Minnesota developer no longer pursuing Midtown site

A Minnesota-based development company that had eyed a Midtown site home to DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana for a 29-story tower is no longer pursuing the project — with its interest in undertaking work in Nashville now a question mark.

As the Post reported in December 2022 (read here), Roers Companies was proposing a 29-story tower (pictured) for the four-parcel 1.17-acre site, which includes addresses of 115 16th Ave. S. (the DeSano building), 1609 McGavock St., 114 17th Ave. S. and 116 17th Ave. S.
