Nashville Moving Toward Smaller, Upscale Homes

This week, The Tennessean profiled Bernie Bloemer, a Brentwood homebuilder known for mansions and upscale, custom homes in Nashville. Bloemer has built in areas including Oak Hill, Green Hills, and Princeton Hills. The scope and scale of his creations has been enormous--15,000-20,000 square foot homes that include features to the obscure - like gymnasiums and casinos.

However, considering the economy, Bloemer is now planning two new projects in Fairview—already named Heartland Reserves and Huntington Park. Bloemer’s mega-mansions are being scaled back to 2,000-3,000 square foot homes in French country designs that should appeal to families. Additionally, Huntington Park is a planned 36-townhome community with prices in the $195,000-$220,000 price range. The townhomes are planned to be 1700-1800 square feet with 3 bedrooms that should appeal to young couples and retirees. Both areas are in wooded areas with many hills, trees, and planned walking trails.
