Chestnut Flats 1216-1220 Lewis St 39 Unité Immeuble d’appartements 3 602 007 $ CAD (92 359 $ CAD/Unité) Nashville, TN 37210

SVN | Accel Commercial Real Estate is pleased to present Chestnut Flats — a 39-unit, high-upside value-add multifamily opportunity located at 1216–1220 Lewis Street in Nashville, Tennessee. Positioned in the rapidly transforming Chestnut Hill submarket within the 37210-zip code, the property offers investors a rare opportunity to acquire a partially offline asset with significant operational and physical upside just minutes from Downtown Nashville. Originally constructed in 1959 and 1969, Chestnut Flats consists of two buildings situated on 0.66 acres, providing a manageable scale for repositioning in one of the city’s most active infill corridors.
With 19 of 39 units currently offline, the property presents a true “basis play” with immediate value creation through renovation and lease-up. This level of vacancy allows a new owner to execute a phased or full-scale repositioning strategy without significant disruption to in-place tenants — a scenario rarely available in today’s supply-constrained Nashville market. All units are subject to MDHA affordability restrictions (50% and 120% AMI) through July 2029, offering a clear runway for stabilized workforce housing cash flow in the near term, with the potential for long-term strategic repositioning upon expiration. Investors can capitalize on strong rental demand in the urban core while implementing interior and exterior upgrades to drive rents within the allowable thresholds.
Chestnut Flats is ideally suited for experienced value-add and distressed asset investors seeking:
- A discount-to-replacement-cost acquisition
- Renovation with meaningful upside
- Lease-up opportunity in a high-demand submarket
- Proximity to Downtown, WeHo, and major employment hubs
Surrounded by ongoing redevelopment, adaptive reuse projects, and continued population growth, the property benefits from its location within one of Nashville’s most rapidly appreciating urban corridors. With the right execution, Chestnut Flats offers investors the opportunity to unlock significant value through repositioning, operational improvements, and long-term market appreciation.
