Key Real Estate Co. has submitted its request for final site plan approval for phase one of 1505 Dickerson Pike. The mixed-use development will create 265-units with street-level retail along the Dickerson Pike transit corridor. The project is located between Dickerson Pike and Luton Street in East Nashville; the address is 1505 Dickerson Pike.

The Dickerson Pike transit corridor has seen a wave of new development proposals over the last 5 years with many moving closer to or under construction. The map below shows a sample of active projects between Spring Street & East Trinity. However, there are more projects within this segment of Dickerson Pike which are in various stages of preliminary planning.

1505 Dickerson Pike was approved for rezoning in December 2021 from CS/CL to SP zoning. The approved plan included 300-units in phase 1 and 350-units in phase 2. Additionally, the plan encompassed 20,000 max sf of commercial space between the two phases.
A request for final site plan approval was recently submitted for Phase 1, which now includes a total of 265-units with retail facing Dickerson Pike. The project only required administrative approval to permit the mixed-use development on the 6.89 acres site. The request was submitted by Thomas & Hutton on behalf of the property owner. Here’s the quick rundown:
