NASHVILLE, TENN. — Global real estate investment firm Northwood Investors LLC has acquired Fifth + Broadway, a newly developed mixed-use project in Nashville. The purchase price was $715 million, according to the Nashville Post. Brookfield Properties, which developed and operated the asset, completed construction in 2021. Northwood purchased the property in its entirety, including the retail portion, 501 Commerce office tower and The Place residences, from a subsidiary of Brookfield. Fifth + Broadway is one of the largest single-phase mixed-use developments in the history of the city and the state of Tennessee, according to Northwood. The project, which is located on the six-acre site that formerly housed the Nashville Convention Center, features 250,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space; the 56,000-square-foot National Museum for African American Music; 367,000 square feet of Class A office space; 381 apartment units; and more than 2,000 parking spaces.

Like many communities across the West, affordable housing is a top issue in Denver. Monthly rent in Denver is now around $2,005, according to Zillow’s June 2022 data. This is up 20.4 percent since June 2019. The city is trying to do something about the lack of affordability. It approved the Expanding Housing Affordability Policy (EHA) this June, which overhauled Denver’s affordable housing requirements for new development. EHA was allowed after the 2021 passage of a Colorado statute, HB21-1117, which overturned a Colorado Supreme Court case commonly known as the Telluride decision. HB21-1117 expanded the ability of local Colorado governments to require inclusion of income-restricted units within new rental housing — something that had previously been prohibited in Colorado. While Denver has led within the state with EHA, other municipalities in Colorado, such as Littleton and Aspen, are beginning to consider new affordable housing policies in response to HB21-1117. In Denver, EHA primarily affects multifamily projects of 10 or more units. Those projects must proceed under EHA unless they submitted a concept site plan by June 30, 2022, and achieve final site development plan approval by Aug. 30, 2023. Non-residential projects and residential projects of nine or fewer units may …
