From the East Bank to new riverfront spaces and a growing arts scene, here's what we're watching as Nashville heads into 2027.
If you've lived in Nashville for any length of time, you know one thing for sure: this city doesn't sit still.
New buildings, changing skylines, and orange construction barrels have become familiar sights. But beyond all that construction, there are some exciting things happening that could change how we experience Nashville in the years ahead.
As we look toward 2027, we're especially interested in the projects bringing more public spaces, entertainment, and connections between the neighborhoods we love.
A New Chapter for Nashville's East Bank
You've probably noticed the new Nissan Stadium taking shape across the Cumberland River. Scheduled to open in 2027, the enclosed stadium will bring new opportunities for sporting events, concerts, and entertainment throughout the year.
But the stadium is only part of the story.
Plans for the surrounding East Bank include restaurants, residential spaces, parks, and public gathering areas. The idea is to create a neighborhood that people can enjoy beyond game day.
We're particularly interested in how this development will connect East Nashville with downtown and Germantown, making the riverfront a bigger part of everyday Nashville life.
More Ways to Enjoy the Cumberland River
For a city built along such a beautiful river, Nashville hasn't always made it easy to get close to the water.
That's beginning to change.
A new section of the River North Greenway opened in 2026, marking an early step toward a larger network of walking and biking paths along the East Bank.
Future plans include additional parks, greenways, and pedestrian connections, including improvements to the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge.
Imagine more opportunities to walk along the river, meet friends outdoors, or explore the city without always getting behind the wheel.
That's the kind of growth we're excited to see.
Making Room for the Arts
Nashville's creative community has always been one of its greatest strengths, and we're happy to see the arts included in the city's long-term plans.
The Tennessee Performing Arts Center is planning a new home on the East Bank, with construction expected to begin in 2027.
The future facility will bring new performance spaces to the riverfront, adding another cultural destination to an area that's already seeing major investment.
The new TPAC isn't expected to open until 2030, but we're excited about what it represents: a Nashville that's investing in its creative identity alongside its physical growth.
What Does All This Mean for Nashville Residents?
Of course, growth comes with challenges. Construction, traffic changes, and questions about affordability are all part of the conversation.
And these developments won't happen overnight.
But we're encouraged by the focus on public spaces, neighborhood connections, and creating places where people can gather.
As Nashville continues to grow, we hope to see that same attention given to preserving the independent businesses, creative spirit, and neighborhood character that make this city special.
Because what makes Nashville worth calling home has never been just the buildings. It's the people, the connections, and the communities we've built together.
At Living True Home Group, we're proud to call Nashville home and excited to be part of its next chapter. Whether you've been here for decades or are just getting to know the city, we're always happy to talk about the neighborhoods, changes, and opportunities shaping Nashville's future.
