Wow they must have heard me! I sent Fresh Market a letter over a year ago about that exact location. I even sent links including the city's gateway district website and the Oaks Shopping Center website/flyers.

That/this kinds of thing is part of what continues to draw more WW attention to the mid-state region as a whole ─ don't you know ─ along with the induced collateral benefit that ramifies.  I guess, where there's smoke there's fire, so to speak, an indication that far more eyebrows have been rising, than what has been "let on". -==-

Chapter 7 of the Murfreesboro 2035 Comprehensive plan is now complete. Within this chapter are suggestions for the urbanization of Murfreesboro's downtown and university areas to promote economic growth. The consultants also contemplated that Murfreesboro needs multi-level high rises, mixed used facilities, parking decks, and residential towers downtown to maximize the city's potential and solidify Murfreesboro as an independent city in the Nashville metro area. New large scale retail and business park areas were identified, as well as the increasingly important I-24/840 interchange to foster economic growth. Key weaknesses addressed were Murfreesboro's lack of strategy to develop downtown, blend downtown and the university areas seamlessly, infill surface parking, seek white collar retail, office space/jobs, and residential space, weak cooperation efforts with Nashville to promote the region's most powerful industries in health care, music, tourism, and education, and increased traffic congestion.

I don't think Murfreesboro needs skyscrapers....but I would love to see some mid/highrise development (5-15 stories) around downtown. I would like to see a couple of public parking garages near the square (similar to what Franklin has) and see parking spots eliminated from in front of the courthouse (not the entire square, but everywhere inside the sidewalk that surrounds the courthouse). 

I would also love for the "downtown" feel to extend to NW/SE Broad.

[opendrawerwhore]

Let's just get a plan for traffic in place before we build all these things.  Driving in town can be challenging at times, and I know ALL the shortcuts. Not to mention the Nashville commute every day.

I've said this for many years, under different screen names too, that Murfreesboro needs more mid-rises and a few high-rises downtown to really energize it and revive it further. There's no excuse other than the fact some many people don't want "modern" buildings on or near the square. Sorry, but BOA, SunTrust, and the NHC tower changed that and it needs to evolve.

[opendrawerwhore]

I agree with that, but I think other than the federal courthouse, everything of any significant height is gravitating to the gateway area.

 A few months ago plans for a Civil War Park and Visitors Center around Carter House in Franklin were unveiled.  Not sure if it was posted here.  Nice addition for Civil War history tourists...

The latest Cool Springs office building will be starting in the spring. This one is adjacent to the massive Ovation project. http://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2015/11/09/cool-springs-retailoffice-site-sold-11-million/75450580/

And the firm plans to start asap on 450 apartments... "The Carothers Crossings East site is adjacent to another 25 acres SouthStar purchased from Mars Petcare in December. On that land at 1222 Liberty Pike, the developer expects to start construction in the summer on 450 apartment units."

I've seen a billboard on Old Fort Pkwy (heading east towards Broad) near TCAT saying Kia is opening a dealership in Murfreesboro. The address on the board says S Church St. Any idea where its going? 

[NashRugger]

My first guess would be the old Toyota dealership at Butler/Warrior & Church intersection.

Thanks! I totally forgot about that dealership there.

The NBJ has a weekly feature Bizspace Property Spotlight. Here is one I was not familiar with in M'boro, "Introducing" Fountains at Gateway.  However, I'm pretty sure this does not mean Tiffany and Vuitton are coming to the boro?   Looks like pretty standard stuff... 400,000 of office space. Lots of surface parking with this though. Hopefully the long range will turn those lots into garages and a denser complex for live-work.  Of course, it is suburban after all.

Southpark has ruined me when it comes to reading all these names. I can't say "Fountains at Gateway" without saying it in the voice from the Southpark episode.
