Infill Nashville provides you with a comprehensive online tools set to help you understand the Nashville real estate market: Frequently Asked Questions about the Infill process. What is Infill? “Infill” is a land planning term used to describe the new development of vacant or underutilized land within cities and suburbs. Infill development supports the concept of “highest and best use of the land” and is the foundation for Infill Nashville’s business model. This can be accomplished by adding housing units into an already approved subdivision or neighborhood, and by creating new residential lots by further compatible subdivision or lot line adjustments. Infill development can also include replacing existing homes and rental units that are blighted, obsolete, or do not contribute to the character of the neighborhood.

Also referred to as gross density (the density of all land areas with a site or municipality, including nonresidential land) or net density (the density of residential land only). Density can be carefully designed to be extremely livable. Well-designed density is a critical component of successful infill. Density bonus: A reward to a developer who provides a community benefit such as affordable housing or open space. The bonus is permission to build additional square footage or more units than zoning would otherwise allow. For a Full Glossary of Infill Terms - Click Here
