East Nashville’s boom shows few signs of slowing. The revitalization that has been most visible in the area around Five Points and Eastland Avenue is steadily working its way up Gallatin Pike as eager residents looking for housing options they can afford also migrate further north.

Mayor Megan Barry’s proposal to install Nashville’s first light rail service along this corridor is likely to prove another development catalyst. To help us envision how some prominent sections of Gallatin could be reinvigorated with the help of that high-profile transit option, we turned to Ken Henley, visualization manager at Earl Swensson Associates, and his team. We identified three corner lots that are either undeveloped or home to unused buildings and thought about how they could be overhauled. Here’s what we came up with; renderings of all three ideas are in the gallery above.
