  • Project planned for 3.81 acres in the Seven Springs area near Brentwood

Developers are making plans for a 144-unit apartment community on property behind the St. Martin Square condos at Seven Springs near Brentwood.

An entity linked to real estate firm Vastland Cos. is seeking final site plan approval to allow for the project on 3.8 acres at 323 Seven Springs Way. Engineering and planning firm Civil Site Design Group made the filing with the Metro planners on behalf of property owner St. Martin Square Inc., which is an operating entity of Nashville-based Vastland.

Vastland General Partner Mack McClung has long sought to develop the site originally eyed for the second phase of the 72-unit St. Martin Square luxury condos. After the condo market collapsed amid the Great Recession, McClung began pursuing alternate uses for the property, which he got rezoned three years ago to allow for 144 multifamily units.

"Since then, we've conducted market studies and worked on getting our financing approved, designing the product, working with our engineers to get a site plan that we can submit and are ready to move forward," said Ken Renner, vice president of sales and leasing for Vastland Cos.

Construction of the four-story building should begin sometime after approval is obtained from the Metro Planning Commission, which has the request on its agenda for Nov. 13. "There's a great market for apartments, and that's what we're pursuing," Renner said, citing new headquarters at Seven Springs for LifePoint Hospitals Inc. along with retail space plus a new building developer Highwoods Properties plans for offices for insurance giant AIG among developments boosting interest in the nearby community.

Besides St. Martin Square, Vastland developed Glenbrook Shopping Center in Hendersonville and many Nashville-area residential projects.

Parents of Student Murdered by Maintenance Man Sue Apartment Complex

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go
