The pressing issue of affordable housing in Nashville has gained renewed focus as community advocates push for more accessible living options in Music City. Responding to these calls, one local developer has taken a significant step by converting abandoned hotels into permanent housing units.
Karen Brimer is one of the first residents to move into Wallace Studios , a newly transformed apartment complex that offers fully furnished units complete with kitchens and bathrooms.
“Since the day they opened, I was the first person who moved in,” Brimer said.
She is thankful after finally having a stable home after years of living in and out of shelters, including the Mission.
“God, I love this place. I love this place,” she said.
The visionary behind this project is Adam Rosenberg, founder of AGB Real Estate . His team has successfully repurposed the once-abandoned motel into homes for over 130 individuals, many of whom have experienced homelessness, live with disabilities, or are aging out of the foster care system.
