CBL Properties and Greystar Announce Upscale Multi-Family Development at CoolSprings Galleria in Nashville, Tennessee

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) announced that it has closed on the sale of a 5.35-acre parcel of land in the northeast corner of CoolSprings Galleria in Franklin, Tennessee, an affluent Nashville suburb, to Greystar, a world-class developer, owner, and operator of rental housing.

Located in Franklin, an affluent, growing suburb of Nashville, CoolSprings Galleria is one of CBL’s premier properties, consistently attracting the most in-demand retail, dining, and entertainment options. As the retail industry has evolved, CBL has taken advantage of under-utilized parking lots and undeveloped parcels to add density to its market-dominant mall properties.

“We are successfully identifying opportunities to realize the embedded value available across our portfolio,” said Stephen D. Lebovitz, Chief Executive Officer, CBL Properties. “This transaction allows us to generate value from a non-income-producing parcel by introducing a highly complementary residential development that will add density, drive activity, and further enhance the CoolSprings Galleria campus.”

Lebovitz added, “The strength and growth of the CoolSprings Galleria market has driven new opportunities to enhance and evolve CoolSprings Galleria. The addition of a class A upscale residential community will help further activate the property throughout the day and reinforce CoolSprings’ position as a top retail, dining, and entertainment destination for the region. Greystar is the ideal partner for this project, and we know they will deliver a high-quality development well-suited for the market.”

"We're honored that CBL has trusted Greystar to help bring a new residential chapter to the CoolSprings Galleria mixed-use district. This thriving destination will keep operating as a regional anchor, and by turning an underutilized parking lot into upscale housing with curated ground-floor retail, we're reinvesting alongside the Galleria and helping carry it into the next generation," said Matt Evans, Senior Director of Development, Greystar.

Construction on the 361-unit community with 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail and service will commence later this month and is expected to last approximately two years.
