The Residences at The Margin District unveils an exclusive luxury residence offering in the heart of historic downtown Franklin
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Oct. 27, 2026 – The Residences at The Margin District is introducing a new level of luxury living in downtown Franklin with the unveiling of its $6,850,000 Flagship Residence, an exclusive offering that allows its future owner to collaborate with Nequette Architecture & Design to create a customized floor plan tailored to their lifestyle and vision.
Occupying nearly two-thirds of the building’s northern façade, the Flagship Residence offers northern and eastern exposures and encompasses an extraordinary 5,737 square feet of interior living space, complemented by an additional 569 square feet of private outdoor living across two expansive balconies.
The generous floor plan includes five or more bedrooms, multiple living spaces, a dedicated private study and separate executive office, and a full scullery. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the residence offers an exceptional combination of space, comfort and sophistication. Designed by Nequette Architecture & Design, the Flagship Residence brings a distinctive architectural vision and an elevated level of luxury to the heart of historic downtown Franklin.
“The Flagship Residence is truly unlike anything we have seen offered in Franklin,” said Leah Crutchfield, Realtor and team lead with The Beacon Group of Tennessee at Fridrich & Clark Realty. “Buyers at this level are looking for more than beautiful finishes and an exceptional location. They want the freedom to live effortlessly without sacrificing the space to live fully. The security and ease of a lock-and-leave lifestyle, paired with the luxury of expansive living spaces designed around the people and moments that matter most, is what makes this residence so extraordinary.”
Located along the 700 and 800 blocks of Columbia Avenue, just south of Franklin’s historic Main Street, The Margin District is a 180,000-square-foot mixed-use development that blends preservation with progress, bringing new living, working, shopping and dining options within walking distance of the Downtown Franklin Historic District.
The development includes 50,000 square feet of street-level retail and restaurant space, along with another 50,000 square feet of office space. In addition to the Flagship Residence, The Residences at The Margin District feature 23 luxury condominiums, with six sold to date. The residences offer spacious layouts ranging from 2,000 to more than 3,000 square feet, private outdoor terraces, two secure parking spaces in a gated garage and approximately 100 square feet of private storage. Designed with sophisticated finishes and modern amenities, the residences offer a convenient lock-and-leave lifestyle, with delivery expected Q4 2027 through Q1 2028.
Thoughtfully designed to complement Franklin’s historic character, The Margin District features authentic architectural details including warm brick, stepped rooflines, gabled dormers, classic millwork, antiqued brass and natural textures. The development also incorporates the former Handy Hardware store, carefully restoring and reimagining elements of the building to honor the city’s architectural heritage.
