6. Northside McEwen

Announced last summer, construction is underway for Northside McEwen, a mixed-use project on McEwen Drive in Cool Springs, just west of the McEwen Drive and Interstate 65 interchange.

Slated for completion sometime in 2018, the initial phase includes 200,000 square feet of Class A office, 26,000 square feet of retail space, three restaurant pads, and 330 upscale residential units. No tenants have been announced yet. But that could change soon.

“We don’t have any updates on McEwen Northside at this time,” Kristin Cales, spokesperson for Boyle Investment Company, said. “Hopefully, though, in the near future.”

The 45-acre lot sat empty for years, and was one of the last such large lots left in Cool Springs. As such, local developers Boyle Investment Company and partners Northwood Investors and Northwood Ravin, of Charlotte, are excited about the project.

The project flew through the planning process with the city of Franklin. Now a year since the project was announced, its groundbreaking was in May and phase one of construction is underway.

Part of the project includes road improvements, such as extending Aspen Grove Drive from Jordan Road to McEwen Drive, connecting Northside McEwen to Cool Springs Boulevard, and adding a traffic signal at McEwen Drive and Aspen Grove Drive to connect the Whole Foods-anchored shopping center to Northside McEwen. Total investment for Phase one is $120 million.

“Northside McEwen is a 45-acre mixed-use project designed around the ideal work-life experience,” says Phil Fawcett, a partner at Boyle Investment Company. “The thoughtfully planned district seamlessly blends together an active lifestyle with work, rest and play by delivering an intimate and vibrant urban experience in the suburbs that cohesively connects the office, residential, retail, restaurant, hotel and greenspace components as vital parts of the walkable community.”

Taking advantage of the high-quality growth in Williamson County, Northside McEwen will build upon Cool Springs’ strengths and bring a completely new, walkable, urban experience to the region. Offering more than just a retail space, Northside McEwen is an extraordinary place where brands can be themselves. Through storefront customization, brands can stay true to their character while providing an interesting and vibrant streetscape in which office workers, residents and visitors will gravitate and gather.

Northside McEwen offers a unique urban experience with top local and national retail and restaurant brands in the core of a leading suburban market with high disposable income. By combining the best Nashville-native businesses with a thoughtfully curated list of benchmark brands and new-to-Nashville experiences, Northside McEwen will be the go-to destination for cool in Cool Springs.

The sophisticated apartment residences at Northside McEwen are designed to blend seamlessly into the 45-acre urban neighborhood of plazas and parks, providing residents easy access to a dynamic community of best-in-class Nashville shopping and eating experiences, collaborative offices and contemporary hotel space.

“Superior amenities and walkability combine to create an extraordinary lifestyle experience at the residences at Northside McEwen,” says David Ravin, President and CEO of Northwood Ravin. “Everything an active lifestyle commands is at the doorstep of the luxury residences. The apartments will include soaring 10’ ceilings, designer kitchens and bathrooms, elevator access, as well as a huge health and fitness center, spa, resort pool and resident club. All these best-in-class amenities and more are conveniently located right where you live, work, rest and play.”

Fully integrating the office, residential, retail, restaurant, hotel and greenspace components in an intimate and walkable district, Northside McEwen delivers a vibrant urban experience in the suburbs of Williamson County.
