Suburbs Continue to be the ‘Shining Star’ for Nashville’s Multifamily Sector

by John Nelson April 4, 2022

Suburban household growth in metropolitan Nashville was already outpacing urban growth prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has accelerated since the outbreak due to corporate America’s acceptance of work-from-home staffing. Multifamily investors have followed this suburban household growth as well. Two recent examples are in Lebanon and Murfreesboro, both high-growth, high-quality suburbs of Nashville that have recently experienced record-setting transactions. The Pointe at Five Oaks recently sold for $243,000 per unit, setting a record for Lebanon. Vantage at Murfreesboro recently went under contract north of $270,000 per unit, also setting a record for Murfreesboro. We don’t see this activity and record-setting slowing down any time soon due to the lack of supply, overwhelming out of state demand and skyrocketing replacement costs. New multifamily development continues to follow the suburban trend, often times with a mixed-use component. Case in point, Highwoods Properties has completed the assemblage of all 145 acres of Ovation Franklin and is beginning the journey to reimagine and re-introduce one of the greatest opportunities for mixed-use development in the nation. This project will consist of 1.4 million square feet of Class A offices, 950 residential units, 480,000 square feet of retail and restaurants and 450 hotel rooms. Single-family …

Nashville Welcomes Wave of New Retailers, Restaurants Entering the Market

by John Nelson March 28, 2022

After national media declared traditional brick and mortar retail to possibly be on it’s “last leg” due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nashville area has seem quite the opposite reaction. Already in an accelerated state of demand going into the shutdown of 2020 that extended into a malaise in 2021 in many places, Nashville is seeing all indicators of the hottest retail market in its history. Prior to the pandemic, rents and occupancy were already at historic highs. 2020 began with a continuance of that trend and ended the year higher with the most active submarkets closing the year below a 5 percent vacancy rate across all retail product types as the market absorbed more than 300,000 square feet of new product. During 2021, the region experienced further good news for landlords with rents increasing at one of the fastest rates in the United States (more than 8.8 percent). This continues a trend lasting more than 10 years where regional rent growth outpaced the national average. This growth was at least partially driven by a vacancy rate at year-end of only 3.7 percent. The primary driver of these metrics continues to be population growth and a low level of retail …
