NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Mill Creek Residential, a prominent developer and operator of premier rental housing across the United States, has recently announced the commencement of preleasing at Modera Nations, a vibrant mixed-use community located alongside the Cumberland River on Nashville's rapidly evolving westside.
The community will include 396 homes complemented by 5,000 square feet of retail space, all nestled within The Nations neighborhood, roughly three miles west of Downtown Nashville. This prime location, elevated on a scenic bluff, provides breathtaking views of the riverfront and skyline. The project is strategically surrounded by several significant redevelopment projects, enabling residents to benefit from both beauty and urban convenience. Initial occupancy is anticipated to begin soon.
According to Luca Barber, senior managing director of development in Nashville for Mill Creek Residential, "The transformation of Nashville's westside over the past decade has been remarkable, turning a previously vacant industrial area into one of the city's most sought-after districts. We are thrilled to join this lively community, complete with boutique shops, cafes, breweries, and creative office spaces. The closeness to the Cumberland River and Nashville Greenway offers residents a picturesque setting, ensuring all their needs are met easily within the city. We eagerly await the arrival of our first residents, as we aim to provide them with an exceptional living experience."
Located at 1701 54th Avenue N, Modera Nations boasts excellent access to Stocking 51, Stateline, and Silo Studios, which contribute to over 320,000 square feet of versatile mixed-use space dedicated to creative office, retail, and entertainment. Additionally, the Nashville Greenway is set to expand significantly, with plans for a new access point benefiting the community while enhancing its connectivity to the city. The community's residents will also enjoy close proximity to Interstates 40 and 65, making it a mere five-minute drive to Downtown Nashville.
Modera Nations offers a variety of residences, including studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, some featuring dedicated den layouts. The community highlights sophisticated design throughout, complete with private balconies and patios. Exceptional amenities will include a game room equipped with a golf simulator, a resort-style swimming pool alongside a sun deck, and a fitness center featuring Peloton bikes and yoga/Pilates studios. Residents will also find a rooftop putting green, a community garden, and a dog park with a convenient pet wash for furry friends.
