This ordinance approves a construction and license agreement between the Metropolitan Government (“Metro”) and KIPP Nashville for the completion of certain construction work associated with the redevelopment of the Global Mall site. Metro owns a portion of the Global Mall property. KIPP Nashville owns property consisting of a former anchor store attached to the former Global Mall.
Metro has started its demolition work at the Global Mall site. Certain shoring and related work on KIPP Nashville’s property must occur to complete the demolition project.
The agreement would provide Metro a license and right of access to the KIPP Nashville property to complete its work during the duration of the project. Metro would hire a contractor to complete the shoring and related work and pay for all costs for the project.
The term of this agreement would begin when the agreement is dated upon approval by the Metropolitan Council. Work on the KIPP Nashville property would not begin before May 22, 2026. Metro would agree to complete the project by July 31, 2026, subject to reasonable extensions in case of emergencies.
