The East Bank Development was born out of a two-year community visioning process led by the Nashville Planning Department called Imagine East Bank. The process included some of Metro's most robust community engagement efforts since NashvilleNext and resulted in a vision plan built off the ideas of Nashville's residents.
That vision plan was unanimously approved by the Metro Planning Commission in October 2022. Learn more about the Imagine East Bank Vision Plan and study process.
Today, the East Bank is comprised of mostly asphalt parking lots, industrial and commercial uses, and Nissan Stadium. The area, at 550 acres, spans from the scrap yard to the south at Interstate 24 up to RiverNorth and the planned Oracle Campus at Interstate 65. Metro owns approximately 130 acres of the 550-acre site.
Pictured here is an illustrative map showcasing the entire East Bank.
- Beginning at the Interstate 65 crossing over the Cumberland River as the Northern boundary, moving South through the proposed Oracle Campus, River North Development
- Continuing South over the Jefferson Street Bridge into the "Jefferson-Spring" and "Capitol Crossings" neighborhoods bounded by James Robertson Parkway to the South
- Next is the Central Waterfront district that makes up the Metro-owned land where the new, proposed Nissan Stadium will be located, which is bounded by the Korean Veterans Boulevard to the South
- The final section of the map is Shelby's Bend which is situated between Korean Veterans Boulevard and Interstate 24
In September 2023, after a lengthy Request for Proposal (RFP) process, Metro selected The Fallon Company to serve as the Master Developer for an Initial Development Area (IDA) of 30 acres of Metro land. Negotiations between Metro, led by Chief Development Officer Bob Mendes, and The Fallon Company began in October 2023, shortly after Mayor Freddie O'Connell and his administration took office.
In April 2024, the Metro Council unanimously approved a Master Developer agreement with The Fallon Company.
The Metro Nashville Planning Department expanded the Downtown Code (DTC) to include a new, 30-acre subdistrict for the East Bank. Creating a design-based zoning tool is a key component of implementing Imagine East Bank. Details about the East Bank DTC Subdistrict
