Broadview at Vanderbilt features communal workspaces, new grocery tenant

The tall red brick building on the corner of a street

Student residents of the Broadview at Vanderbilt can now pick up their groceries just steps from where they study. The residential community—which was completed in 2023 and houses a number of graduate and professional students—welcomes The Turnip Truck to the fold. The local natural grocer is the community’s second tenant, joining Nashville-based café 8th and Roast and bringing organic produce, housemade pizzas, cold-press juices and a sushi chef.

The Broadview at Vanderbilt is the university’s first public-private partnership. The 616-unit complex features a public courtyard, fitness center and 6,500 square feet of collaboration and study workspaces.

The collaborative workspaces are open to all Vanderbilt students, not just the residents of the Broadview. Students can access the space for individual or group study sessions by using their Commodore Card.
