Mid-rise residential buildings with retail and restaurants, commercial and office space, and a new hotel are among future development planned as part of a proposed Major League Soccer stadium at the city's Fairgrounds Nashville.

The ownership group leading Nashville's MLS expansion bid unveiled new details about the 10-acre private, mixed-use development piece of Mayor Megan Barry's $275 million stadium proposal on Monday.

It comes after some Metro Council members have criticized the lack of specifics about a plan to allow private developers, led by MarketStreet Enterprises, to build on and profit from fairgrounds land that the city owns.

Buildings on realigned road would be up to five stories tall

Under updated conceptual drawings delivered to council members, multiple mixed-use residential buildings would flank the west side of a new realigned street that would connect Nolensville Pike and the stadium on the fairgrounds site. Each would be around three- to five-stories tall and have ground-level retail and restaurants.

The residential units would be both market-rate and affordable housing, the latter of which has been a priority for Barry. On the opposite side of the same reworked street — which still lacks a name — there would be surface parking for the fairgrounds and stadium.

The new plan calls for commercial office space at the intersection of Walsh Road and the new street as well as a hotel on the north wide of Walsh Road.

Dirk Melton, development director at MarketStreet, said current MLS clubs and other cities vying for expansion teams have embraced the inclusion of ancillary development to activate areas around their stadiums when games aren't going on.

"That's what we're trying to do here," Melton told reporters Monday, stressing that plans aren't finalized and that the community will get to weigh in.

"Certainly, this is a project that's going to require a lot of public input," Melton said. "This is a community-based project and one that responds to the unique character of this part of the neighborhood."

Questions linger even after release of new details; hotel size not finalized

The family of Steve Turner and son Jay Turner, who lead MarketStreet, have a minority stake in the Nashville MLS ownership group led by Nashville businessman John Ingram.

Councilman Jeremy Elrod, who is among the council members who have expressed concerns about the private development component, said he appreciates receiving the additional details. But he said he still worries about the concept of handing over valuable city land for private development on top of eight acres where the stadium would be built.

"I just have concerns about the process — that it's essentially a single-bidder for developing 10 acres of what's about to be a really popular site," Elrod said.

"It just goes to the heart of the question: Are we building a soccer stadium or are we building a stadium along with developing part of the fairgrounds? It's a question of what we're comfortable with. I don't know the answer to that yet."

The fairgrounds property is valued at around $1 million per acre, according to the mayor's office.

Melton said a company has not been chosen to operate the hotel, nor have the developers decided on a number of rooms. He said plans for new convention-type space at the fairgrounds would help feed the demand for a nearby hotel.

"We're encouraged by it," he said. "We think it would be complimentary to the improved fairgrounds uses and the types of events that they could attract to these area."

The office space near the fairgrounds would be equipped for a range of different companies.

"That could be everything from some of the creative office-type users that are showing up in Wedgewood-Houston already to more of the corporate type users that are looking at Nashville for relocations," Melton said.

Public hearing set for Tuesday night

The site plan calls for 5,100 parking spaces at the fairgrounds, which the ownership says is adequate for the proposed 27,500-seat stadium.

Barry's stadium plan calls for existing fairgrounds expo facilities to be rebuilt and for future upgrades at the fairgrounds speedway. Barry's administration has said current events, including auto racing, flea markets and the annual state fair, would continue even with MLS at the fairgrounds.

A public hearing on the stadium proposal is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the fairgrounds.

The Metro Council is slated to take up a $225 million revenue bond resolution for the stadium on Nov. 7.

If the stadium is approved and Nashville is awarded a team, the plan would be to file legislation next year for the zoning change needed for the private development.
