President and CEO Nashville Downtown Partnership 2013 Annual Report RECORD SALES PRICES, ESCALATING RENTS, AND LOW VACANCY: NEW RENTAL INVENTORY COMING SOON BILL BARKLEY, CHAIR, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT • The downtown residential picture includes a strong sellers’ market with increasing prices per square foot, and a continuing 98% record rental occupancy. _______________________________________________________ • Downtown is a sellers’ market with 130 downtown closings during the first two quarters of 2013, 228 closings in 2012 and an average of 190 per year 2009 through 2011. No developer-owned condos remain on the market, and only 65 re-sale units (a 3-month supply). With a 36-month minimum required to plan and complete a project, the downtown for-sale inventory will not expand any sooner than late 2016. _______________________________________________________ • A recent market analysis indicates that downtown can absorb an additional 700 residential units per year for the next 5 years. To meet Urban Land Institute’s recommendation for 2% of a city’s population living within its urban core, Nashville would need an additional 18,000 units.. _______________________________________________________ • The current downtown housing mix is 51% purchase (2,095 condos and 209 single family homes) and 49% rental (2,250 apartment units). Three developments now under construction will add 475 rental units in 2014, and another five planned projects would add 1,124 more apartments. If all are built, the new downtown housing mix would shift to 63% rental, 37% purchase units. _______________________________________________________ • Research shows that 75% of Generation Y (age 32 and under) prefer an active urban lifestyle, with its walkability and convenience, and the majority of them are single and renters. Demand is also increasing for high-end renter households for Baby Boomers as they become empty nesters and/or retire. Trends show that 82% of household growth will be singles and couples without children at home. By 2030, it is projected that the predominant household size will be one person. Nashville Downtown Partnership 2013 Annual Report NEW DOWNTOWN RETAIL WITH URBAN APPEAL JENNIFER COLE, CHAIR, RETAIL DEVELOPMENT • A total of 49 new retail businesses opened or announced between January 1 and August 31, 2013, which is 16 more than during the same period last year. Of these, 32 are food establishments, 16 shopping options and 1 is a nightlife venue. The total number of downtown retail openings in 2012 was 52 (44% more than in 2011). ______________________________________________________ • Fashion designer Manuel has a new retail space at 800 Broadway, as well as a design and manufacturing studio for his New Vision collection of apparel and accessories. Bettie Page Clothing at 400 Broadway adds vintage fashion designs for women to the current mix of downtown shopping options. ______________________________________________________ • After an extensive renovation including new sidewalks and street- lights from Church to Union, the major arts corridor along 5th Avenue offers popular sidewalk dining at Puckett’s Gro. & Restaurant. A new coffee and dining option on the busy block this fall is local favorite Frothy Monkey. ______________________________________________________ • New retail opening onto 5th Avenue South include Bob’s Steak and Chop House, Bongo Java Coffee and Barlines (all with Omni Nashville Hotel) and the relocated Hatch Show Print (with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum). ______________________________________________________ • The Nashville food scene is getting favorable press regionally and nationally. The Partnership’s retail strategy recommends unique, eclectic restaurants with appeal to an urban population. In SoBro, The Southern Steak & Oyster and Etch are thriving new dining options

Vanderbilt University, Middle Tennessee State University, Fisk University, Tennessee State University, Belmont University, Lipscomb University and a host of two-year institutions are just a few of the talent suppliers for the area’s corporate offices. Corporate headquarters in the region range from sectors including retail (Dollar General, Tractor Supply Company, Kirkland’s) to health care (HCA, CHS, Healthways, Healthtrust) to manufacturing (Nissan, Bridgestone). All of these corporations are driven by the regional talent pool, affordable operating costs, and the ability to recruit key talent to the region. The Nashville region has also earned a reputation as a hotbed for technology development. Lately this evolution has become even more evident through the region’s creative talent and a wealth of entrepreneurial success.
