ReStore Rejects.  Their decorator needs to study up on ADA laws by the looks of it.

Actual core drill taking place on Parking lot behind Hume Fogg now. Still trying to find out what is proposed.

Progress being made on Stirr restaurant at 127 3rd Ave S.

The Arcade news: Three of the long-term tenants have been asked to stay by new owners Rob Lowe/Linfield Capital.  They are  Manny's House of Pizza, The Peanut Shop, and Percy's Show Shine Service.   Monty's Barber Shop has decided it will relocate. Status of the Post Office is unclear. Once the current rehabilitation is completed, status is uncertain for the multiple art galleries on the historic retail building’s second floor.

Many of the conventional leases of the businesses in The Arcade expire this month or in March and April. Most other tenants operate month-to-month.

“Our intention is to be good stewards of the historic property,” Lowe said. “Having been a patron of The Arcade for 30 years, I — as well as all involved — am sensitive to and aware of the transition and the impact on the businesses.”

So, not all of the tenants were asked to stay?    Wonder if Manny, Peanut Shop and Percy were offered to remain at their same rent?

The 1 story structure at 610 Magazine St. (1/4 acre) that was built in 1960 and currently houses Barista Parlor has been sold for $4.42 million to MarketStreet Enterprises. No word on their plans, or if Barista Parlor will be staying (they just opened a new location 2 blocks to the north inside The W Hotel).   MarketStreet owns the building immediately to the south at 609 Overton that is being repurposed for a retail entity.

The 3 parcel .78 acre lot with a main address of 125 7th Ave. North that has been a surface lot for at least 3 decades appears to be slated for a major project by an unknown developer. It is unclear if the Carell family that owns it is selling or leasing. There are survey and core drilling markings on the site.  Still unclear if the  1 story buildings to the west at 136 and 138 Rosa L. Parks Blvd. (Red Phone Booth and Bella Selfie bars) will be part of this or not.

Good question. it seems like it auto defaulted to a smaller text. I thought I had zoomed out on my chrome and didn't think twice about it hahaha

This will be a great hole to fill. Another parking lot bites the dust.

And the Renaissance Nashville Hotel is due for a fresh neighbor. 

[chris holman]

An art deco tower would look well in this location.

Interesting that they have broken ground, yet they have no permits finalized and still have a meeting in front of Metro Planning Commission coming up on March 24th for final site plan. RaganSmith has also submitted for their Stormwater and Grading permit, but the final site plan needs to be approved prior to any building permits being issued.

I have seen this happen before. It pretty much means it is a done deal.

It wasn't always evil.  But demons did take over and hell night lasted for far too long.   Maybe that's why it appears the project has stalled.

Drift's website says opening summer of 2022.  Obviously that's not going to happen.  There's no info on the project at all on the the MTLC Building Group's site.

This building should have died decades ago in the same way as the Scottish Inn that was on the opposite side of the interstate....

Not sure what is happening at 1600 10th Ave North (Christ Temple Church North).  Is the congregation still active and major renovations going on, or is this being rehabbed into something else?  The structure was originally built in 1900.
