The Jesse

The Jesse at a glance

The Jesse is a boutique, design-forward new-construction condominium building at 730 Main Street in East Nashville, in Davidson County. It sits in the Main Street corridor of East Nashville, a walkable stretch within minutes of downtown, Germantown, the East Bank redevelopment, the new Nissan Stadium, and the Oracle campus on the riverfront. Unlike a subdivision spread across lots, The Jesse is a single mixed-use building — 58 residential units stacked above ground-floor retail and restaurant space — so the community is vertical and urban rather than a street of detached homes.

What you are buying here is a brand-new condominium residence, with one- to three-bedroom layouts running roughly 840 to 1,260 square feet. Pricing on the residences starts around the mid-$400s, and the building is actively selling with delivery scheduled for June 2026. The Jesse is built by Richland Building Partners, a Nashville-based developer. Because the residences are STR-approved (short-term rental eligible), the building tends to draw a mix of buyers — owner-occupants who want a low-maintenance, amenity-rich place to live in walkable East Nashville, alongside buyers who are interested in the short-term-rental allowance. Because we tour the new-construction communities across the metro constantly, this is one we point buyers toward when they ask specifically about new urban condos on the east side.

Who builds in The Jesse

The Jesse is built by Richland Building Partners, a Nashville-based developer founded in 2018 and led by CEO and founder Chris Barnhizer. As the single developer for the entire building, Richland controls the architecture, the unit layouts, the finishes, the amenity package, and the construction schedule — which generally makes for a more consistent, single-point-of-contact process than a multi-builder community where details vary from one home to the next.

Richland brings a track record in this kind of urban infill condominium work: the firm also developed Athena at the Park, a 51-unit luxury condominium project on the West End side of Nashville. As your buyer's agents, we can pull Richland's current availability, finish and floor-plan details, and any standing terms, and walk the included-features list with you so you understand what is standard versus an upgrade before you commit to a specific residence.

Homes & floor plans

The Jesse is new condominium construction — 58 residences within a single mixed-use building rather than detached homes on individual lots. The residences are offered in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations, ranging from roughly 840 to 1,260 square feet, so the range covers a buyer who wants a compact, lock-and-leave one-bedroom as well as a buyer who needs a guest room, an office, or a flex space across two or three bedrooms.

Notable features of the residences include private balconies, elevator access throughout the building, and secure gated parking. The building also folds in more than 5,600 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space, so day-to-day amenities sit directly downstairs. The residences are STR-approved, meaning they are eligible for short-term rental use — an attribute that matters to some buyers and not others, and one whose specific rules and any owner-association requirements are worth confirming for your situation.

Which specific residences, layouts, and views remain available moves week to week in an actively selling building. Richland publishes current availability and unit details on the building's official site, and active listings appear on the MLS — and we can pull live numbers and availability for you so you are comparing real, current options rather than a snapshot.

Amenities & community life

The Jesse is built around a resort-style amenity package aimed at low-maintenance urban living. At the center is a pool deck with a pavilion, paired with a fitness center, a sauna, and a cold plunge — a wellness-forward set of amenities you would more often expect from a larger building. An outdoor patio and lounge give residents shared gathering space, and elevator access connects the residences to the amenity floors and the secure gated parking.

Because the building is mixed-use, daily life is shaped as much by what is on the ground floor and just outside the door as by the shared amenities. More than 5,600 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space is built into the project, and the Main Street corridor around it is walkable. The appeal of a building like this is that the pool, the gym, the sauna, parking, and food and retail all sit a short elevator ride or walk from your front door, with the maintenance of the shared spaces handled for you.

Location, access & schools

The Jesse is at 730 Main Street in East Nashville, on the Main Street corridor. The location is one of its strongest selling points: it is minutes from downtown Nashville, Germantown, the East Bank redevelopment area, the new Nissan Stadium, and the Oracle campus on the river. For buyers who want to be in walkable, central East Nashville rather than a car-dependent subdivision, the position on Main Street puts retail, restaurants, and the core of the city close at hand.

For buyers who weigh school zoning regardless of household, the area around 730 Main Street is served by Metro Nashville Public Schools, including Hattie Cotton Elementary, Rosebank Elementary, and Lockeland Elementary at the elementary level, East Nashville Middle School, and East Nashville Magnet High School. School attendance zones can be redrawn and condominium addresses can have specific assignments, so confirm current zoning for a particular residence directly with Metro Nashville Public Schools before you rely on it.

What to verify before you buy

The Jesse is actively selling new construction with a scheduled June 2026 delivery, which means the details that matter most move quickly. Before you write an offer, it is worth confirming a short list with us:

• Current pricing and terms — the mid-$400s starting figure reflects available residences and changes by unit, floor, and the market; we pull live MLS and builder numbers rather than estimate.
• Which specific residences and layouts are actually available right now, and which floors or orientations come with them.
• The delivery and construction timeline, since the building is scheduled for completion in June 2026 and exact move-in dates can shift.
• The condominium association — what the dues cover (amenities, building exterior, parking, common areas), how they are billed, and the current amount, which we confirm directly rather than estimate.
• The STR-approval details — the specific short-term-rental rules, any association or permitting requirements, and how they apply to your intended use.
• Unit specifics — parking assignment, balcony orientation, finishes, and exactly what is included versus an upgrade.

We pull all of this live for you so you are deciding on current, accurate numbers — not a figure that was right last month.
