Really like the fact that some new life is coming to the downtown area of the ‘Boro, but seems like a lost opportunity. With the growth taking place here, some extra density and height would seem more appropriate than another suburban looking development.

Sumner County: Gallatin will see 90 acre Aero Business Park that will dfeature 900,000 sq. ft. of office space.

The master plan shows the business park will have 15 buildings total, though Rob Horton, a partner at Tenn Properties, said that could change depending on tenant needs.

“The first phase, which is a lot of the smaller buildings – those range from 9,000 to 40,000 square feet – that’s pretty well set in stone. The remaining phases we can flex the plan as needed to meet specific customer needs,” Horton said. “[The property was designed] for light industrial and distribution uses, like an HVAC company for example. The buildings will have a mix of dock-height doors and grade-level drive-in doors. We want them to be flexible to accommodate as many types of users as we can.”

The business park is being built over three adjacent parcels, which Sumner County records show Tenn Properties bought for a combined $4.03 million. The first phase of construction is expected to be complete in 2024. Fields said the project is a “10-year build” that will be constructed over time as driven by demand.

Looks good on paper! I'd say that's about as efficient a suburban development could be given they have to work with the parking minimums. Glad to see the buildings on the outside and the parking on the inside. My only question is do those outer ring buildings face the street or show their back to the street?

That's in Davidson County, not Sumner County. Goodlettsville is in both counties, and RiverGate Mall is entirely within Davidson County.

The LC concepts are really impressive - probably the only apartment brand that actually carries any cache in my mind (unlike Haven, which has negative cred). With their on-site restaurants, they're technically mixed use - adding in a hotel next to the apartments is a logical next step in that mixed-use concept...

Montgomery County: Clarksville Montgomery County Regional Planning Commission is set to hear the site plan for Phase 2 of the Hankook Tire America Corp. facility in Clarksville at its meeting on Tuesday.

The South Korea-based business expects to invest $1.6 billion to more than double tire production at its facility in Clarksville. The expansion will create another 1,200 jobs, bringing their total to 2,150, which is ahead of the 1,800 promised when Hankook's plans were announced 10 years ago.

The Clarksville plant produces more than five million tires for passenger cars and "light truck" vehicles each year. The new facility will push annual output to a total of 11 million.

The company will also begin making tires for commercial trucks and buses, which will tally another 1 million tires per year.

Williamson County: Nolensville's new "downtown" area is finally starting to see some movement.

The built-from-scratch urban epicenter will feature retail, residential and greenway space and to carry a price tag, potentially, of up to $300 million.

Nolensville Road Investment Partners — composed of two Nashville companies, the Rochford Group and Land Innovations — paid $5.2 million for the approximately 27 acres to create a town square that will be doable, in part, due to a recently instituted zoning update for the Williamson County city. The land is situated at 7383 Nolensville Road at the southern portion of the overlay.

The development team is eyeing a square that could include mixed-used buildings with retail shops and restaurants located on the main floors and residential units positioned on the upper stories. The initial concept could include about 60,000 square feet of commercial space.

Residential components of the project could including townhomes and stacked flats, with up to 15 units per acre allowed under the new zoning plan and some units to be billed as live-work.

Plans also include a water feature positioned alongside Nolensville Road and that connects to the future square by a pedestrian walkway. Connection to the greenway trail, as well as other local trails, is planned for the development. In addition, the project is slated to include greenspace to protect some historic Nolensville graves.

Smith Gee will be the architect.

I hate the architecture here. Looks like a typical suburban POS development built in the old south. Typical BS. Come on guys be original and do something nice instead of something that looks like a southern plantation. I typically like SG's work, but this is horrid. I blame this on Rochford for being a good ole boy company.

This is what I keep referring about , so many people stuck in a time warp. It’s sad that they can’t let go, think outside of a box and get away from the past.

I think the current design is, in part, meant to appease the folks that will oppose anything new. Not a fan either, but I'd wager it will "evolve".

I get your point... I'm not sure there is any real virtue to trying to make it look like it has been there since the 1800's, but I dunno, I guess I'm just happy it's not another strip mall! Looks like they're actually trying to create a legitimate downtown core area.

The problem is that most of the people moving there are in their 20s. 30's, & 40s. It's not like they are baby boomers that may appreciate the crap from the antebellum south. Most of these folks are probably form CA, NY or IL that just do not give a crap.
