LAST UPDATED WED, September 20, 2023:
There are a few construction projects going on in the 12 South neighborhood including some street re-paving and various building projects. Work is sporadic and infrequent and we don't anticipate it being an issue for our guests at all, but want to provide this info just so you can be aware and informed.
There are a few construction projects going on in the 12 South neighborhood including some street re-paving and various building projects. Work is sporadic and infrequent and we don't anticipate it being an issue for our guests at all, but want to provide this info just so you can be aware and informed.
- 12th & Dallas/Paris: Former 21st Century Bookstore Site - Construction on this project began over a year ago (2/18/22) on this site at the end of our street that spans the block of 12th Avenue South from Paris Avenue to Dallas Avenue. This redeveloped space will bring 2 new restaurants and 10 new retail shops plus additional parking (2 story garage) to this prime corner when it is finished. Work typically takes place Mon-Fri from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm. Noise levels during these times fluctuates. Some exterior projects are still underway while most of the current work is on building out the interiors of the retail spaces. Four retailers have already opened: Rag & Bone, PAIGE, La Vie Style House, and Lele Sadoughi. Other confirmed retailers will open Fall 2023 -Spring 2024 and include Alice and Olivia, Hero, Jenni Kayne, Mejuri, and Oliver Peoples. Restaurants will be announced in the next few months and are slated to open 3Q 2024. For more information and current press on this project, you can visit the 12 South Collection Website or click on these articles from Nashville Lifestyles, Nashville Business Journal, or The Nashville Post.
- Sevier Park beautification/restoration project - Sevier Park is one of our favorite neighborhood features and we are excited to see the revitalization project underway. A number of historic buildings are being restored, dead trees were removed, new trees planted, playground area repaired and a new, safer & paved parking lot is being built. There aren't any noise issues from this project, but visitors to the park will find portions of it closed as construction continues, most notably the parking lot. Fortunately the community center, playgrounds, walking path and majority of the green spaces remain open to the public including the area where the 12 South Farmers Market sets up! More information on this $3 Million project can be found HERE.
- The Gilmore - This project was stalled for about 6 months but work has slowly begun again and as of this update are currently pouring cement for the basement-level parking structure. This project is located far enough away from us that noise is not an issue, but it does occasionally affect pedestrian and vehicular traffic on 12th Ave. They have recently re-opened the sidewalk with a covered safety awning so you can continue your stroll down 12th safely and without interruption. You can find info on this development HERE.
- Ashwood 12 South - Located at the opposite end of 12 South from us, this new development is being touted as "The Gateway to 12 South" and is a mixed use office & retail concept. Renderings and other info can be found on their website HERE. As with the Gilmore project, this project is far enough away from The Carriage House that we do not experience noise or parking issues related to this project. However pedestrian and vehicular traffic on that end of the street may be disrupted during the construction process.
