The marquee project reshaping Fairview is Fairview City Center (also marketed as Fairview Town Center), a ~52-acre, ~$275 million multi-phase mixed-use district by Nashville-based Regent Homes along Highway 100 / Fairview Boulevard. It broke ground June 7, 2024, with site work and the first homes underway, pairing walkable retail and restaurants with hundreds of homes next to Bowie Nature Park. A separately approved $20.6M Ascension Saint Thomas freestanding emergency department is a notable secondary project.
MARQUEE PROJECT - Fairview City Center (a.k.a. Fairview Town Center). A multi-phase, mixed-use district on a ~52-acre parcel north of Fairview City Hall, with frontage on Fairview Boulevard / Highway 100. It threads new homes into a walkable fabric (town square, pocket parks, greenway) connected to Bowie Nature Park's trail system.
DEVELOPER - Nashville-based Regent Homes (president David McGowan). Regent is developing City Center alongside an adjacent neighborhood, Bowie Meadows.
INVESTMENT - Total projected investment reported at approximately $275 million across both Fairview City Center and Bowie Meadows.
SIZE & UNITS - ~52 acres. Across City Center plus Bowie Meadows, the developer cites 400 to 600 homes priced from the $400,000s to the $800,000s (courtyard and park-under townhomes, live-work townhomes, and single-family homes).
COMMERCIAL SPACE - Fairview City Center is planned to include roughly 15,000 sq ft of retail/shops-and-services space and ~7,000 sq ft of restaurant space, with walking trails and sidewalks connecting to pocket parks and to Bowie Nature Park. (Some master-plan documents cite larger commercial figures; totals vary by source and project phase.)
TIMELINE & STATUS - Site work began in spring 2024; the public groundbreaking was held June 7, 2024. The first single-family homes have gone up, with commercial/restaurant space following in later phases. Built in phases due to the project's size.
AMENITIES - Town square, pocket parks, walking trails and sidewalks, and a greenway connecting to Bowie Nature Park.
NOTABLE SECONDARY PROJECT - Healthcare campus near Fairview Boulevard and Audubon Cove: Ascension Saint Thomas plans a $20.6 million freestanding 24-hour emergency department, co-located with a Dickson Medical Associates physician-led outpatient facility. First announced in February 2026, the project received Tennessee Health Facilities Commission (Certificate-of-Need) approval on May 27, 2026, and would be among Fairview's first dedicated 24-hour ERs.
Fairview's residential pipeline spans multiple active developments, and the town's population has grown in recent years (roughly 9,400 in 2020 to about 10,500 in 2024). Unit counts and project figures vary by source and phase; the City of Fairview's planning records are the reference for any one project.
