Franklin’s newest mixed-use district has broken ground on a $125 million expansion. The 45-acre McEwen Northside is set to include a nine-story mixed-use building, a new multi-level parking garage and a variety of restaurants.

Construction has begun on the site known as “Block E” and is scheduled to be completed by spring 2025. With its completion, the McEwen Northside District will be approximately 80% completed.

The district first started construction in 2018 with the creation of an eight-story office building.

"With each addition to McEwen Northside, our focus is on enhancing the district's well-earned reputation as a place for friends, families and co-workers to enjoy time together," said Phil Fawcett, Managing Partner of Boyle Investment Company. "In the busy hub that is Cool Springs, McEwen Northside is proud to present our residents and neighbors with opportunities for both work and play, including a truly unique mix of shopping and eating experiences, and we believe Block E will only strengthen McEwen Northside's offerings as a premiere destination district."

In its newest apartment complex, pre-leasing has begun for McEwen Northside Apartments Phase II, which is set to add 428 apartments to the area. Monthly rent ranges from $2,000 to $5,000.

One of the anchor tenants for this property is Designed Conveyor Systems (DCS). The supply chain company focuses on designing and building warehouse material handling solutions.

“DCS understands that providing outstanding customer experience is fundamental to its industry leadership. By moving to McEwen Northside, DCS will have an exceptional setting to showcase its solutions and expertise," said Matt Ferguson, president of Designed Conveyor Systems.
