Albion Residential announced that its first of two planned towers at Albion Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee, has begun vertical construction. The first tower is 29 stories and 350 feet and will deliver 458 units. Construction on the tower, led by Clark Construction, is expected to top out in Q4 of next year.
As part of the milestone, Albion has launched an initial preview landing page for the project including a first look at interior renderings and amenities which include its spacious outdoor plaza with performance stage, a podcasting studio, a variety of social and coworking spaces, first in class indoor and outdoor fitness facility, as well as a resort-style rooftop pool with DJ booth.
Albion Music Row’s site is comprised of five lots located at the southwest corner of the intersection of McGavock Street and 14th Avenue, which in total is equal to approximately 2 acres. It will be activated with retail and restaurant spaces on the ground floor allowing for overflow into its centerpiece: a more than half acre public green space which will feature public art, and a performance stage and great lawn to encourage regular music uses.
Albion Music Row was designed by Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture of Chicago with Nashville-based companies Barge Cauthen & Associates as Civil Engineer, Hodgson Douglas as Landscape Architect, and SDL as structural engineer. Albion Music Row will pursue a LEED Silver designation.
Albion Music Row is the second largescale ground-up project in Nashville’s urban core, as Albion in the Gulch, a $140 million tower with 415 premium rentable units at 645 Division Street, opened in Spring of 2023.
The project was awarded the ULI Nashville Excellence in Development Award in 2024 as well as winning the 2023 LIVE Award from the Nashville Downtown Partnership and earned 1st place in GNAA’s Diamond Awards for its clubhouse.
Albion Residential has also branched out in surrounding markets like Murfreesboro, completing a total renovation of an existing student housing building into a revitalized apartment complex known as Albion Murfreesboro.
As a formerly a distressed rent by-the-bed student housing project, Albion Residential successfully renovated the property expanding it from 252 units to 360 and upgraded apartments with new cabinetry, countertops, cabinets, flooring and appliances along with updating its fitness center, club room, and leasing center. This converted the property into a market rate project with a diversified unit mix to suit the market.
