The Manning at Belle Meade will consist of a brownstone-colored brick offset with cast stonework details and precast concrete balustrades. The building follows massing and strategies of neoclassic revival architecture by dividing the structure into three. The structures range from 10, 6 and 3 stories and designed to compliment the neighborhood’s architecture.

The property will contain 34 residential units – one-bedroom homes to penthouse suites each with their own balcony or outdoor loggias with summer kitchens – ranging from 1,800 square feet to 6,000 square feet. Elevators will open onto private vestibules and rotundas ornamented with architectural moldings.

Common amenities will include a full service club room, a wellness and fitness center, a private wine cellar, a great room for entertaining, a dining room and a formal library.

The development and design team collaborated to identify cost-effective systems and goals to receive a LEED certification by employing numerous green building strategies into the design and construction methods.

From the site selection and the building’s orientation, to the energy-efficient use of geothermal heating and cooling systems, numerous considerations to build an ecologically sustainable building were employed.

To mitigate the negative environmental impact, sustainably-harvested building materials and finishes will be used including materials with low toxicity in manufacturing and installation.

Methods to conserve water such as rain water recycling systems and grey water recycling systems will be used. In addition water-efficient faucets and other fixtures will be used throughout the project including energy-efficient appliances.
