The warehouse on the site is slated for demolition, with Tiny's Construction filing a $354,899 application on September 1 to take the 1952 building down to its slab. The building is a 117,529-square-foot distribution warehouse with 16 dock doors, last marketed in 2020.
A shell permit filed January 7, which the Nashville Post picked up in March, and seven finish-out permits filed February 19 describe a four-story, 435,293-square-foot building: 262 apartments and ground-floor commercial space wrapped around a garage on 5.8 acres between the rail line and Craighead, east of I-65 near the Fairgrounds. A master permit filed in December had called for 228 units and was cancelled January 7, and the nine permits now add up to $66.75 million in declared value, about $255,000 an apartment before land and soft costs.
The Vintage brand name comes from TDK, a Murfreesboro firm, founded in 1959 as Keach Construction, that builds and keeps its own properties and lists more than 20 Vintage-branded apartments across the Southeast, with Imagine1 as its partner on Vintage Station North at the Mt. Juliet rail station, Vintage Edge on Nolensville Pike, and the $82 million Vintage Pleasant Grove going up now. CityScout's records have TDK as the contractor on Vintage Edge and Vintage Century Farms in Antioch and as developer of The Vintage in Smyrna, with Centric Architecture on five of its filings.
