2300 Franklin Pike

This building was an old Beaman Automotive dealership.  I got my car fixed here once!  Also, turns out it's in the City of Berry Hill, so there's that.  It's on the lot fronting Franklin between Melpark Dr. and Bradford Ave.




Currently under construction on the site is a $33 Million, 266-unit apartment complex.
It will apparently be called "23Hundred at Berry Hill".

Yeah, that's a familiar style...

1226 16th Ave. S.

I mentioned the Note16 development yesterday but had totally forgotten that there was an existing structure on the property before construction started. Luckily it's still available on Google Street View (though you can't get a great look at it through the trees):

A pretty ugly 2-story brick structure. In the past this building was something called the "International English Institute" as well as the "Council on Community Service". Which are both pretty vague. I'm not sure when the building was built, probably late 60s or early 70s.

1811 21st Ave S.

This one is a big deal, locally.  The building at the corner of 21st Ave. S. and Acklen in Hillsboro Village has been demolished and will be replaced (by local juggernaut Hill Realty) with a larger mixed residential / retail building.  It will apparently have 47 apartments, which was scaled down from the original plans because of the area's zoning overlay, which limits height. 

The old building was a single-story strip that housed the Zeitgeist Gallery, Posh Boutique, Cotton Music, Retropolitan, Peabody Shoe Repair, and a cosmetics shop.  I think it also included the All Fired Up pottery studio in the rear.
