New City Design reinvent the site as a mixed-use waterfront development with city-defining architecture as a key feature. Neuhoff new city features the adaptive reuse of the prominent curved building on the site and the use of “as much of the historic fabric on the site as possible.” The project’s other main goals include maintaining The slaughterhouse buildings, as well as creating public access to the river.
The distinctive Neuhoff site is located on the west bank of the Cumberland River in the eastern section of Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood. The property was constructed in the early 1920’s as a meat-packing facility and later served as mixed-use space, housing the Nashville Jazz Workshop and the Nashville Cultural Arts Project among Neuhoffothers.

Abandoned for half a century, the sprawling Neuhoff meatpacking complex is poised to become an exciting new part of Nashville’s resurgence. The Project is re-envisioning the riverfront property with a comprehensive design that retains and re-purposes much of the existing buildings, and also strategically incorporates new construction throughout the site. The master plan features a connective network of pedestrian pathways,courtyards, public roof terraces, and cantilevered catwalks that create a memorable series of environmental experiences for visitors to the compound. The 1.3-millionsquare-foot project houses a vibrant mix of offices, cultural spaces, residential units, and retail/dining establishments all designed to culture a new community.
