@wkrntv: The demolition of RiverGate Mall is nearly finished. The process started at the Goodlettsville landmark back in March. Originally, the project’s developer, Merus, told News 2 they hoped to start vertical construction by the end of 2026. In an update on Tuesday, Oct. 20, the company said the first building construction on-site, which will be multi-family apartments, is now expected in February or March of 2027. According to Merus, 2027 will also see construction begin on commercial and restaurant buildings, with pre-leasing applications for possible tenants having already opened.

nashvillains would still pass opry to go to rivergate if they could. opry was always for tourists but rivergate was for the villains. another prime example of tn not caring about the people

and? the story should be about how the area is 10 yrs behind on infrastructure to be ready for the change. the bottleneck of north nashville and now Rivergate added to the hendersonville and Gallatin issues. no thanks.

Our property tax is what's paying for this.
They had mentioned that at one time.
So why do we have to pay for this.
As everyone is struggling anyway.
People born and raised here are being forced out of their homes because of high property tax.
Mainly seniors. Is it so they can build these rentals in place of our homes.
Remember it's been said well own nothing and be happy. I guess it's where we're heading. 😡

Residential and a lifestyle center. Smart of @Dillard’s to stay, but their sales associates can’t be making much unless they’re being given a guaranteed hourly.

I hate that nashville mayor. He’s not even a family man. He has 2 children with a Chinese baby momma. No family value at all. He’s a dump truck for the city of nashville.
