Home Care In Brentwood, TN

A mixed-use project planned for Summit Hill near Brentwood will not materialize, with the property eyed for the development now listed for sale.

As the Post reported in September 2018, prospective development company Brian Paul Hotel was planning for the South Davidson County site a project to be anchored by a boutique hotel and potentially to carry a price tag of $320 million.

The proposal included a luxury 171-room Brian Paul Hotel, a 600-seat entertainment venue, 13 penthouse condos, a small commercial building, multiple restaurants and retailers, and 22 garden-style single-family homes. Brian Weissmann and Milwaukee architect Wade Weissmann were planning to undertake the project and seeking to buy the property from Advent Partners.

Now, Advent Partners is seeking to sell the four-parcel site, which offers addresses of 201 Summit View Drive (on which sits a modernist office building) and 0-205-305 Summit View Drive (with each parcel being raw land).

The four parcels offer a collective 24.7 acres, according to Metro records.

Marketing materials do not offer asking prices for the property. The raw land and office building are separate listings.

It is unclear what Advent Partners (led by Preston Adams, a principal with Nashville real estate investment firm Legacy South) paid for the entirety of the site. Metro records note that George Tomlin, president of Brentwood’s GBT Realty, quitclaim deeded the 201 Summit View Drive property to Advent in 1993. Advent paid $378,800 for the 305 Summit View Drive parcel in 1980 and has since been involved in multiple transactions related to that property.

Nashville Business Journal reported in 2015 that GBT Realty was eyeing the site for a mixed-use project to have been called The Summit (read here). GBT Realty seemingly previously operated from the site’s modernist office building, with the company’s office now located nearby at 9010 Overlook Blvd.

According to marketing materials, the roughly 89,659-square-foot office building at 201 Summit View Drive is about 92 percent leased. The four-story structure, which opened in 1983, and is anchored by the regional office of global biopharma company Labcorp.

The building sits on a hill overseeing the southeast corner of the Interstate 65 and Old Hickory Boulevard intersection. A Hyatt Place hotel is located on an adjacent site.

Adams said he has enlisted Rob Lowe and Ross Smith — executive managing director and associate, respectively, for the local office of Dallas-based Stream Realty — to handle the marketing of the property.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WSMV) - A medical staffing company used by hospitals all over the state will close down on July 31.

The abrupt closure by American Physicians Partners is causing many healthcare leaders to scramble to hire emergency physicians.

“We had to go into crisis mode to interview other emergency room providers immediately so that we could get our emergency room up and functioning with a new provider by August 1,” said Dr. Harold Naramore, CEO of Blount Memorial Hospital.

The company claims financial challenges as a reason for the shut down.

“It’s all across Tennessee. I’m here in Knoxville, Tennessee. There are several hospitals that will have a transition of their ER groups as well as in Nashville,” said Dr. Stanton Elseroad, the Tennessee Chapter President of the American College of Emergency Physicians.

Elseroad serves as the Tennessee Chapter President of the American College of Emergency Physicians. The organization is calling upon APP to responsibly transition operations and prioritize continuity of emergency department staffing.

“We have to be open 24/7, so it is very difficult for a business to transition into something that’s open 24/7,” said Elseroad.

He said this closure won’t impact patient care but the contracted medical professionals who provide the service.

“It is disruptive to their jobs and careers, and this is a period of transition that is difficult and very quick,” said Elseroad.

The ACEP is now working with physicians to provide them with resources like malpractice insurance following APP’s recent announcement.

“But I want to make sure through the American College of Emergency Physicians that the physicians have malpractice insurance during the transition and offer fair contracts and the ability to change jobs at will,” said Elseroad.

American Physician Partners sent us a statement saying they’re transitioning services as of July 31.

“Due to our ongoing financial challenges and despite our best efforts, American Physician Partners is transitioning service of its hospital and system partners as of July 31, 2023. We are working closely with our hospital and system partners through this process to facilitate a smooth transition that minimizes disruption of patient service, while positioning our partners to continue providing high quality care going forward. In connection with these transitions, APP will begin a process to wind down operations in an orderly and efficient manner,” said American Physician Partners in the statement.

ACEP said it is working closely with the medical partners to wind down operations.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WTVF) — It reads like a fairy tale, but it's true. A black bear paid a visit to Brentwood on Sunday and Monday.

Out of the woods by Crockett Park, a bear appeared twice by the Witherspoon neighborhood.

On Sunday evening, it was captured on a nest camera strolling up a driveway, tipping over a trash can, having a snack and then taking a nap.

"Pretty cute and pretty awesome," said Julia Clapp about her initial thoughts. "And then it kind of set in, we're [usually] out here playing at that time of night."

The bear went through Julia Clapp's daughter's garbage.

"He was a little particular. Of course with babies, there's certain items in the trash that he did not want. So he certainly was not interested in the poo diapers at all," Clapp said with a chuckle.

On Tuesday, a viewer sent NewsChannel 5 a video of a bear roaming around an Antioch-area apartment complex.

While it could be the same bear, TWRA doesn't know for sure. Biologists say it is common for yearlings to leave their mother in June to search for a place of their own. Adult males are out and about, too. They travel far and wide for a mate.

"I don't think there's more bears. I think it's just people notifying me more about bears," said Tabitha Lavacot of the TWRA.

This month, Lavacot said it's likely more people will see bears. She advises not to overreact.

"Do not run. Do not play dead. Do not try to approach the bear. Don't try to take a selfie with the bear and just respect it. Keep your distance," Lavacot said.

Lately, bears have been spotted at the Bedford-Marshall County line as well as Maury, Williamson and Davidson County.

Crema Coffee Roasters has been a Nashville institution for 15 years now. In that time, Crema has expanded their Music City footprint to include three cafes, including their original downtown location that is a must-visit for any Nashville-based coffee crawls. But now, Crema is leaving the confines of the city limits and heading 10 miles south to Brentwood.

Even though they are leaving home, Crema is maintaining the same standards and values that earned them their place in the Nashville coffee pantheon. This includes meticulous sourcing, quality drink creation, and a thoughtful food menu, all served within the comforting wooded warmth akin to the downtown cafe. It just goes to show, when it comes to coffee and top-notch cafes, you can never have too much of a good thing.

The 2023 Build-Outs of Coffee is presented by DONA. The 2023 Build-Outs of Coffee is sponsored by La Marzocco, Pacific Barista Series, Acaia, and Marco Beverage Systems.

As told to Sprudge by Diana Barton.

For those who aren’t familiar, will you tell us about your company?

In 2007, founders Rachel and Ben Lehman set out to create a unique coffee experience in Music City. Now with three locations, an e-commerce market, and the forthcoming Williamson County expansion, Crema Coffee Roasters prides itself on creating welcoming cafe spaces and roasting exceptional coffee. Named one of the 100 Best Coffee Shops in America and Best Coffee Roaster in Tennessee by Food & Wine, the brand is known for its single-origin and blended coffees, espresso drinks, coffee classes, and bites from local purveyors.

Can you tell us a bit about the new space?

Crema Coffee Roasters, the beloved Nashville coffee brand founded in 2007, will open its first location outside of Metro Nashville on Wednesday, August 30th. Located in the ever-popular Brentwood Place Shopping Center, the new shop will serve its classic coffee drinks alongside an expanded food menu. Rooted in transparency and ethically-sourced products, the team behind the Nashville staple looks forward to serving and sharing knowledge with their new community.

What’s your approach to coffee?

Since opening the first location of Crema, the team has been committed to transparently sourcing coffee and teaching guests about the nuances within their different offerings. Favorite drinks from the menu include the Cuban (a latte made with sweetened condensed milk) and the Coffee Soda (carbonated iced coffee, demerara sugar syrup, orange peel garnish). Classics include coffee by the cup, espresso, filter coffee, iced coffee, and a selection of teas by Rishi. Guests can also purchase bags of coffee beans that are roasted at Crema’s East Nashville roastery. Crema also offers a selection of rotating specialty drinks that change seasonally.

To compliment the larger space, the new location will offer an expanded breakfast and lunch menu created by Courtney Whitsett of Pour La Mere (a locally based Certified Natural Chef), that will include nourishing and delicious food for Brentwood locals to enjoy on the go or while dining in. Standout items include Crema’s Breakfast Sandwich (sourdough toast, egg bake, sharp white cheddar, arugula, homemade tomato-bourbon jam), fan-favorite Avocado Toast (sourdough toast spread with Noble Springs goat cheese, smashed avocado, red pepper flake, microgreens and a squeeze of lemon) and Housemade Granola. Crema has partnered with the organization Nashville Grown, to help get access to local farmers and makers such as Noble Springs Dairy, Stooksbury Creamery, Dozen Bakery, and more to craft their menu items with locally sourced goods.

How is your project considering sustainability?

Every aspect of Crema’s business is approached with care—from serving guests to fostering relationships with coffee producers and taking care of employees. The team’s mission is to serve exceptional coffee, inspire learning, and provide an approachable and welcoming space for their guests—to both new guests and regulars alike. In addition to warm and expert service, Crema takes pride in being a good steward of the planet by creating a zero-waste footprint and sharing knowledge of roasting techniques, preparation, and origin of products.

Coffee devotees across the country can experience Crema at home by shopping online for transparently-sourced and expertly-roasted coffee, instant coffee, home brewing equipment, coffee subscriptions, and more. Passionate about quality of goods and leaving a zero-waste footprint, the team strives to provide a look into the unparalleled adventure of the coffee experience—from seed to cup—while also working to enhance the communities they call home.

What’s your hopeful target opening date/month?

August 30, 2023

Are you working with craftspeople, architects, and/or creatives that you’d like to mention?

Crema is working with Powell to bring a unique and curated experience to its newest location. The inspiration for the space embodies the evolution of a coffee bean throughout the roasting process—starting with the coffee bean’s initial pale green flush, moving to the profound allure of a caramelized brown reflected in the interior palette and woven into the fabric of the design. A mix of organic materials, rich woods, and foliage will be present throughout the space, tying the design back to nature and serving as a reminder of Crema’s steadfast commitment to sustainable practices.

Thank you!

BRENTWOOD - A disastrous seven-minute span destroyed Brentwood's hopes of extending a perfect season Friday night in the Class 6A TSSAA football state playoff semifinals against visiting Houston.

The Bruins allowed Houston to score two touchdowns in the final 25 seconds of the third quarter and another 6:15 in to the fourth quarter en route to a 28-0 loss.

It spoiled Brentwood's hopes of returning the state championship game for the third time since winning the title in 2002. The Bruins (13-1) were runners-up in 2020.

"Right there was a huge swing for us; we just couldn't get a stop and they made a couple of plays," Brentwood coach Clint Finch said. "I don't have a good answer for what happened there. Our defense kept us in this thing all night. We just couldn't find a way to put points on the board."

Houston (12-2), which extended its win streak to 11 games, was clinging to a 6-0 lead when junior quarterback Chandler Day tossed a 59-yard pass to Owen Waggener at the Brentwood 9 and Damon Sisa scored on a 1-yard run two plays later.

Brentwood quarterback Baylor Hayes, who went over 2,000 passing yards on the season last week, then threw an interception on the first play of the Bruins' next possession at the 20 yard line and Sisa scored from 4 yards out two plays later.

On Houston's first possession of the fourth quarter Day tossed a 25-yard pass to Shawne Jones at the Brentwood 32. Later in the drive Sisa scored his third touchdown from 5 yards out.

Day scored Houston's first touchdown on a 34-yard pass to Andre Allen in the first quarter. Day said he was determined to show off his talents, especially to fans who came to see Hayes, who has received eight college scholarship offers.

"It definitely made me play with a chip on my shoulder," Day said. "I knew they all came to see (Hayes) and he's a great athlete. He did a great job. We just happened to get the best of him today."

Houston's defense kept pressure on Hayes throughout the game. He was sacked six times while completing 9-of-21 passes for 58 yards.

"I'm proud of our team; we had a hell of a year and today we sadly met our match," said Hayes, who transferred from Florida for this season. "I couldn't have asked for a better senior year. Coming in I didn't know what to expect and these people changed my life for the better."

Finch said he did not expect Houston's defense to be able to get to Hayes as often as it did and prevent him from getting the Bruins' offense in gear.

"I thought we would hold up better than we did," Finch said. "They were able to man us up on the backend, they were able to bring a lot of pressure and we couldn't adjust to it."
