drywall still attached to it a couple of years ago in Swetts parking lot.
