Albion Residential to Build Two

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Albion Residential has purchased land in Nashville with plans to build Albion Music Row, a two-tower luxury apartment project totaling 850 units.

The first tower will rise 29 stories and 350 feet. Albion plans to begin construction prior to the end of the year on the 458-unit building, followed by the second tower, which will feature 392 units and rise 20 stories.

Both buildings will offer retail and restaurant spaces on the ground floors. The centerpiece of the development will be a public green space that will feature art, a performance stage and a lawn designed for music uses. Albion Music Row will also feature an active recording studio.

Albion Music Row will offer micro units at a lower price point in addition to studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. There will also be duplex units.

The site comprises five lots located at the southwest corner of the intersection of McGavock Street and 14th Avenue. Albion paid $31 million for the property.

The project team includes Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, civil engineer Barge Cauthen & Associates, landscape architect Hodgson Douglas, structural engineer SDL and MEP engineer I.C. Thomasson.

Albion Residential is pursuing a LEED Silver designation for the property, which marks the developer's second large-scale project in Nashville's urban core. The company recently opened Albion in the Gulch, a $140 million project with 415 units.

Based in Oak Brook, Illinois, Albion Residential is focused on the acquisition, development and operation of urban, luxury apartments.
