Tareen Development Partners is advancing plans for a 311-unit apartment tower on the site of a former strip club in Nashville, targeting a property that once housed Pure Gold’s Crazy Horse. The multifamily project is planned for a 0.69-acre parcel at 300 McCann St., a location that fronts Interstate 40 and is positioned between downtown Nashville, the Gulch and Wedgewood-Houston.
The proposed 16-story tower would deliver a diverse residential mix. Current plans call for 36 studio apartments, 166 one-bedroom units, 71 two-bedroom units and 35 three-bedroom units. In addition, the program includes three live-work units, indicating an effort to accommodate a blend of residential and small-scale commercial or professional use within the same footprint.
The underlying land has changed hands recently. In October 2025, Reid Shippen acquired the property from Nashville-based development firm The Mainland Cos. for $2.5 million. Tareen Development Partners now intends to purchase the site from Shippen by the end of the year, positioning the firm to move forward with vertical development once approvals and timing align.
Design responsibilities for the project have been assigned to MZA Architecture & Interiors, which is serving as the architect for the planned 16-story building. The site benefits from federal Opportunity Zone eligibility, providing potential tax advantages for qualified investors and adding a capital-formation dimension to the planned redevelopment of the former entertainment venue.
From a planning perspective, the proposal still faces an approval process. Plans for the apartment tower are scheduled to go before the Metro Planning Commission on August 13, where entitlements and design details are expected to receive formal review. If Tareen Development Partners completes its acquisition on the anticipated schedule, the firm aims to break ground on the project in 2027, setting up a longer-dated delivery timeline for new multifamily supply at the edge of several of Nashville’s most active urban districts.
