Premium Outlets Planned for Nashville

Real estate investment trust Simon (Indianapolis) has unveiled plans for a new luxury shopping and lifestyle destination, Nashville Premium Outlets. Construction on the 325,000-square-foot mixed-use center is expected to begin in 2026, with preliminary plans to include roughly 75 best-in-class retailers, restaurants and a hotel, with the potential to add residential options, big-box retailers and more. (The REIT did not reveal the names of any specific retailers committed to being part of the new complex.)

Set to be built in Thompson’s Station, Tenn., at the intersection of Interstates 65 and 840, Nashville Premium Outlets is expected to be a draw not only for residents, but shoppers and tourists from around the state and region, Simon says. The REIT is collaborating on this project with Nashville-based Adventurous Journeys Capital Partners, a hospitality and real estate development firm.

“We are excited to bring another premier shopping and lifestyle destination to Nashville, one of our country’s most dynamic and fastest growing markets,” said Gary Duncan, Simon’s President of Premium Outlets and The Mills. “Featuring great deals from iconic brands, our Premium Outlets also offer enticing food and entertainment options and elevated amenities for both shoppers and retailers alike. We look forward to bringing our distinctive luxury outlet shopping experience to metro Nashville, an area we know well and have long served.”

Nashville Premium Outlets will complement Simon’s existing properties in the metro area, Opry Mills and the The Mall at Green Hills. (Simon owns the latter complex through a joint venture with Taubman Realty Group.)
