Harding Road Development


The Tennessean featured a rendering of the proposed shopping complex on Harding Road near Kenner Avenue (above) in its story on Saturday updating the announcement that Publix will anchor what will be called the Hill Center at Belle Meade.

Personally speaking, I like the look of the development compared with the current structures. I especially like the plans to put the building closer to Harding Road. This New Urbanism element is part of a larger plan for the area that would dramatically change how traffic moves from White Bridge Road to Harding Road and vice versa and hopefully eliminate some of the congestion. This map from the plan document provides some perspective on where the Publix and adjacent office building fit in. From what I can tell, in the rendering above Harding Road is on the far right, and a new connector road to White Bridge road is directly in front of the Publix store.
