Leasing Information 
 

Rolling Mill Hill, the former home of Metro General Hospital and Metro's government vehicle fleet center (the "trolley barns"), is located on a bluff just south of Broadway and the Korean Veterans Boulevard.

Rolling Mill Hill is a locally designated landmark and at its heart are the hospital buildings and trolley barns, which the community insisted on preserving and adaptively reusing. The first hospital structure, a Victorian-style building dating to the 1890s, has been converted for residential use, along with a 1930s art-deco style building. The trolley barns, which recently have been entered on the National Register of Historic Places, are being converted to office and commercial space. The historic smokestack, which is visible from several points downtown and to the east, also has been preserved and will continue to serve as a landmark and icon for the area.

Growing a neighborhood
The two converted residential buildings (the preserved Victorian and Art Deco hospital structures) and a third newly constructed building contain 72 high-end condominium units with amenities including 9- and 10-foot ceilings, massive windows with spectacular views, granite surfaces, hardwoods and other similar features. (Prospective tenants can call the condominium leasing office at 615-401-6670.)


Consistent with the vision of Rolling Mill Hill as a mixed-use, mixed-income neighborhood, MDHA has constructed Nance Place (left), a workforce, loft-style property with 109 units. The one-, two- and three- bedroom apartments at Nance Place include amenities such as underground parking, an interior courtyard, and community rooms on every floor. The property was recognized by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency with a 2011 "Tennessee's Best" Award for Remarkable Achievement/Urban. In January 2012, the U.S. Green Building Council confirmed LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Homes certification for Nance Place, giving the project a "Platinum" rating -- the highest possible. Nance Place is the first multi-family project in Nashville to achieve a Platinum rating. (Prospective tenants can get information on Nance Place by calling Freeman Webb, the property manager, at 615-780-0033, or by visiting www.nanceplace.com.)


In October 2011, ground was broken for Ryman Lofts (right). The project, set for occupancy in first quarter of 2013, will provide affordable housing for artists and include unconventional floorplans, large windows, hard surfaces and significant meeting spaces that are conducive to artistic endeavors.

Beyond Rolling Mill Hill's residential development, several businesses have plans to relocate to the trolley barns (left). The Center for Nonprofit Management, Emma, Hands On Nashville, Centric Architecture, MDHA and the Nashville Entrepreneur Center will be among the first companies to operate from Rolling Mill Hill and the trolley barns.

Revitalizing Rutledge Hill

Rolling Mill Hill, a historic, in-town neighborhood, has been transformed from brown to green. Buildings have been recycled and prepared for new businesses and homes in our downtown, and all work has been done with an eye toward sustainability. While Nance Place is the first Platinum LEED multi-family project registered in Tennessee, the entire site is being designed as a LEED neighborhood development.
