April 2, 2025 – If you’ve driven down Columbia Avenue recently, you’ve probably noticed some exciting changes happening. Leading this transformation is Devin McClendon, CEO of NAI Nashville Stanton Group. As a Williamson County native, Devin has a love for this community, which is shown in both his work and his involvement in numerous organizations. And his latest project, Margin District, promises to bring excitement to the area. 

The Margin District, located at the corner of Margin Stand extending to the 700-800 blocks along Columbia Avenue, will include lower-level parking, more than 50,000 square feet of street-level retail, approximately 50,000 square feet of executive office space on the second floor, along with twenty-five luxury homes, exclusively marketed by Beacon Group of Tennessee at Fridrich & Clark Realty. This new development also features outdoor gathering spaces, breezeways, and inviting streetscapes, ensuring a welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.

This development will honor the area’s history while also providing modern touches. “The Margin District blends preservation with progress in a way that honors its diverse surroundings and integrates into the character of the area,” Devin shares. “With the adaptive reuse of the iconic Handy Hardware building, along with an inspired mix of new construction designed to reflect the fabric of Franklin with authentic and timeless design, our vision is to establish a new standard for integrated development in Franklin’s beloved downtown.”
