Eden House residential development will rise 16 stories in Nashville

Eden House, a 16-story, 111-unit residential tower, is set to rise in the affluent Green Hills community south of Nashville.

In addition to the 111 condo units, Eden House will also feature 8,800 sf of restaurant and retail space that will bring additional shopping and dining amenities to the community as well as its future owners. The project’s location in Nashville’s Green Hills provides residents with a fully sustainable lifestyle. Residents will be able to walk to numerous popular restaurant destinations, Green Hills Mall, grocery stores, and stand-alone retail and services.

“This project will be known to neighbors for exceptional design and adding tremendous restaurant and retail space. For residents, Eden House will provide a fulfilling lifestyle within a luxury community with world-class amenities at a location that is walkable to everything you could ever need,” said George Tomlin, President and CEO of GBT Realty, in a release.

In addition to Gresham Smith as the architect, GBT Realty Corporation is the project developer. Eden House is slated to break ground in early 2022 and complete in 2023.
