IMG_4645 The co-developers of a project planned for Germantown have eliminated a residential component and will focus on retail and office with a mid-fall start eyed, The Tennessean reports.

Karl Peters and Leonard Amdur have received approval from the Metro Historic Zoning Commission for a two-story building (pictured, in part, above) with 2,600 square feet of street-level retail space and 5,400 square feet of second-story office space. The building would sit on the southeast corner of the intersection of Monroe Street and Rosa L. Parks Boulevard.

Hattie B’s hot chicken restaurant will take the retail space.

Previously, nine residences were planned (read more here ).


Music Row-area site targeted for 10 residences

Nashville-based Gulchetto Enterprises will go before the Metro Planning Commission Thursday, Oct. 13, to seek final site plan approval on property located near Music Row for a small-scale residential project.

Rosa.57bf3cefe1ec5 The 10-residences would sit on a 0.38-site located at the northeast corner of Hawkins Street and 13th Avenue South (see here courtesy of Google Maps) south of The Gulch and east of Music Row. The address is at 1212 Hawkins Street.

Gulchetto is undertaking Phase 1 of a sister project (read more here ) located on a site with addresses of 1212 Hawkins St. and 1119 and 1121 Sigler St.

Barge Cauthen & Associates is handling land planning for the developer.


Downtown building hits market for $7.5M

A six-story brick office located within the central business district’s western fringe is listed for sale for $7.5 million, Nashville Business Journal reports.

The building (see here courtesy of Google Maps) has an address of 814 Church St. and is located near the site of the proposed $167 million federal courthouse and the former LifeWay Christian Resources campus for which San Diego-based Southwest Value Partners paid $125 million in late 2015.

The local office of real estate brokerage firm Avison Young has the listing.

Frank Mastrapasqua, founder of Mastrapasqua Asset Management, owns the property and operates his business from it.


McNeilage sells Columbia property

Nashville-based real estate investor and developer Bruce McNeilage has sold a Columbia, Tennessee, property for $1.1 million.

McNeilage and a silent business partner created Landmark Apartments of Tennessee LLC to acquire the property in 2009 for $550,000. The property is located at 903 and 913 E. End St.

The buyer was Landmark Columbia LLC.

“This goes to show the strong demand for rental properties at all class levels in the middle Tennessee area,” McNeilage said.

McNeilage has undertaken various adaptive reuse and new-construction projects in Davidson County, including Solo East, his latest.

Renting a houses is becoming increasingly popular, particularly due to factors like rising housing prices and the preference for the flexibility of renting over buying. This trend is driven by both individual choices and shifts in the housing market. Here's why renting houses is gaining traction: Rising Housing Costs: The cost of buying a home, including mortgage rates and property taxes, has become a significant barrier for many, leading them to consider renting as a more affordable option. Market Imbalance: In many areas, the demand for homes exceeds the supply, making it difficult and costly to find a suitable property. This imbalance can push more individuals into the rental market. Flexibility and Lifestyle: Renting offers more flexibility than buying, allowing individuals to move more easily for work, family, or other personal reasons. Renting can also provide a lifestyle that's less focused on long-term property ownership and maintenance. Shift in Preferences: A growing number of people, particularly younger generations, are prioritizing experiences and flexibility over the long-term commitment and financial burden of home ownership. Built-to-Rent Communities: Developers are building entire communities of single-family homes specifically for renters, further signaling the growing demand for this type of housing. Increased Inventory: The rental market has seen an increase in available properties, making it more attractive to renters who may have previously been hesitant due to limited options. Lower Maintenance Costs: Renters don't have to worry about maintenance, repairs, or property taxes, which can be significant expenses for homeowners. In conclusion, the factors mentioned above contribute to the increasing popularity of renting houses, especially in the context of a challenging housing market and evolving consumer preferences.
