Welcome to Margin District
Luxury. History. Proximity.
It’s all on the Margin
Just south of the iconic square in Franklin, Tennessee will be a new, exclusive destination — The Margin District.
Here on the Margin, luxury residential, retail, and office space bring new energy to downtown’s periphery and create even more reasons to visit, enjoy a meal or shop with friends and family.
Reflecting the fabric of Franklin that reaches back to 1799, The Margin District thoughtfully incorporates the historic Handy Hardware building into the project through preservation. Locally inspired millwork, antiqued brass, stepped rooflines, and dormered, gabled upper floors all contribute to stately, authentic, and timeless designs that define one of America’s most notable small towns. The Margin District is an elegant expression of Franklin’s balance between preservation and progress.
The property includes lower-level parking, more than 50,000 sf of street-level retail, approximately 50,000 sf of executive office space on the second floor and 25 luxury homes on the third floor.
Experience life on the Margin starting in 2027.
On the Margin
Of Downtown Franklin
The Margin District is an extension of the heart of one of the top-rated small towns in America — named Greatest Southern Town by Garden and Gun and one of the country’s Best Places to Live by CNN Money. Franklin’s upscale shops, boutiques, and restaurants, plus its rich history and year-round festivals and events, create the atmosphere of a classic American Mainstreet.
Additionally, here you’re just a short drive to the Cool Springs business and shopping district, and only 30 minutes from Nashville — a thriving center for business, entertainment, and professional sports — and Nashville International Airport.
