Plans prepped for west side mixed-use building

Nashville-based developer MiKeN Development is targeting a September groundbreaking for the next building at The Annex project long underway in West Nashville's Charlotte Park.

To be called The Arcade at The Annex — the third element of the four-phase development — the roughly $12 million mixed-use building will feature 60 for-rent units and some commercial space. Michael Kenner, MiKeN's founder, said the company is working with Mayor John Cooper’s office and Metro Councilmember-at-large Burkley Allen to secure a payment in lieu of taxes via Metro’s Industrial Development Board.
