Well maybe we’d get a direct flight to Paris is they moved here!

This project completely slipped my notice. Is this what they’re building across from the Walmart?

^^What will they use that "amphitheater" for?

Yes.  I think it is the unused land from the Southern Land McEwan project that currently has the Whole Foods strip mall, an office building and some condos.

I think the project directly across Mallory from Walmart is Mallory Green, which is the office building that already topped out plus the Hyatt House and Staybridge Suites.  I think they said they have space to build another future office building as well.  Northside McEwen is an adjacent, but separate and much larger development that the same folks developing Capitol View in the city are doing.  I hadn't heard that Southern Land Company was involved, though.

Ah, thanks. Yeah I knew where Northside McEwen was, I’ve seen that they’re doing a lot of earth-moving at the site recently. That Mallory Green one was news to me though. So many projects in the area, it’s kind of mind boggling when you combine these with the ones at Carothers-McEwen. Plus I think they’re going to be building something on the northeast side of the Carothers-Cool Springs Blvd intersection, near BWW.

More info regarding the 99 East Main mixed use project in downtown Franklin:

- the 2.2 acre site will have a 40,000 sq. ft., 2 story building with office space, retail storefronts, and rooftop restaurant featuring 100 seats. There will be about 135 parking spaces created for the development.

- On March 12, it earned unanimous approval from the city's Historic Zoning Commission. Final approval from the city's planning commission is expected in April.

- Construction should take one year, which means the project would open in late spring or early summer of 2019. There will be about 135 parking spaces created for the development.

Another large mixed-use development in Cool Springs area announced.

A developer is pursuing an immense mixed-use project in Franklin's Cool Springs commercial hub, a project so large it would ring the entire roundabout at the crossroads it would call home.

Franklin-based The Parkes Cos. Inc. plans a development named Avalon that would contain 510 residential units and nearly 500,000 square feet of commercial space. Proposed features include almost 300,000 square feet of retail space, smaller amounts of restaurant and office space, a 530-seat movie theater, a potential grocery store and a day care, according to documents filed with the city of Franklin.

Avalon's plans include 122 town homes and 388 multifamily units, which could be apartments, condos or a blend of both. Plans also call for 73,000 square feet of restaurant space and 63,000 square feet of office space.

Officials with the city of Franklin are set to review the Avalon plans at an informal workshop scheduled for March 22.

If all these huge cool springs mixed use projects come to fruition it’ll be a pretty impressive region. I just hope the Ovation developers can pull it off, with all the financial issues they’ve had recently.

Dorman Products. Inc. automotive supplier will invest $55 million to build a massive plant north of Nashville, igniting a hiring spree that will swell its headcount to almost 600 workers.

Dorman Products Inc.  announced the expansion on March 23. Panattoni Development Co., one of Greater Nashville's largest industrial developers, will build an 815,670-square-foot facility in Portland, Tenn., near the Kentucky border.

Dorman already employs 380 people in Portland. Dorman plans to hire 215 more employees — a 56 percent boost to its headcount.

Dorman's new production and distribution hub will be built on a 53-acre property that allows room for up to 200,000 square feet of potential future expansion, Panattoni said. The building, which Dorman will lease from Panattoni, is set to open by the end of this year. Alston Construction, a sister company of Panattoni, is building the facility.

A-Game Sportsplex, a Williamson County youth sports facility subject to months of uncertainty related to ownership changes, is to be sold to Franklin Fieldhouse owner Trigg Wilkes under the terms of a deal reached late last week.  

Wilkes, said he intends to keep A-Game as a sports facility, though it was not immediately clear whether the clubs that currently use it would remain after their leases lapse. 

Wilkes declined to share the agreed selling price. He said the building still needs an appraisal and an inspection. The purchasing deal could close within the next 30 days, he said.

It would be very prudent for him to bring at least one of the ice rinks back.  Perhaps he can expand the facility to include a couple.

Clarksville to potentially have a 40-50k sq ft, 1,000 seat conference center and  hotel by 2020. This is good news and is sorely needed, the bad news is that it will be off I-24 exit 4, already jam packed with traffic.

This has been needed for decades! Clarksville has always been slow to develop like similar sized cities.  It should've gone in that big pasture between the hospital and the the mall.  I guess the farmer won't sell???
