Wedgewood-Houston, one of the most organized neighborhoods in Nashville, is undergoing a major transformation which is primarily concentrated on previously underutilized commercial and industrial zoned land. The area is quickly becoming one of the most desirable in the central core given its designation as a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ), attention to walkability, creator and maker spaces, and informed architecture by some of Nashville’s top design firms.
Adjacent properties along this segment of 4th Avenue are also starting to see increased development activity with projects both planned and currently underway. This in addition to major investments in the Wedgewood Houston area given its central location to the fairgrounds and downtown. The map below shows adjacent development for context.
