The project marks a major addition to both the Nashville skyline and the infill of 4th avenue in the SoBro sub district. It also follows the recent trend of new high-profile hotel/condo projects in the downtown core. 319 Peabody is the 2nd tallest proposed tower Downtown; located a few streets over is the upcoming 60-story condo/apartment tower named Paramount. The image below shows a sample of the adjacent developments for context.
The property is permitted for 8-stories by-right, will pursue approximately 31-stories using the bonus height program, and achieve the remaining floors through a request for overall height modification. The property is zoned DTC and within the Rutledge Hill Redevelopment District. Once approved, the request will permit the 53-story hotel and condominium tower on the 0.35 acre site. The request was submitted by the property owner, here’s the quick rundown:
