A new white paper published by the American Institute of Architects includes a case study of Nashville’s efforts to infuse its growth plans with green building and development thinking.

Crosland takes a drastic step in an attempt to start shipping condos at its Terrazzo tower. It will hold an auction the weekend before Thanksgiving with minimum bids starting below $200 per square foot.

The condominium homes offered in the sales event include a broad array of floorplans, and minimum offering bids are approximately 40-50% of the list price. One-bedroom and one-bedroom den residences available at the sales event range from 891 to 1,150 square feet with minimum offering bids of $159,000 - $225,000. Two-bedroom, two-bath and two-bedroom plus den residences available at the sales event range from 1,320 to 1,617 square feet with minimum offering bids of $250,000 - $310,000. Three-bedroom, three-bath residences available at the sales event have 2,090 square feet with minimum offering bids of $399,000. The minimum bid prices include one parking space in the access-controlled, underground garage.

Nine days till Urban Outfitters

Bring a canned good when you go to the retailer’s grand opening weekend in The Gulch. Philly-based Urban Outfitters announced last summer it would take over the space formerly home to City Hall.
