Model of McEwen Town Center Revealed

A lighted model of the McEwen Town Center development located in Cool Springs has been opened for the public.  It looks like a great project and so far has been well received by the city and community.   The Southern Land Co. seems to always deliver a high quality product.  I think everyone is more excited about a new Whole Foods in Cool Springs than anything.  Here is the story as reported by the Nashville Business Journal:

Public can see model of McEwen urban village project

A lighted model of the coming McEwen urban village is in the Franklin movie theater for the public to view.

Developer Nashville-based Southern Land Co. unveiled the size and scope of the project to community leaders and real estate officials last week and has left its model in the movie theater to drum up excitement.

McEwen, a $380 million walkable village with national upscale retailers on the first floor and condominiums and apartments on the top floors will redefine living in a 93-acre core of Cool Springs, developers say.

The project adds 250,000 square feet of Class A office space, a 150-room boutique hotel, 220,000 square feet of shopping, a Whole Foods and 950 living units.

Townhomes start in the $400,000s and condos in the $300,000s.”

Southern Land Adding Cool Springs Office Space

The horizon of Class A office buildings in Williamson County is growing.  Southern Land Company has unveiled plans for new a office building in Cool Springs to be located within the McEwen development.  The building will be LEED certified.  Here is the story reported by the Nashville Business Journal:
