A Vison Built Around Your Community 1010 Midtown
Finalist Follow Up Submitted by Cooper Carry September 16 2026
MODERA RIVERVIEW NASHVILLE, TN
Getting to Know 1010 Midtown If selected, how would you approach getting to know 1010 Midtown—who we are as a community, what makes us unique, and what our residents and Board value? Please provide a detailed response outlining how you would immerse yourselves in our community and develop an understanding of our culture, history, priorities, and vision before beginning the design process. We actually feel like we’ve already started this process. One of the things we’ve enjoyed most about our conversations with the ARC is that we’ve begun to understand that 1010 Midtown is much more than the building itself. There is a real sense of pride and ownership here, and we heard very clearly in our first conversation how seriously the committee takes the responsibility of making decisions on behalf of your neighbors and fellow owners. We also heard some very practical concerns: How do you create a vision that survives changing Boards and committees? How do you prioritize improvements when everything can’t happen at once? How do you balance aspiration with reserve funding and the realities of implementation? And how do you make sure the community understands not only what you’re recommending, but why? Those conversations have already started shaping how we think about this project. If selected, we wouldn’t begin by designing. We’d begin by listening. Our first priority would be to spend meaningful time at 1010 Midtown and experience the property the way your residents do. We want to walk through the building with the people who know it best, understand what works and what doesn’t, hear the stories behind previous decisions, and learn which spaces residents love — and which ones have been sources of frustration. We’d also want to understand how the building changes throughout the day. What does arrival feel like in the morning versus the evening? Where do residents naturally interact? Which amenities are genuinely used? Where are there operational challenges that may not be obvious during a scheduled tour? Sometimes the smallest observations tell us as much as a formal meeting does. Hearing From the People Who Call 1010 Home We would work with the ARC and Board to determine the right level of resident engagement, but we think it’s important that residents have an opportunity to be heard early in the process. That doesn’t mean designing by committee or asking residents to select finishes. It means asking the right questions before we start drawing conclusions. What do you love about living at 1010? What do you never want to lose? What feels tired or no longer serves the community well? Where do you think investment would have the greatest impact? How would you describe 1010 to a friend who’s considering moving here? And perhaps most importantly: what do you want 1010 Midtown to feel like ten years from now? That input could take the form of a thoughtfully developed resident survey, small listening sessions, conversations with longtime residents and newer owners, or a combination of approaches. We’d work with you to determine what feels appropriate for your community rather than imposing a predetermined engagement process.
Understanding Where You’ve Been Before Deciding Where You’re Going We would also want to understand the history of the property and the decisions that brought 1010 Midtown to where it is today. That means reviewing previous improvements, reserve studies and capital planning information, existing drawings and documentation, resident feedback that may already exist, and any prior studies or initiatives that could give us insight into the community’s priorities. We’d especially like to hear from longtime residents and Board or ARC members who can provide the context that doesn’t necessarily show up in a set of drawings. There is tremendous value in understanding why something is the way it is before deciding it needs to change. Turning What We Hear Into a Shared Vision Once we’ve listened, observed, and learned, we’d bring that information back to the ARC and Board before moving too far into design. We envision an early visioning session where we can say, in essence: “Here’s what we heard. Here’s what we think makes 1010 special. Here’s where we see the greatest opportunities. Did we get it right?” That moment is important. Before we’re talking about a specific tile, light fixture, furniture piece, or even a particular aesthetic, we want to know that we’re aligned on the bigger ideas: Who is 1010 Midtown today? Who does the community want to be tomorrow? What should never change? What needs to evolve? And where will investment make the most meaningful difference? From there, those shared principles become our filter for every design decision that follows. Becoming Part of the Community, Not Just Its Designer One thing we’ve appreciated throughout this interview process is how open and candid the ARC has been with us. It has already made the conversations feel less like an interview and more like the beginning of a working relationship. We’d want to continue that. Our goal isn’t to arrive as outsiders with a predetermined answer for what 1010 Midtown should be. You already know your community better than we ever could. Our job is to listen carefully enough to understand it, bring an outside perspective where it’s valuable, and then translate what we learn into a clear and compelling vision for its future. If we do that part well, we think the design will follow naturally. And hopefully, by the time we’re sitting around the table debating those first design ideas, it won’t feel like Cooper Carry is designing for 1010 Midtown. It will feel like we’re designing it together.

What Sets You Apart? The committee recognizes that this is an exceptionally close decision, and we will ultimately need to make a final recommendation to the Board of Directors. With that in mind, what do you believe sets your firm apart from the other finalist, TVS Design, who is also being considered for this opportunity? In other words, if you were sitting on our committee and comparing the two firms, what would you say makes your team the better fit for 1010 Midtown? We would appreciate your candid perspective on what differentiates your approach, experience, philosophy, or team from your competitor. First, we want to acknowledge that TVS is a talented and respected design firm, and we understand why this has been such a difficult decision for the committee. We’re grateful to be in consideration alongside them. When we talked as a team about what truly sets Cooper Carry apart, we kept coming back to something pretty simple: we think our team is particularly well suited for what 1010 Midtown is actually trying to accomplish. This isn’t just about creating beautiful spaces. It’s about understanding an established residential community, figuring out what makes it special, and creating a vision that can guide decisions and investments for many years to come. Residential design is at the heart of what our team does. We spend our careers thinking about how people live and how the spaces we create affect their everyday experience. There is a different level of responsibility when you are designing someone’s home. For 1010 Midtown, we’re thinking about the resident who walks through the lobby every day, the person who has lived in the building for 15 years, the new buyer deciding whether this is where they want to live, and the owners who are being asked to invest in improvements to their property.

We don’t want to make 1010 Midtown look like the newest apartment building down the street or chase a design trend that may feel dated five years from now. We want to understand what makes 1010 Midtown feel like 1010 Midtown and build on that. One of the strengths of Cooper Carry is that our residential interiors team also doesn’t work in a bubble. We work alongside architects and designers specializing in hospitality, restaurants, mixed-use, landscape architecture, experiential graphics, retail, and urban design. We can bring those perspectives into the conversation when they add value — whether that’s thinking about the arrival experience like a great hotel, giving an amenity space the energy of a restaurant or social club, or using art, landscape and graphics to reinforce the identity of the community. But we think the biggest differentiator may be how we see this particular assignment. 1010 Midtown isn’t a typical new-construction project where a developer makes the decisions, builds the project, and moves on. You already have a community here. You have history. You have residents who care deeply about the building and a Board and ARC balancing different opinions, priorities, budgets, and expectations. Through our conversations with the committee, we’ve heard very clearly that you don’t just need ideas for what 1010 Midtown could look like next year. You need a vision that can continue to work when Board members change, committee members change, priorities shift, and individual projects are implemented over time. The vision needs to outlive all of us. That really resonated with our team. If we’re selected, we don’t want to leave you with a beautiful presentation that sits on a shelf. We want to leave 1010 Midtown with a framework that helps future Boards make good decisions — clear design principles, priorities, material and aesthetic direction, realistic opportunities for investment, and a thoughtful approach to phasing.

Years from now, we want a future Board to be able to look at a proposed project and ask, “Does this support the vision we established for 1010 Midtown?” and have enough clarity in the framework to answer that question. We also think there is real value in the fact that Atlanta and Midtown are home for us. We work here, live here, design here, and have watched Midtown evolve around 1010. We understand the competitive residential environment and the expectations created by the new development surrounding the property. But we don’t think the answer is for 1010 Midtown to try to become one of those new buildings. 1010 already has something they don’t: an established community, history, ownership, and a recognizable place in Midtown. Our job is to build on those strengths while making sure the property continues to feel relevant, desirable, and worthy of its location for years to come. And finally, there is the team you’ve already gotten to know. We’ve genuinely enjoyed our conversations with Jorge and the ARC throughout this process. Each one has made us more excited about the opportunity because we’ve started to understand how much thought and care the committee is putting into getting this right. The people you’ve met are also the people who will be there if we’re fortunate enough to be selected. You’re not meeting an interview team that will disappear once the project is awarded. You’ll have direct access to our senior leadership and the team you’ve already begun building a relationship with, backed by the depth and resources of the larger Cooper Carry practice. If we were sitting in the committee’s position, we wouldn’t make the decision based solely on which firm can create the most beautiful design. Both firms can do that. We would ask: Which team do we trust to really listen to our residents, understand what makes our community special, help us navigate difficult decisions, be thoughtful about how and where we invest, and stay engaged as a trusted partner as this vision becomes a reality? That’s where we believe Cooper Carry is the right fit for 1010 Midtown. We aren’t coming into this with a predetermined answer for what 1010 Midtown should be. We want to discover that with you. And then we want to give you a vision and roadmap that protects what makes this community special while helping it continue to evolve for the next decade and beyond.

Planning Grade Budget Ranges As part of the RFP, the Association requested that our design partner provide planning-grade budget ranges associated with proposed concepts. As a reminder, the budget guidance is expected to be directional rather precise. Can you please provide a brief synopsis of how you propose to gather the budget ranges? One thing we heard very clearly in our first conversation is that the vision for 1010 Midtown has to be grounded in reality. It’s exciting to imagine what the property could become, but we also understand that the Board and ARC ultimately have to make responsible decisions about where to invest, what can be accomplished with available funding, and what may need to happen over time. For that reason, we don’t see budgeting as something that happens after the vision is complete. We see it as an important part of developing the vision itself. As concepts begin to take shape, we would identify the major components and cost drivers associated with each proposed improvement and work with trusted contractors, cost estimators, vendors, and other industry partners as appropriate to gather current market input. The goal at this stage would not be to suggest a level of precision that simply isn’t possible before the design is fully developed. Instead, we want to give the Board credible, directional ranges that are appropriate for making long-term planning decisions — and enough context to understand what is driving those numbers. We also remember the committee asking us an important question during our first meeting: What happens if the vision identifies more opportunities than the current reserve study can support? Our answer is still the same: that doesn’t mean the vision failed. It means we need to help you prioritize it. We would look at the recommendations together and help identify where the greatest impact can be made for the investment. Some improvements may be relatively modest but immediately noticeable to residents. Others may require a larger capital commitment and make more sense as a future phase or when coordinated with planned maintenance or replacement work already anticipated in the reserve study. Ultimately, we want to help the Board answer some very practical questions: What should we do first? Where do we get the greatest impact for our investment? What needs to happen together? What can wait? And what should we start planning for now, even if implementation is several years away? From there, we would organize the recommendations into logical priorities and potential phases, each supported by an appropriate planning-grade budget range and clear assumptions. As individual projects move closer to implementation and the design becomes more developed, those ranges can then be validated and refined through more detailed estimating. We don’t want the final vision to simply show 1010 Midtown what the property could become. We want to give you a realistic roadmap for how to get there. We know from our conversations that the Board takes its responsibility to the homeowners seriously. We do too. Our role is to help you establish a vision ambitious enough to move 1010 Midtown forward, while giving current and future Boards the information and flexibility to implement it responsibly over time.

We approach our residential projects a little differently. We first pursue stories that emotionally resonate with people and embody their aspirations. These stories, and our ability to translate the narrative, then inform our design as we create meaningful experiences that promote community and support fulfilling lifestyles. A LI G AG LI A R D O

Supported by long-term stewardship and a commitment to placemaking, the project will establish itself as a premier residential address where connectivity, culture, and community converge.

Why We’re the Right Fit 65 Years of Serving Clients
Our reputation is built on 65 years of providing top rate service that our clients have come to expect which is why our rate of repeat business is over 90%. People like what we do and how we do it.
Context Drive, Award Winning Design
Although we have won innumerable awards and recognitions, we don’t seek them out as we design for you, not ourselves. This is why Cooper Carry is not known for a certain look. All of our designs are unique to the communities they serve. We learn the culture, mission, goals and aspirations of the client and community.
Our Commitment to and Understanding of Community Engagement
Cooper Carry has been doing community engagement as long as we’ve been in business, especially on projects with many stakeholders and invested parties. We are experienced with a wide range of engagement strategies from small to large scale. We believe stakeholder engagement is not just critical to your success but ours as well. We find curiosity to be at the heart of successful projects. Our creativity is fueled by a depth of understanding, so we listen throughout the entire design process.
