But as he looks across the street from his sales office at the 18-acre Nashville Yards development, even Giarratana is a little surprised at how quickly and how much development has come to or is planned for The Gulch neighborhood. “When we started investing in developing in downtown Nashville in the 80s, we envisioned something great,” Giarratana says. “I can tell you, it’s exceeded my wildest expectations.” And even though he couldn’t see it then, he couldn’t be happier now. “All we need now is a Trader Joe’s,” Giarratana jokes. The developer’s sales office across from the Nashville Yards development is for his two new high-rise apartment buildings at 801 and 900 Church Street. He expects Gulch workers to find homes on Church Street. GULCH >> PAGE 17 Rendersprovided TOP: A rendering of 1222 Demonbreun at Gulch Union, a mixed-use project.
