The McShane Companies ranks #79 on the Top Contractors listing published by Engineering News-Record. Additionally, we ranked #3 in Multi-Unit Residential, #40 in General Building and #46 in Domestic Building. First appearing on the Top General Contractors ranking in 1991, McShane has been consistently recognized as one of the top construction firms in the nation for 40 years. Offering multiple service options for a variety of market sectors all over the country, McShane has enjoyed steady growth throughout its years in business.
It is with great excitement that I share the opening of our Nashville Regional Office. Over the past 10 years, we have experienced substantial growth in the Southeast, and the addition of a Nashville office will help us better serve both new and existing clients in the region.
In my 21-year tenure at McShane, I have had the privilege of watching the company grow substantially, and it is an honor to be part of yet another significant moment in company history. I am thrilled to build upon McShane’s success in the Southeast and look forward to expanding in the region and creating new relationships.
Nashville is a robust and growing market that holds a lot of potential for our company and the construction industry as a whole. With a balance of healthcare, corporate operations, manufacturing and supply chain management, Nashville is one of the country’s most attractive growth centers. We see this as an excellent opportunity to focus our expertise on multi-family construction in the region.
We are currently underway with two multi-family projects in the Nashville area: Avenida Indian Lake, a 138-unit active senior living residence in Hendersonville and Novel Harpeth Heights, a 322-unit development in Nashville. Additionally, we recently completed the construction of Parc at Murfreesboro, a 359-unit complex in Murfreesboro.
I am grateful for the support I have received from our clients, partners and friends, and I look forward to the journey ahead.
As America’s suburbs grow, garden-style apartments have become increasingly popular. But what exactly is causing this shift, and what is so appealing about garden-style complexes?
What are Garden-Style Apartments?
A cluster of low-rise buildings, typically two or three stories high, in smaller cities and suburban areas characterizes garden-style apartment complexes. Open areas with lawns, landscaping and pathways connect the buildings, and most complexes are centered around a clubhouse with amenities such as a fitness center and pool.
Trends Affecting Garden-Style Apartments
Over the past few years, there has been an increase in migration from major cities into secondary and tertiary markets. The pandemic has accelerated this trend even further, as many people want to leave cities for lower-density living. Additionally, the pandemic has enabled many to work from home, with 29% of the adult workforce employed in remote-friendly occupations. These people no longer have to worry about living close to their office in favor of a shorter commute.
Why Garden-Style?
For those who want to live in more suburban areas but do not wish to own a house, garden-style apartments are a great solution. Their lower density allows for better social distancing, and they offer open-air amenities and more overall space at a lower cost.
Benefits to Developers
Garden-style apartments do not just provide advantages for their residents; they also benefit developers. Flexible site layouts can accommodate virtually any land site, and suburban areas have larger tracts of land for purchase. Most of these sites are greenfield, eliminating the need for environmental remediation, thereby lowering the cost of construction and shortening the schedule.
Expertise in Garden-Style Construction
We possess extensive experience building garden-style complexes at McShane and are currently underway with 12 developments across the country. Implementing a sequenced turnover of individual buildings enables the owner to begin leasing before the project is fully complete.
