Any rehab of an older structure presents myriad challenges, especially from a design and budget perspective. From the beginning, I viewed the project as a covered land play. Many would have scrapped the buildings. In our case, we spent some money to fix them up and created an amazing community of residents who have been able to live near where they work. From some high profile chefs and hair stylists, to artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, non profit attorneys, and even a Resident- turned Attending at a local hospital. I will gladly sacrifice my design preferences in order to create community. We also wanted to keep our rents in the "workforce housing" range, and we have definitely accomplished that goal. Now, if only MDHA would do their part and help the neighborhood out by fixing up the fire station and the CWA Section 8 apartments they purchased, we'd be on to new heights all around. Even still, thanks to a rising tide in the Nashville market and the graciousness of our wonderful residents (many of whom I am happy to report have been here for 4 years), I will say that this project was a definite home run. Thank you again, William Williams!<br /><br />Best, Chris McCarty<br />chris@dominionrea.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653526513527698317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-84069524875753866092014-03-12T21:32:38.070-05:002014-03-12T21:32:38.070-05:00As built it looks better than the above rendering...As built it looks better than the above rendering.

I hope to see it replaced with something along the lines of the attractive Elliston23. I certainly hope the ugly nearby 1960's-era strip shopping center on West End is demolished as part of that block's total redevelopment.

The building is like a fortress with the huge parking garage. It reminds me of the headquarters of the NSA outside Washington, D.C. Chattanooga is a nice little city, but has some really rough areas outside the central area. The downtown is just way too touristy and filled with chain restaurants catering to the visitors.

They do have parking issues now, though. The Chattanooga Bank building (between Market and Broad on 700 block?) was vacated for a hotel before the economy collapsed. Now it's an empty office building with no way to support it with a parking garage or surface lot. Tons of beautiful buildings are currently empty.CandyAislesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-79145018733872691122013-09-08T18:56:51.282-05:002013-09-08T18:56:51.282-05:00AMous,

It should do extremely well and provide a lot of street traffic between the Music City Center and Hall of Fame. <br /><br />One of your posts mentioned a new bank building being in the shadow of the West End Summit. Do we think the West End Summit will ever start construction. With delays and more delays, there is no way it could be completed by 2015 as advertised. How could a huge project that has approved received tax incentives and leases from HCA not start to rise? What about the hotel? There seems to be no information at all from Alex Palmer & Co. on this project.

The downtown area is so touristy, especially on weekends with Aquarium visitors that it often reminds me of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with chain restaurants and little diversity. The art museum and district are quite nice, but have been devoid of visitors each time we have visited. There are a couple of restaurants in this area, but they have also been largely empty, even on weekend nights. The area across the river seems much more urban and hip and is where we plan to return in the future. The riverfront is quite nice, but it is sad to see the once-proud Delta Queen sitting idle and looking quite rundown.

WW, I like the idea of the buildings addressing the street. There are similar projects like that developing around the country. I'd much prefer to see a store like Ikea located in the area with a parking garage on it the back side or underneath, like the one in Northern VA that's near an outlet mall. The parking garage spreads the full length and width of the building but is only visible from the back side. Ikea would be an ideal retail store for Charlotte Pike. CB2 (Crate & Barrel 2) would also be ideal. As a matter of fact, Nashville seems to be lacking a design center area for homes/condo's and apartments. Maybe Charlotte Pike between the North Gulch and inner loop would be an ideal area to develop such an area to be concentrated with interior design/furniture retailers.PillowTalk4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-72693483370500530762013-07-28T20:24:19.324-05:002013-07-28T20:24:19.324-05:00There is a development on Moreland north of Little...There is a development on Moreland north of Little Five Points in Atlanta that has a fairly urban orientation, with buildings addressing the street.

And, I quite like Nashville West. It is a great addition to West Nashville. And, that I guess is more of my point. It serves west Nashville more so than the areas you pointed out as being developed (North Gulch, North Midtown and I think you can add Germantown and the underserved areas of north Nashville from Germantown towards the TSU campus.<br /><br />I'm all for maintaining the funkiness of the area if it can enhanced as an attraction not as something people just drive through on their way in and out of work in downtown. Given the density of the areas that Charlotte Pike could serve, to me it needs something along the style of Nashville West. Personally, I don't think that a similar project of that style would hurt Nashville West. I'm even okay with it not being built as one massive property. My point is Charlotte Pike inside I-440 could use similar stores to serve a different area because of the growing density of residential developments in the northern areas surrounding downtown. If additional residential developments are combined with the commercial development, then it would be on scale with Potomac Yard.PillowTalk4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372532189502857584.post-46923542886095094972013-07-26T10:51:42.176-05:002013-07-26T10:51:42.176-05:00We already have a Potomac Yard on Charlotte via Na...We already have a Potomac Yard on Charlotte via Nashville West Shopping Center. As a resident who lives two blocks off Charlotte between 440 and White Bridge the last thing i'd want to see is another big box store. We can drive two miles to a number of them. The addition of ML Rose, The Stone Fox, Nuvo Burrito, and Thistle Stop Cafe have all been great additions, with Porter Road Butcher soon to follow. I'll take these busineses any day over a Subway. An Old Navy? C'mon man. <br /><br />The historic strectch of buildings across from Richland Park still has untapped potential, with the thrift stores and Headquarters coffee currently keeping this stretch worth visiting. It would be nice for additional restaurants and boutiques to begin surrounding them. The redevelopment of the former Hostess Bakery Outlet at 42nd ave is very much welcomed, and i'm hoping for a Turnip Truck esque tennant to pop up there or somewhere along this stretch of Charlotte.<br /><br />Given the number of proposed, planned, and rumoured developments along Charlotte and the quality of developers behind them, I find it hard to be down or negative on Charlotte's future. It may never turn into a 12 South or carry the ultra cool tag East Nashville does, but i'm fine with that. Once the North Gulch and North Midtown areas pop Charlotte will follow. In the meantime, enjoy the funkiness Charlotte has to offer.Chadnoreply@blogger.com
