The award recognizes design efforts related to MC3 at Martin Corner, phase three of a multi-phase East Nashville infill project being developed by Martin Corner GP. The award was announced at the 34th Annual Preservation Awards held on Thursday, May 21. MC3, which anchors the southeast corner of South 11th and Fatherland Street, is part of a masterplan for the Martin Corner area of east Nashville. Consisting of three buildings forming a private courtyard in the center, MC3 includes 20 residential condominium units.
