Cumberland Penthouses Floor Plans

Specifically, Cumberland Penthouses carries a unit mix spanning 1-4 bedroom condos. The MLS-documented closings in the trailing 18 months cover the building’s working floor plates at each unit size.

• 1-bedroom plates: 1 closed sale at median $627,500. Verify exact square footage and floor plate orientation per the active MLS listing.
• 2-bedroom plates: 3 closed sales at median $689,000. Verify exact square footage and floor plate orientation per the active MLS listing.

Cumberland Penthouses Investment Outlook

Overall, Cumberland Penthouses draws three buyer profiles. First, downtown professionals target the smaller floor plates for walkability to the central business district, Bridgestone Arena, and Lower Broadway. The unit-mix range delivers useful primary-residence space at a price band below comparable new-construction inventory in the Gulch and SoBro corridors.

Second, downsizing buyers from Forest Hills, Belle Meade, and Green Hills target the larger floor plates as lock-and-leave primary residences with downtown walkability. The top-of-band closings document the building’s price ceiling for the larger plates.

Third, short-term rental allowance at Cumberland Penthouses depends on HOA bylaws plus Metro Nashville STR permit rules. Therefore, verify in writing with the HOA before any buyer purchase intended for STR use. Notably, Davidson County does not allow non-owner-occupied STR permits in residential zoning districts.

Notably, the 63-day median DOM at Cumberland Penthouses signals slower resale velocity for the building relative to the downtown Nashville condo range. By comparison, neighboring high-rise buildings such as Viridian (median 57 days) and Encore (median 43 days) bracket the downtown norm.

For buyers looking at Cumberland Penthouses, three factors apply. First, confirm HOA STR policy in writing if rental income is part of the buy plan. Second, verify FHA project approval status through the HUD FHA condo project approval lookup before pursuing FHA financing. Third, evaluate the specific unit floor plate carefully.
