Work at the Finery is heating up in Wedgewood Houston. Located just minutes from downtown Nashville, the project will feature more than 700,000 square feet of mixed-use once complete. The entire project consists of a mass-timber office building as well as a residential mixed-use development. The project is bounded by Merritt Avenue, Gray Street, Hagan Street, & Martin Street.
Construction of the project was announced last year and the site has since started to take shape. The development will feature 383 unique residences with amenity, office, & retail uses. According the Hines, amenities will include restaurants, cafes, retail services, fitness options, and outdoor gathering spaces. Additionally, the mixed-use district will feature creative office spaces as well as a unique set of retail, entertainment, and hospitality uses.
