Sandwiched between the railroad tracks and Ellington Parkway, the newly renovated Laurel & Pine seeks to provide a new community amenity to the ever-changing East Nashville
landscape. What was once a conglomerate of old warehouse space, that most recently served as a mattress recycling facility, now becomes a 23,000 SF hub of retail, restaurant
and office space.
Strategic demolition of the existing buildings creates a new gateway between the neighborhood and new adjacent multifamily development, while drawing people into the site. The
preservation of the existing barrel vaults and trusses within the space along with the colorful re-imagination of the CMU facade gives new life to this mixed-use development, all
without neglecting the buildings industrial heritage. New landscaping and outdoor patios help to frame vistas, activate the exterior and bring a more pedestrian scale to the
transforming industrial area.
