There aren’t a lot of places left in the Downtown area of Nashville where a new development is so vast and diverse in its land uses that it can help define an entirely new neighborhood. Once it is complete, Peabody Union, a mixed-use development at the very edge of Rolling Mill Hill, is going to be a central community hub for the South Bank neighborhood.

In our 20th Anniversary year of The Plan of Nashville, of which one of the 10 Principles was, “Treat the Cumberland River as central to Nashville’s identity—an asset to be treasured and enjoyed,” we are thrilled to get a first look at a development that embraces that design principle. Not only does the residential tower have uninterrupted views of the river, but the project also includes a significant investment around the riverside greenway including an observation deck to spark a more complete greenway connection across Korean Veterans Blvd that is sorely needed.   

During this Civic Tour, attendees will discover the South Bank, exploring Peabody Union’s ground floor retail and office spaces, then working their way up the Olive residential tower. The event will close with drinks and snacks with a view!  

Ray Hensler of the Hensler Development Group will lead the tour with David Powell of HASTINGS Architecture.
