Nashville is about to welcome a bold new architectural statement from developers Cristian Sahdala and Carolina Servin of Vanguard Strategic Development. They have proudly unveiled their latest project, The West Village, a luxury enclave of Spanish Colonial-style homes that promises to redefine the city’s residential landscape. The inspiration behind the project draws from two places that left a lasting impression on Cristian: the timeless elegance of Rome, with its rich architectural heritage, and the artisanal beauty of Altos de Chavón in Casa de Campo, a meticulously handcrafted replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village. These influences sparked Cristian’s early passion for architecture and now shape his vision for bringing Mediterranean soul to the Music City.
Nestled in the heart of West Nashville, The West Village will feature four meticulously crafted single-family homes, each offering approximately 3,000 square feet of elegant living space. This community is a fusion of European charm and contemporary sophistication, offering a rare opportunity for Nashvillians to own a Spanish-style home in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Each residence will showcase ultra-premium finishes, including Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, Centurio Black Calacatta marble accents, and state-of-the-art Sub-Zero appliances paired with iconic La Cornue stoves. These features aren’t just opulent — they embody Cristian and Carolina’s dedication to quality, authenticity, and timeless design.
Vanguard Strategic Development envisions projects like The West Village becoming their signature, an architectural hallmark that sets them apart in Nashville’s competitive market. Their mission is to develop iconic, culturally inspired homes that blend heritage and innovation. With this distinctive approach, Vanguard plans to expand its footprint, bringing similar Mediterranean-inspired communities to other prime locations across the city, crafting a legacy of beauty and sophistication throughout Nashville.
Construction is set to begin June 1st, with an exclusive launch event scheduled at Soho House Nashville in late May. Completion is projected for Fall 2025, with pricing details to be announced soon.
As Cristian puts it: “What was once a vision is now becoming reality — a new era of architectural design is rising in Nashville. With The West Village, we are not just building homes, we are bringing a piece of our heritage to a city that welcomed us with open arms in 2016. To now contribute to its skyline with a project that blends tradition, elegance, and cultural soul is both an honor and a dream fulfilled. This is more than development — it’s a legacy in the making.”
