A trio of Nashville-based real estate investors is hoping to develop a three-story mixed-use building in the heart of Five Points on the city's east side.

Jim Foley, vice president with the local office of CBRE, and Justin Prince and Doug Martin have enlisted Nashville-based Quirk Designs to handle architectural duties. The team will go before the Metro Development and Housing Agency Design Review Committee Tuesday morning to seek site plan approval.

If constructed, the building would sit on land with an address of 105 S. 11th St. William and Brenda Batey own the property and would have a land lease with the development team.

The property sits within MDHA's Five Points Redevelopment District and, as such, requires exterior design and site plan approval.

"We're in the planning process and are not sure of the exact specifics going forward," Foley said. "But we think it's a great location and are excited about East Nashville and want to build upon its established vibrancy."

"We're excited about the design," Foley added, noting the team currently is calling the proposed building East Sider.

Images submitted to MDHA show a project with two buildings: a three-story structure (with the third floor set back) fronting South 11th and a two-story building adjacent to the existing alley that separates buildings home to East Side Cycles and cafe Bongo East on the west and Art and Invention Gallery on the east. A courtyard would provide connectivity between the two East Sider buildings.

The three-story building fronting South 11th would offer retail space on the main floor. The team has not yet finalized the uses for floors two and three, Foley said.

The site (see here courtesy of Google Maps) was most recently home to a single-story brick commercial building, razed in April, accommodating Edgefield Restaurant.
