Nashville has reached a significant milestone in urban development with the topping out of the Albion Music Row, a 29-story apartment tower developed by Albion Residential. This project marks the beginning of the transformation of the Midtown Gateway area, previously dominated by car dealerships, into a vibrant urban environment. The tower is located at 1501 McGavock Street, situated at the southwest corner of the intersection with 14th Avenue.
The construction of Albion Music Row is currently overseen by Clark Construction, which is focusing on the building facade and interior fit-out. Once completed, the first phase of this development will deliver 458 luxury apartments, while the overall plan, which encompasses two phases, will total nearly 800 units.
The project is designed with a range of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a resident lounge, co-working spaces, and a dedicated music room. In addition to resident facilities, the development will also provide public amenities, featuring an urban park for performances and a recording studio, along with 4,430 square feet of ground-floor retail space.
Albion Music Row will also include an attractive landscaping design featuring public green spaces with a performance stage and public art installations. The developers have set a goal for the project to achieve a LEED Silver designation, underscoring a commitment to sustainability. The site itself spans approximately 2 acres, encompassing five lots previously occupied by the Beaman car dealership.
In June 2023, Albion Residential purchased the land for $31 million and subsequently secured a $102 million construction loan from Pacific Life Insurance. This development marks Albion Residential’s second ground-up project in Nashville, following the successful completion of Albion in the Gulch in Spring 2023, which featured 415 premium units and garnered multiple awards, such as the ULI Nashville Excellence in Development Award and the 2023 LIVE Award from the Nashville Downtown Partnership.
The overall timeline for the completion of Albion Music Row is set for late 2026. As Nashville continues to grow and evolve, projects like these contribute significantly to reshaping the landscape of one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country.
