Walk-Up Window Uses
A walk-up window use makes exceptional sense for this property because it aligns perfectly with the site’s constraints and strengths: the 398-SF building is ideal for a point-of-sale and minimal prep, the fully paved lot absorbs short-stay parking and informal queuing without requiring indoor seating, and the major-road exposure drives impulse traffic without the regulatory burden of a drive-thru under MDHA-JS zoning.
Customers park, walk, transact, and leave quickly, allowing high sales per square foot while keeping buildout costs low and approvals straightforward.
In short, the lot does the work, the building stays efficient, and the use captures visibility-driven demand in a format the zoning clearly supports.

Covered Land Play
Less than a mile from booming and ultra-expensive Germantown! Gentrification is making its way West on Jefferson Street.
A covered land play is a real estate investment strategy where an investor buys property primarily for the underlying land value rather than the existing improvements.
Rough dimensions of the parcel are 102′ wide x 122′ deep. No floodplain.
Prime Urban Location with Historic and Cultural Significance
1213 Jefferson sits at the heart of North Nashville’s historic Jefferson Street corridor, long known for its cultural legacy, music scene, and as home to three major HBCUs. This gives the site deep cultural cachet and strong community identity—valuable traits for developers focused on authentic, community-integrated projects.
Explosive Growth & Proximity to Major Neighborhoods
The property lies just six blocks from Germantown, one of Nashville’s most rapidly appreciating neighborhoods, and is within minutes of Downtown, Midtown, and the Gulch. As these areas grow and become more expensive, Jefferson Street offers the next frontier of accessible urban development.
High Visibility + Traffic Volume
With 20,000+ vehicles per day passing by, this location provides excellent exposure for commercial tenants or brands. This makes it ideal for ground-floor retail, restaurants, or small businesses that benefit from constant visibility.
Opportunity Zone Tax Benefits
1213 Jefferson sits inside a designated Opportunity Zone, enabling investors to potentially defer or eliminate capital gains taxes if the property is developed and held long-term—dramatically improving after-tax returns.
Development Momentum All Around
Several announced and recently completed projects are clustered nearby.
Underserved Market with Demand for New Services
The surrounding area has historically been underserved by modern amenities, and there is unmet demand for quality housing, grocery, coworking, and service-based retail. With three universities and a growing professional base nearby, the demographic fundamentals are solid and improving.
Nearby Colleges
Fisk University. A private, historically Black liberal arts university founded in 1866, located directly along Jefferson Street, just a few blocks away.
Meharry Medical College. Founded in the early 1870s, this private historically Black medical and health sciences college sits just west of Fisk, also on the Jefferson Street corridor—well under a mile from the property.
Tennessee State University. A public, predominantly Black university founded in 1912. Its campus stretches just west of Meharry and north along Jefferson Street, all within walking distance.
These three institutions are historically connected, culturally rooted, and client-connected by their close proximity to 1213 Jefferson – making the site particularly attractive for educational, residential, or mixed-use development that can engage with the student and academic populations in the area.
