The corner of North Nashville’s Rosa L. Parks Boulevard and Garfield Street will get an upgrade to the tune of $27 million when Nashville nonprofit Inspiritus unveils its Live-Thrive-Give affordable housing campus.
What to expect
The five-story community, which also houses Inspiritus’ offices, will include 80 studio and one-bedroom apartments for seniors and individuals with disabilities earning less than 60% of the city’s median income — $41,940 for a single person.
The 9,500-sqft ground floor will be used to expand the nonprofit’s social services by way of a client-choice free grocery store, community kitchen, community meeting and educational spaces, a therapeutic art studio, and collaborative spaces for local non-profit partnerships.
Timeline + get involved
Inspiritus bought the property, formerly St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, for $500,000 in 2022 — $3 million below market value. The project is in its final phase of the design stage, with construction expected to begin in spring 2024 and last 18 months.
