Global Mall, a former shopping mall situated in one of Nashville’s most diverse and rapidly expanding neighborhoods, shuttered its doors after years of decline. From rebranding to converting its anchor stores into civic, educational, and office spaces, the hub’s iterations presented a complex challenge. How could this aging property be revitalized for the future? The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) took on the ambitious task of transforming the 650,000-square-foot (60,387-square-metre) mall and surrounding auto-oriented area.
In partnership with Metro and elected officials, our Urban Places team delivered a flexible, phased redevelopment plan that reconfigures the 80-acre (32-hectare) site into a vibrant mixed-use district, focused on arts and connectivity. Grounded in a robust, community-based planning and design process—and paired with rigorous market analysis—the plan introduces a thoughtfully designed multicultural arts village featuring a performing arts center, civic service centers, parks, and artist housing.
Consisting of urban design guidelines, strategies for a public/private partnership, and a series of mobility, connectivity, and public realm improvements, this plan will reignite the mall as a cornerstone of the community’s economic and social vitality.
