Shelby House brings 200 affordable apartments to East Nashville

When Holladay Ventures and Evergreen Real Estate unveiled the affordable housing community at 405 S. 4th St., the developers also signaled the start of the project’s second phase, 4th & Shelby.

East Nashville is home to 195 new affordable housing units after Shelby House’s opening this week.

The apartment complex by Holladay Ventures and Evergreen Real Estate rents to individuals making 30%-80% of Nashville’s Area Median Income ($21,000-$55,900 single person).

This marked the initial stage of a multi-phase project, which includes another mixed-use development adjacent to the apartment called 4th & Shelby. Upon its completion in 2026, the two communities will total just under 500 affordable units.

Of note, Shelby House offers studio, one, and two-bedroom floor plans with granite countertops and in-unit laundry + access to a fitness center, resident lounge, and covered parking.
