Plunk in the middle of Nashville, Tennessee’s most beloved sections of city life, the new Griffin Plaza at 300 12th Avenue South is a masterpiece of mixed-use retail and residential space.  The designers at Crosland blend characteristics of old and new Nashville real estate and also incorporate state-of-the-art “green” materials, technological amenities, and welcoming green space.

Now under construction in The Gulch, the development in Middle Tennessee real estate’s Griffin Plaza combines the preservation and restoration of the remaining two late-19th century houses from this once-thriving residential district with a sleek, modern design.  The 10-story structure includes upscale retail on the ground floor plaza level and 150 Nashville homes for sale in other levels.  In addition, a five-level, sub-surface parking structure provides protected parking for residents and retail customers.

The green space, a plaza designed as an urban "pocket park," it a first in The Gulch neighborhood of Nashville TN real estate.  The park's multiple landscaped terraces form a gathering place that adds a sense of community for the residents, the retail customers, and friendly neighbors.  In an ongoing commitment to sustainable development, residents of Griffin Plaza will enjoy green vegetated roofs, abundant glass, and a number of energy-saving features that will reduce negative impact on the environment.  Indeed, Griffin Plaza is certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™.

Sleek residences tower above the retail space, offering sweeping views of Downtown, Music Row, and the pocket park below.  Featuring 10-foot ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling operable awning windows, the loft-like design of the apartments indeed sports a contemporary flare.  Floor plans are available in studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, ranging in size from 550 to 1,400 square feet.  Most of the 150 apartments have balconies also.

The plaza’s 32,000 square feet of upscale shops and restaurants provides a wonderful area of the development for neighbors to greet each other.  Featuring 22-foot ceilings and mezzanines, abundant floor-to-ceiling glass provides abundant light and high visibility to pedestrian and street traffic.  More retail space is available in the adjacent historic houses, which are better suited for small boutiques and cafes.  All of the retail space opens onto the pocket park.  Its terraced outdoor seating areas and space are perfect for special events.

With easy access to I-40 and I-65 and only blocks from major spots such as Vanderbilt University, Trevecca Nazarene University, Fisk University, River Front Park, the Cumberland River, LP Stadium, and the Gaylord Entertainment Center as well as downtown, residents may simply park their cars and walk or bike to most destinations.
