Developer Wood Partners has submitted plans for a new multifamily development on the 8 South Corridor near the Gulch. The proposed 6-story apartment building is located on a long-vacant site which has seen a few development proposals over the past 7 years. The site has a reference address of 900 8th Avenue S, steps from the Gulch and Downtown Nashville.

The property was rezoned to SP-MU zoning in 2019 for up to 300 multifamily units. At the time the rezoning proposal was for a residential, office, & hospitality, mixed use development. In 2021, local developer CA South proposed a 300-unit residential mixed-use development. CA South has a number of new projects along this same corridor including another under construction near the intersection of 8 South and Chestnut Street.

A request has now been submitted to amend the Specific Plan approval for the collection of properties that make up the site. Once approved, the amendment will permit 365 units on the 3.05 acres site. The request was made by Fulmer Lucas Engineering, on behalf of the property owner. Here’s the quick rundown:
