Wedgewood-Houston has been one of Nashville's most talked-about neighborhoods for a few years now. What was once a quiet industrial pocket just south of downtown has turned into one of the city's most creative districts, filled with art spaces, breweries, restaurants, and a steady stream of new development.
The latest project joining the area is The Modernest WeHo, a new residential development currently under construction just minutes from GEODIS Park.
And this one brings something a little different to the neighborhood.
A Development Built Around Flexibility
The Modernest isn't being built as a traditional condo building. Instead, the project is designed around flexible ownership, giving buyers the ability to use their unit in a few different ways.
Owners will be able to live in their residence full time, use it as a second home in Nashville, or operate it as a short-term rental.
As Nashville continues to attract both new residents and year-round visitors, developments built around this kind of flexibility have become increasingly popular with buyers and investors alike.
What the Residences Will Include
The building will feature 131 residences, ranging from studio units up to three-bedroom layouts.
The design leans modern and clean, and the amenity package reflects the kind of lifestyle-focused living many newer developments are prioritizing.
Residents and guests will have access to amenities including:
- A resort-style pool
- Fitness center
- Sauna and cold plunge
- A co-working lounge for remote work
- Shared gathering and social spaces throughout the building
The goal is to create a building that works equally well for people living there full time and those visiting Nashville for shorter stays.
Why Wedgewood-Houston?
WeHo has developed a reputation as one of Nashville's most creative and energetic neighborhoods.
Its location just south of downtown keeps it close to the city's core while still maintaining its own identity. Art galleries, local restaurants, breweries, and design studios have helped shape the neighborhood's character, while the arrival of GEODIS Park, home of Nashville SC, has added another major draw to the area.
Because of that momentum, developers have increasingly focused their attention here, bringing new residential projects, restaurants, and retail to the neighborhood.
The Modernest is simply the latest addition to that larger transformation.
Timeline and Pricing
The Modernest WeHo is currently under construction, with completion expected in early 2027.
The development will include 131 residences, with pricing expected to start in the mid-$400,000s, depending on the size and layout of the unit.
More details around floor plans, finishes, and purchasing opportunities will likely become available as construction progresses.
A Neighborhood Still in Its Growth Phase
One of the reasons Wedgewood-Houston continues to draw attention is that it still feels like it's in the middle of its growth story.
New restaurants, creative spaces, and residential projects continue to appear across the neighborhood, and the area surrounding GEODIS Park is still evolving as more people move closer to the action.
Developments like The Modernest reflect how Nashville real estate is changing, with buyers looking for homes that can function not just as a place to live, but also as an investment and a lifestyle property.
And in a neighborhood like WeHo, that kind of flexibility fits right into the direction the area is heading.
