The Nashville construction company’s most anticipated development project with Amazon’s office campus and entertainment district announced Monday the latest deal on the site: its first long-term charitable commitment.

San Diego-based Southwest Value Partners “has made significant financial commitments on a multiyear basis” to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer Fund, said Cary Mack, co-managing partner of the company. He refused to split the donation. 

The deal will bring a number of developments for the development of the world’s largest nonprofit breast cancer research organization, which currently has an office in green hills. It may also include offices there. 

“Our goal is to reduce breast cancer deaths by 50 percent,” said Susan G. Komen CEO Paula Schneider, who recently met with Mack in Nashville. “More than 40,000 people die each year from breast cancer, mostly women.” 

Mack and Schneider are still working out the details of the partnership. 

But the Middle Tennessee annual “More than a pink walk” to raise funds for breast cancer research will move from the Brentwood to Nashville Yards site in the next few years. 

Nashville yards is a $ 1 billion, 17 acre project under construction between Gulch and downtown with tenants in front of Broadway and Church street. The 1.3 acre public Park will front the development along the CSX Corp. railroad. 

“We were focused on this healthy concept of living with green spaces, open spaces, music, festivals, fitness, and the right kind of responsible community users,” Mack said. “A healthy village life is about feeling really good not only about your workspace but also your work environment culturally.”

Infrastructure across the Nashville yards will include open space and footpaths. This work was partially subsidized by a $ 15.2 million grant from the metro government. 

Amazon’s 5,000-person operations center will include two towers near Church street and 10th Ave. N. the First few floors of one tower are scheduled for completion this summer.

The so-called operations centre of excellence will include a Bicycle Parking room and a dog Park. Employees will be allowed to bring Pets to work. 

“The concept of a healthy community lifestyle is dispersed throughout the project, including things like food, fitness and Amazon’s pet-oriented culture,” Mack said. “Positivity and good health fits well with the good work Susan G. Komen is doing in that there is a substantial health focus on treating this disease and helping people live healthy with it.”

The 25-story, 591-room Grand Hyatt will be the first tenant to open this summer as part of a massive project that will also include residential and office towers and shops. 

Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) and MGM Resorts International are building an entertainment district in the center of the yards. It will include a 4,500 capacity music venue, club, cinema and other destinations. 

Schneider said she hopes the partnership brings breast cancer research fundraising featuring concerts, conferences and exercise events that fit Nashville’s music culture. 

Susan G. Komen recently increased funding for metastatic cancer research to help those with cancer who have spread from their original site of infection. 

“You don’t die of breast cancer, you die when it becomes metastatic and spreads through your body,” Schneider said. “We have directed about 70 percent of research funds to metastatic research. For those who live with it, a healthy lifestyle is a big part of it – exercise, low sugar, not too much alcohol. That’s what we know.”
