"...Well, We're Movin' on Up

to the East Side "

🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶

"What we're creating is a park.

It's a park first, that has buildings in it."

Larry Ellison, April 2024

BIG NEWS out of Music City this week! No, it's not that Dolly's health is okay or Taylor's new album dropped, although we're happy to hear both of these releases. Oracle dropped renderings for their much anticipated East Bank campus, reaffirming Nashville will be positioned as their global headquarters. It's been four years since the initial release so naturally negative speculation and doubt started to creep in as scuttlebutt - "idle minds are the devil's workshop".

Might this be the catalyst toward improved sentiment and activity in our residential markets? Could stock market profit taking be converted to real estate investments? Gold has sure had a run; property might be a viable alternative. Rates have come in. The 10-year dipped below 4.06 yesterday, well off it's YTD highs of 4.77% with a 30-year conforming rate just below 6.3% (remember these two tend to move in unison). Continuing our conversation from last month about the cyclical nature of markets and psychology, it sure feels like the ingredients are present for our next upswing.

Nobu thinks so, announcing plans for a hotel and restaurant released in coordination within Oracle's campus. Amazon Web Services Skills to Jobs program does too with the announcement of a collaboration with the Nashville Innovation Alliance, prompting general manager of global education at AWS Valerie Singer, to say, "...Nashville's dynamic technology community makes it an ideal location for expansion." Right now, there's an estimated 8,000 open technology positions across Middle Tennessee [NBJ].

"The new development will position Nashville as a hub of AI innovation, leveraging the city’s dynamic culture, urban setting, and talented workforce."

Don Watson, Oracle senior VP of global real estate & facilities in a statement to the NBJ

Waymo and Lyft plan to launch autonomous driving in town next year. Musk's Boring Company is working through their 19 mile "Music City Loop" from downtown to BNA Airport. Cue the Jetsons... it's starting to feel like we are the city of the future.

Branded hotel and residences want a piece of the action. The Edition, Ritz Carlton, St. Regis, the Pendry and potentially the Equinox and Intercontinental hotels are slated to start development - funding dependent for most, but a strong signal tourism will remain a top performing industry for the community. In fact, additional international flights to Europe, South America and Mexico are being teased as international passenger count jumped 32% in the airport authority's last fiscal year, ending June of this year.

Music Entertainment is being bolstered as well with the opening of Rock City - the 55 acre campus in White's Creek custom built as a place for struggling artists, major headliners and accomplished producers to rehearse and connect.

I think the message is clear - Buy, Buy, Buy! We are on the cusp of something great - a technologically driven entertainment hub with the safety and values of our small town roots.

Would love to hear from you.

Let's chat!

❤️

Cheers,

Shane

Development Spotlight

FOCUS DESIGN BUILD

The MONROE

Twenty-nine homes will sit on the centrally located, gently rolling topography formerly home to Monroe Harding, the 128+ year old orphanage turned Children’s House in Green Hills. I recently spent an afternoon with Lindsay Argo of Focus Builders – a custom and spec home developer in Nashville she and husband, Seth established 10+ years ago – who, along with Barlow Builders and Hidden Valley Homes have been tasked to masterfully repurpose twenty-two serene acres into a community worthy of its namesake. Sitting in a kitchen of distinction, with warm Southern hospitality, Argo is deliberate as she explains their process from ideation through execution. When creating an everlasting contribution to our burgeoning Nashville community she and Seth apply their cooperative experience, education, and personal life experiences toward each project.
