Wedgewood Village Takes Shape
The Merritt Mansion
NASHVILLE, TN - March 9, 2025 - AJ Capital Partners has now broken ground on each component of the approved Wedgewood Village project, an expansive 18-acre mixed-use development that promises to redefine Nashville's rapidly evolving Wedgewood-Houston (WeHo) neighborhood. The transformative project will deliver more than 1.6 million square feet of premium residential, retail, restaurant, and office space across multiple phases.
Wedgewood Village represents a bold reimagining of urban living in Nashville, combining thoughtfully designed new construction with the adaptive reuse of historic properties. The development will extend across various non-contiguous parcels throughout the neighborhood, creating a cohesive district while preserving WeHo's distinctive character.
"We envision Wedgewood Village as a dynamic ecosystem where residents, workers, and visitors can experience the best of Nashville's creative energy," said Chad DiDonato, WEHO Social spokesperson. "This project builds upon the authentic industrial heritage of Wedgewood-Houston while introducing new spaces for living, working, dining, and entertainment."
The development has already attracted an impressive roster of anchor tenants, including international members club Soho House, the Academy of Country Music, and acclaimed Japanese restaurant Momotaro. Future phases will welcome Pastis, the iconic New York City brasserie making its Nashville debut, along with an unnamed Italian restaurant concept.
Wedgewood Village builds upon AJ Capital's existing WeHo properties, including the historic May Hosiery Mills complex and Nashville Warehouse Company, which houses the Memoir Wedgewood Houston apartment tower. These established locations have already demonstrated the neighborhood's appeal and potential.
WEHO Social is excited to offer residents an exclusive update.
The future built environment of Wedgewood Village, a vision of AJ Capital Partners.
The initial phases of Wedgewood Village will introduce seven distinct buildings with neo-traditional brick exteriors that complement the neighborhood's industrial aesthetic:
515 Houston Street: A 170,000-square-foot, four-story mixed-use building anchored by Momotaro and a forthcoming Italian restaurant
507 Houston Street: A development offering 51,000 square feet of Class A office space and 10,500 square feet of ground-floor retail
448 Humphreys Street: A four-story, 53,300-square-foot building with ground-floor retail and restaurant space beneath 48,000 square feet of Class A offices
445 Humphreys Street: A residential building featuring 240 units above street-level retail and dining spaces
430 Chestnut Street: A 156,500-square-foot building with 140,000 square feet of Class A office space above 16,500 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space, plus The Chestnut, an adjacent venue dedicated to live music performances
A distinctive feature of Wedgewood Village will be the "Leon Loop," named in homage to the property's former owners, Nashville-based rock band Kings of Leon. This area will be anchored by the historic Merritt Mansion and include multiple Memoir residential buildings surrounding a spacious central lawn, creating a community gathering space at the heart of the development.
