CRG broke ground on the first building at The Cubes at Sparta Pike, a 198-acre industrial park in Lebanon, Tennessee. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2026.
Known as Building B, the new 520,000-square-foot Class A speculative facility is the first of four buildings in The Cubes at Sparta Pike master-planned industrial park. The park is designed to accommodate users from 250,000 square feet up to 1.4 million square feet, meeting the continued demand for industrial space in the Nashville area. Building B will feature 40-foot clear heights, extra-wide staging bays with grade-level doors, deep truck courts, ample trailer storage, car parking, ESFR sprinklers and high-efficiency LED lighting.
Nashville’s industrial vacancy rate was 4.74% in the first quarter, according to Lee & Associates, well below the national average of 7.0%. Tenant demand in 2025 remains robust, with approximately 11.5 million square feet in active requirements. Supply of large industrial spaces is still extremely limited, with few new-construction starts of over 400,000 square feet across the Nashville area, while large-block tenant demand remains strong.
The Cubes at Sparta Pike, which can accommodate up to 2.8 million square feet of facilities, will serve that demand for larger industrial space. It is located less than a mile south of a full-service interchange at Interstate 40 and approximately 24 miles from Nashville International Airport, with frontage along the Nashville & Eastern Line Railroad.
CRG has retained Jim Rodrigues, SIOR, president of Lee & Associates Nashville, and John Zeffery, partner at Lee & Associates Nashville, to market and lease the project.
The Cubes brand represents CRG’s philosophy of developing best-in-class, next-generation distribution facilities designed to meet the demands of Fortune 500 companies and other premier users as well as institutional investors.
CRG’s parent company, Clayco, will serve as the design-builder for the project, while integrated partner Lamar Johnson Collaborative will be the architect.
Nationwide, CRG has planned, broken ground on or completed over 53 million square feet of The Cubes projects. All are situated in key regional logistics hubs with robust transit infrastructure, high workforce availability and significant population bases.
