Join us for a guided look at how East Nashville’s most creative small-scale projects are shaping the city’s future. This tour highlights quirky, small-scale adaptive reuses and micro-developments that make a big cultural and economic impact, from The Wash—a former car wash transformed into six micro-restaurants—to Fatherland District and Five Points Alley—where small parcels and flexible leases help launch local entrepreneurs. We’ll also visit The Wilder and other projects that showcase design-driven approaches to residential and alternative hospitality. Micro- and small-scale developments create opportunities for developers with financially feasible projects, often adaptive reuses or small-lot infill, and for business owners with affordable storefronts, shorter leases, and flexible spaces that support entrepreneurship. Together, these “small but mighty” projects reveal how developers and business owners alike can find accessible entry points into Nashville’s growing market and punch above their weight in terms of community, placemaking, and economic impact.
