Park24 Opens at 660 Joseph Ave in East Nashville

Park24, a 140-unit affordable housing community, has opened at 660 Joseph Ave along East Nashville's Dickerson Pike corridor. Holladay Ventures and the Urban League of Middle Tennessee developed the four-story, 158,993-square-foot mixed-use building, designed by David Baker Architects. Construction started in April 2024; the project opened August 26 and was 81% leased as of September 1.

All 140 units are income-restricted, with rents from roughly $653 to $2,415 per month for households earning 30 to 80 percent of AMI. The mix includes 80 one-bedroom, 46 two-bedroom, and 14 three-bedroom units. The building sits on 2.96 acres of the former RiverChase Apartments site, part of a larger redevelopment planned for about 1,150 residences.

Financing included a $2 million Barnes Fund grant plus support from the Amazon Housing Fund, U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance, and Cedar Rapids Bank and Trust. The project has 103 parking spaces and 37 bicycle spots.

Amenities include a 2,200-square-foot Empowerment Center operated by the Urban League of Middle Tennessee, a community room, front porches, landscaped outdoor space, and pet-friendly policies. A 174 kW solar array generates roughly $20,000 in electricity annually. The project earned Enterprise Green Communities and EnergyStar certification.

Correction, Oct. 21, 2026: An earlier version of this story named Shelton McNally Real Estate Partners as the developer and Centric Architecture as the architect. Holladay Ventures developed Park24 with the Urban League of Middle Tennessee, and David Baker Architects designed it.
