Living in East Nashville

The East Bank is a roughly 550-acre district along the Cumberland River, directly opposite downtown Nashville, that Metro government is redeveloping over the coming decades. After the Metro Planning Commission adopted the "Imagine East Bank" vision plan in October 2022, the Metro Council unanimously approved a Master Developer Agreement with Boston-based The Fallon Company in April 2024 to develop 30 acres of Metro-owned land. In June 2024 the Council established the East Bank Development Authority to oversee the public land and infrastructure. That initial 30-acre Metro-owned area is branded "Eastpoint."

The Fallon Company and Nashville-based Elmington Capital broke ground on the first Eastpoint building, Eastpoint Flats, in late May 2026. It is a 100% affordable residential building with 323 units on a 99-year ground lease with Metro, plus an 8,420-square-foot childcare facility and 12,600 square feet of retail; completion is targeted for 2029. The broader Eastpoint plan is described by Fallon as a multi-phase, multi-billion-dollar mixed-use neighborhood. A second Eastpoint site, Parcel C, sits closest to the new stadium and is planned to include an approximately 600-key full-service hotel, about 50,000 square feet of multi-level retail, and a 1.5-acre central plaza; the developer projects groundbreaking there in 2027.

The district's two largest anchors are the new Nissan Stadium and Oracle's corporate campus. The new enclosed Titans stadium, a roughly $2.1 billion project funded by Metro, the State of Tennessee and the Titans, is under construction on Metro-owned waterfront land with completion reported for February 2027. To the north, in the River North area, Oracle controls roughly 70 to 80 acres for a campus that has grown into a projected investment of about $4.5 billion — among the largest economic-development commitments in Tennessee history. The master plan calls for roughly 2.7 million square feet of office, retail and hospitality space, including a Nobu hotel, with capacity reported for about 8,500 employees by 2031. Demolition and site-clearing permits were issued in early 2026, moving Oracle from planning into construction. Supporting infrastructure includes the planned East Bank Boulevard connector and a new pedestrian bridge.

For relocating buyers, the East Bank matters because it sits immediately across the river from the established East Nashville neighborhoods along Main Street and Gallatin Avenue. The corridor that has long defined East Nashville's walkable, restaurant-and-music character is now bordered by an active multi-decade construction zone bringing a stadium, a major employer, thousands of housing units (including dedicated affordable housing), parks and new river crossings. Buyers evaluating the area should weigh long construction timelines, traffic and road changes around the stadium, and the fact that most of the district is still years from completion. All figures here come from Metro Nashville, the developers and local reporting; this is a factual snapshot of what is being built, not a forecast of effects on any home's value.
