Upcoming Projects Defining The Next Era Of Wedgewood-Houston In Nashville.

Wedgewood-Houston (WeHo) has become one of the hottest neighborhoods for growth in recent years.  Its proximity to Downtown and popular neighborhoods such as The Gulch, 12 South, as well as destinations such as Geodis Park, has made it a hotbed for development opportunity. While neighborhoods across Nashville are seeing growth, central WeHo stands out as it has captured the attention and talent of local, national, and global developers, designers, and contractors.  Names like Hines, AJ Capital Partners, SomeraRoad, and Wedgewood Avenue, to name a few, continue to shape the way we will live work and play in the area.

I would like to give a special thanks to Meg Epstein, CEO of CA South for sponsoring this feature. CA South is currently developing The Modernest WeHo, a new STR Condo on 4th Ave near Geodis Park.

Up until roughly 2018, central WeHo sat predominantly underutilized with industrial and warehouse uses.  However, it did have a dynamic art scene which groups are looking to preserve and grow with the neighborhood.  The area now has multiple art galleries, retailers and restaurants, offices, apartments, and an upcoming landmark music venue.  The image below shows development progress from 2020 to 2025.

Here’s a quick overview of upcoming developments across central WeHo which will define the next era for residents, and visitors alike.

Modernest WeHo is designed around a flexible ownership model that allows buyers to live in their residence, rent it to generate income for any period of time, or seamlessly do both over time.  Sales have officially commenced at the new condominium development along 4th Avenue. With construction underway and deliveries anticipated for early 2027, the project offers a range of residences – from studios to three-bedroom homes with dens priced from the low $300s. 

This approach reflects how buyers use real estate today, offering optionality without sacrificing a refined residential experience.

Designed with longevity in mind, Modernest WeHo features clean architecture, efficient floor plans, and timeless materials curated by LA based Studio APA. The residences appeal to primary homeowners, second-home buyers, and those seeking income-generating flexibility in a supply-constrained submarket. To learn more visit the website by clicking the link (here).
