(FRANKLIN, Tenn.) August 3, 2015 – Just weeks after Boyle announced a Publix grocery store at Berry Farms, the master planned mixed-use community in South Franklin is now set to begin developing the Offices at Town Center in Berry Farms. The Offices at Town Center will be a unique district in Berry Farms that will include approximately 25 acres and contain Class A mid-rise office buildings totaling 250,000 square feet. The office district features state-of-the-art buildings with attractive architecture and Class A amenities in an innovative and efficient work setting. The buildings will be located along tree-lined streets in a pedestrian-friendly environment within walking distance to retail shops, restaurants, lodging and open spaces.
Conveniently located at the Interstate 65 and Peytonsville Road (Goose Creek Bypass) interchange, and within three miles of Interstate 840, Berry Farms is strategically situated to capitalize on the growth of Williamson County as well as provide easy access to labor forces in Davidson, Rutherford, Maury and Dickson counties.
Berry Farms has completed its first two phases of development, including over 130 residences and 27,000 SF of commercial retail businesses; but more is on the way with a total projection of 1,100 residential units, 1.8 million SF of retail and 3 million SF of office space.
Construction of the infrastructure for the Offices at Town Center is set to begin this fall with a projected completion to correspond with TDOT’s work at the I-65 and Peytonsville Road interchange in 2016. The office buildings will follow, with completion expected in 2017.
“Berry Farms is receiving strong interest from office users who desire a Williamson County location,” shares Thomas McDaniel, Director of Office Leasing at Boyle Investment Company. “Unlike new construction in Cool Springs, Berry Farms offers flexibility to customize sites and buildings to the user’s needs. And our live-work-play lifestyle and amenities are very appealing to executives who are seeking a more progressive work environment for their employees.”
Within walking distance to the Offices at Town Center, and adding further to the Berry Farms amenity base, a 123-room Hampton Inn & Suites hotel is currently working through city approvals with plans to break ground this fall in the Town Center. The new Publix grocery store and additional retail will add another 66,000 square feet to the existing retail, for a total of 93,000 square feet of grocery, restaurant, service and specialty retail shops. There is also a seasonal Farmers Market in the Town Center, all within walking distance of the office site.
“South Franklin and the Berry Farms submarket is emerging as a unique destination and new economic engine for the City of Franklin,” states Phil Fawcett, partner at Boyle Investment Company. “This unique, landmark community is one of the fastest growing submarkets in the region and will serve as the southern gateway to Franklin.”
Berry Farms is defined by Luxury, Lifestyle and Location. Residential, retail and office users get all the benefits of an urban lifestyle and work environment with the added benefits of a suburban setting in Franklin; a walkable community where they can live, work, shop and play, right in the heart of Williamson County. And all in a location that can’t be matched, with convenient access to I-65 and I-840.
