Vanderbilt University Medical Center is set to move its Belle Meade walk-in clinic to the former Sport Seasons space nearby. 

According to Metro records, VUMC has obtained a permit to rehabilitate the former retail space at 56 White Bridge Pike.

The clinic is making way for the redevelopment of Belle Meade Plaza at 4544 Harding Pike, which is also home to Agave's Mexican Restaurant, Ninki Japanese Bistro and a Kroger, among other businesses. 

VUMC declined to comment further on the change. 

Nashville-based Adventurous Journeys (AJ) Capital Partners bought Belle Meade Plaza shopping center in July 2023 for $87 million after Metro Council approved rezoning. The mixed-use plan includes four buildings with retail space, 78 hotel rooms and 388 residential units. Images for the planned development were released earlier this year. 

Sport Seasons announced in April 2023 that it would close at the end of its lease in August, citing high rent costs. The company briefly reopened at Rivergate Mall in December, but closed again in January. Its Murfreesboro location was also shuttered in December 2023. Sport Seasons has been operating in Nashville since 1988.
