BUZZWORTHY NEWS

McEwen Northside Development
The McEwen Northside community is celebrating a construction milestone with the topping out of the district’s latest addition, Block E, a 300,000-square-foot, $125 million project at the popular mixed-use district. Boyle Investment Company, Northwood Investors, and Northwood Ravin are partnering with Northwestern Mutual, TMPartners, Kimley-Horn and Hoar Construction to make the large-scale project a reality. A community celebration was held on July 18, marking the completion of the structural phase of the nine-story building.

Adjacent to McEwen Northside's iconic Central Park, Block E features dynamic office spaces above sought-after retail storefronts and eateries on the ground floor. Popular upscale clothier Oak Hall, nationally recognized architects TMPartners and leading supply chain company Designed Conveyor Systems have previously been announced as tenants. A multi-level parking garage connected to the amenity-rich building via a covered walkway will provide more than 900 free parking spaces for visitors and employees.
 
Block E’s topping out comes at a time of continued growth for McEwen Northside. Blue Sushi Sake Grill and leading laser facial destination Skin Laundry opened locations in the district this spring. Fine jewelry store Finks, designer eyewear brand Warby Parker and group fitness gym Rumble Boxing joined the district at the end of 2023. Block E is expected to be complete by Spring 2025.

Made Market Franklin
In 2015, Made Market was founded with the goal of coming alongside the maker community and supporting their small businesses, providing a platform and an elevated visibility from which to share their work.

They feature local vendors who produce unique, handmade items. All of their vendors have to apply and pass through a jury process to sell at their markets. You can always expect to find the highest quality, unique, on-trend items when you shop at Made Market.

They’re coming to Franklin for the first time ever tomorrow with more than 70 makers for your shopping enjoyment. The event will take place 10am - 5pm at Liberty Hall at The Factory to shop. Check out their event page to see all the makers who will be there. Kids 15 & under are free. Parking is free.

Downtown Franklin Road Closures 
Bluegrass Along the Harpeth is happening tonight from 7-10pm and tomorrow from 10am-10pm. It’s going to be a great event with live music, dancing, food, and fun on the Square. There will be some road closures: Main Street from 2nd Avenue to 4th Avenue and 3rd Avenue from Church Street to Bridge Street. (Click here to see photo of the road closures). The street closures began at 4pm this afternoon. These closures will not impact parking garages. Plan your travel accordingly and enjoy the festivities. Festival information.
