Plans have been submitted for the redevelopment of multiple properties in the fast-growing Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. The project is composed of two different site locations with a total of 6 new development projects:
- Site A proposes 3 mixed-use buildings along Houston Street between Martin & Brown Streets.
- Site B proposes another 3 buildings along Humphreys Street between Martin & Pillow Streets.
Located in Council District 17, the project includes office & residential development over storefront retail. The retail component activates nearly all street facing frontage with the exception of lobbies and BOH spaces. Additionally, the plan includes a historic preservation component.
A request for final site plan approval for a collection of 12 Properties was recently submitted. Once approved, the 6.12 acres will permit a mixed-use development. The request was submitted by Barge Cauthen & Associates on behalf of Nashville Phase III Property Holder LLC. Here’s the quick rundown:
