Images released for planned Green Hills project

Images have been created and a groundbreaking is tentatively being considered for late this year related to a mixed-use building planned for a Green Hills site located near Hillsboro Pike and Calvary United Methodist Church.

As the Post reported in September 2023, a partnership involving Nashville development company Material Ventures and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Stiles Corp. paid $7.25 million for the property, with an address of 2121 Crestmoor Road.

The partnership is planning a structure to stand six floors at its tallest point. The future building will offer a collective 98 residential units on floors two through five and 9,500 square feet of ground-floor retail and residential space.

Smith Gee Studio is handling design work, with Barge Civil Associates undertaking land-planning and civil engineering duties. Both are locally based.

“We’ve taken a simple approach with a very concerted effort to get the fundamentals just right — an elevated streetscape that encourages sidewalk activation and attracts great retail tenants, a building orientation and scale that resonates as distinctly boutique, and high-quality architecture that will stand the test of time,” Tim Johnson, Material Ventures founder and owner, told the Post Monday, adding the team is “contemplating a construction start by end of the year.”

Johnson and Stiles landed a preliminary specific plan rezoning in August 2023 and will need final SP approval.

Unrelatedly, Stiles is partnering with Nashville developer Ray Hensler to develop a Rolling Mill Hill site downtown with mixed-use Peabody Union (read here).

A two-story modernist office building sits on the property. Longtime Nashvillians might recognize the structure as having accommodated a Comdata office in the 1980s. The building offers an office for Weichert Realtors – The Andrews Group.

The property sits within Metro Councilmember Jeff Prepit’s District 25.
