ULI Best Practices are manifest in this project at every turn.

35 music square east
35 Music Square East is a leader in many ways: It’s a shining example of successfully building for Nashville’s creative class while facing challenges from a fragile re-emerging market, a potential historic overlay and lack of asset class examples. Even given this, what resulted were innovative spaces and lessons on how to balance market success with development restrictions. These results were achieved through sensitivity to and appreciation of the history and culture of its loca-tion and creative problem solving among a first-class project team. This project provides a thriving development example for the ‘new’ Music Row.

1100 charlotte avenue
1100 Charlotte is the first building of what promises to be a game-changing new neighborhood extending the CBD. The lynchpin of a new ‘community-creating’ district where there had once been rubble, 1100 Charlotte faced flood plain and environmental challenges and architectural concerns of building in an emerging urban neighborhood: Dynamic collaborations successfully influenced design decisions. 1100 Charlotte is like the flag planted by a major community institution to shape the coming ‘new town-in town.’ It is expected to continue to catalyze investments and to influence build-out referencing many ULI Best Practices.

2963 sidco drive
2963 Sidco Drive is a top-notch demonstration of how eye-catching, yet sensitive architecture and progressive, comprehensive interior design can transform a non-descript under-performing property in to new class A office space: This transformation realizes substantially increased rents and yields increased property tax revenues. New jobs are now supported here and other similar ‘before’ properties in this emerging district are taking ‘cues’ from 2963 Sidco Drive on how to re-develop...in a ‘Class A’ way.

the belcourt theatre
This community jewel had lost its luster, its structural integrity and its revenue steam was stalling. Through diverse collaborations, a successful funding campaign, and creative design and construction solutions, this ‘new’ old landmark is now rejuvenated. The Belcourt Theatre is serving more patrons and users and making more money than it ever has. Brand new revenue streams have been opened and The Belcourt is once again bringing added vitality to its urban neighborhood. Not bad for an ‘old guy’.

centennial park—phase i master plan implementationWoefully under programmed, under-appreciated and in many ways increasingly overlooked, the implementation of the Centennial Park Master Plan—Phase 1 showcases this historically impor-tant open space as the impactful resource it once was…and could be again. Historical roots uncovered and celebrated, Centennial Park demonstrates how partnerships and opening new revenue streams make public open space a smart ‘investment’ in our city for its citizens.

edgehill village
An evolving urban neighborhood was struggling to define and support its unique commercial node. Through strategic cultivation and introduction of new tenants and mix of uses, careful redesign of interior spaces to embrace the beauty of the building’s past, and re-discovery of its most quaint and funky untapped opportunities, this attractive well-crafted community commercial gathering place now has an equally vibrant financial future.

hill center five points
Investing in one of its legacy properties, Hill Center Five Points shows how to delicately rebuild in a historic district in a way that honors the past but that opens new business opportunities for the future. Introducing new uses along this underde-veloped corridor, this project has begun to catalyze investment. Hill Center Five Points’ innovative, comprehensive handling of storm water, and techniques of urban neighborhood-oriented development with dark sky lighting, reduced parking to allow mobility choices, and use of recycled materials is arguably the standard from which other similar scale projects should take cues.

the old, old jail: the big house for historic preservationTurning black mold and lead paint into an art deco gem, The Heritage Foundation of Franklin and Williamson Co. literally saved this diamond in the rough and created a home for itself and the community in the Old, Old Jail. Embracing and preserving ‘jail-references’ throughout the deliberate restoration, the renewed building introduces air and light at every turn...which you wouldn’t find in a jail! This project takes on a new life as a community resource where there had only been shambles (and a health hazard!)

thompson nashville
The Thompson Nashville is a lot about ‘firsts’… First new-build lifestyle hotel in the city, first to use a paradigm-shifting urban parking solution using car lifts, first in attention to every curated design detail and, arguably, first as a private development to embrace being the ‘neighborhood’s development’: The Thompson considers its lobby as its ‘living room’ and its rooftop deck as ‘the destination’ to enjoy a sunset. Because of sensitive decisions on architecture, siting, materials and street presence, this ‘missing piece’ in the Gulch feels like it seamlessly belongs.

the turnip truck
At every turn, The Turnip Truck celebrates ‘community’. Strategic site selection turned an abandoned lot on an under-developed corridor into a destination. Not only did it introduce healthy foods in what had been a food desert, but Turnip Truck also provides a place to gather, see and be seen, and to build and support the community. Deliberate design and architectural decisions coax that community in and help shape their experiences. Turnip Truck demonstrates that smart business decisions and financial returns can come from building for a community through strategic development and design decisions.

vanderbilt engineering and science building“A cross-discipline collaborative learning space that promotes creativity and entrepreneurship.” In many ways, that could describe ULI but instead, it describes the Vanderbilt Engineering and Science Bldg: The facility that houses these innovative academic and research activities (another tenet of ULI!) breaks the traditional ‘box’ so that the building supports and encourages the unique programming within. Even the siting decision to place the Vanderbilt Engineering & Science Bldg in the middle of campus reflects and supports its use: That is, the confluence of disciplines, of activities, of participants.

warehouse at armory park
This project features a remarkable transition from a non-descript facade into a welcoming entry that has increased property values throughout Armory Park. This new ‘gateway’ building goes above ‘good enough’ by introducing walkability into the develop-ment. This feature serves the needs of the tenants and the neighboring developments, promotes healthy lifestyles and enhances circulation and connectivity within the campus. It demonstrates to other office retrofits how to enhance development by introducing walkways. This redeveloped warehouse now has eye-catching curb appeal as it announces arrival to the Armory Park Office community.
