Atlanta-based Watkins Real Estate Group will develop Village Green, a Publix-anchored shopping center in Nolensville, Tennessee.
In addition to Publix, five national and regional tenants have already signed leases for the development, including Heartland Dental, Club Pilates, Jersey Mike’s, Waxing the City, Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa and Physicians Urgent Care. JLL Executive Vice President William Shell and Associate Harris McCullough will lead leasing efforts on behalf of Watkins.
Village Green broke ground in July and is a specialty retail center designed to meet the needs of the Nolensville community by providing increased accessibility to a variety of shopping, dining and service providers. Strategically located at 7344 Nolensville Road, Village Green is surrounded by a dense residential market and will fill a gap in the market by providing a convenient grocery option for the area. Since 1980, Watkins has developed over 50 Publix-anchored retail centers across the Southeast and plans to deliver Village Green in summer 2025.
Located in Williamson County, the wealthiest county in Tennessee, Village Green is poised to be the dominant grocery-anchored complex in the market. Nolensville boasts one of the highest growth trajectories in the Nashville MSA in both residential communities and commercial businesses. Known for its antique district, historic sites and award-winning school system, Nolensville maintains a small-town feel and is an ideal landing spot for family-oriented brands looking to capitalize on a growing market.
