120 Old Westmoreland Road PUD

The 120 Old Westmoreland Road PUD is one to watch rather than one to tour. As of mid-2026 it is a proposed planned-unit development — roughly 94 single-family lots on about 27.2 acres on Old Westmoreland Road in Portland, with Cornerstone Development Services named on the application. The Portland Municipal Planning Commission has reviewed it at the conceptual stage, which means it sits in early pending-approval. No builders have been named for the homes yet, and no pricing or floor plans have been published.

We are writing this up honestly: there is not much to say yet because there is not much built yet. What we can tell you is where it would sit, the shape of what is proposed, and exactly what to confirm before you attach yourself to a community that is still on paper.

Where it sits

Portland anchors the north end of Sumner County, near the Kentucky line — a small town with its own downtown and a slower pace than the Hendersonville and Gallatin stretch closer to Old Hickory Lake. As the name suggests, Old Westmoreland Road links Portland toward neighboring Westmoreland. For buyers, the trade is a longer drive into the central Nashville job centers in exchange for new-construction land at the more affordable north end of the county. If your day-to-day is in Portland, Gallatin, or just over into Kentucky, the location reads very differently than it would for a daily downtown commuter — so map your own routes before you weigh it.

The homes here

The application describes a single-family, planned-unit layout of about 94 lots across roughly 27.2 acres. Beyond that, the specifics that buyers usually want — builder, home styles, square footage ranges, lot sizes, and price — have not been published, because the project has not cleared the conceptual review stage. We will not guess at any of it. When a builder is named and a price sheet exists, those are the numbers we will hold the community to.

Who it fits

This one suits the patient buyer — someone who wants a brand-new home at the north end of Sumner County and is comfortable getting in early, before models are open. A planned-unit layout typically means a cohesive, newly built streetscape rather than scattered lots. If you would rather walk a finished model and pick a move-in date this season, a community already under construction will serve you better, and we can point you to several.

What to verify before you buy here

Because this is still a proposed PUD, the due diligence is front-loaded. Worth confirming with the town and, once named, the builder:

• Approval status — whether the PUD has moved past conceptual review to preliminary and final plat approval with the Portland Municipal Planning Commission, and any conditions attached.
• Timeline — projected dates for site work, the first lots released, and the first homes delivered. Early-stage projects can shift by seasons.
• Builder and pricing — who is actually building, what home plans are offered, and the builder-published price once it exists. Until then, treat any number you hear as unconfirmed.
• Lot and density details — final lot sizes, setbacks, and how the PUD lays out streets, open space, and any common areas.
• HOA and PUD covenants — whether there is an HOA, what it costs, and the recorded restrictions that come with a planned-unit development.
• Utilities and infrastructure — water, sewer, and road improvements tied to the development, and who is responsible for completing them.

What was presented at the conceptual review

At the Portland Planning Commission's April 14, 2026 meeting, applicant Zach Wilkinson of Cornerstone Development Services presented the conceptual PUD plan for 120 Old Westmoreland Road, with landscape architect Troy Gardner walking through the site layout. As reported by Main Street Media of Tennessee (April 28, 2026), the concept calls for lot sizes ranging from about 5,000 to more than 8,000 square feet, working out to roughly 3.5 dwelling units per acre across the 94 proposed lots. This is a conceptual-stage snapshot only — layouts, lot counts, and lot sizes commonly shift before a project reaches preliminary and final plat approval, so treat these as the plan as presented in April 2026, not a finished product.

The conceptual plan also proposes roughly 34% open space (about 9.29 acres) — above the city's 20% minimum — with amenities discussed at the meeting including basketball and pickleball courts, multiple pavilions, a playground, walking trails, and a dog park, per the same report. None of this is built or guaranteed; amenity packages in early-stage plans are routinely trimmed, added to, or reworked as a project moves through engineering and approval, so we'd confirm the final amenity list against whatever is actually permitted before you count on any of it.

Access, traffic, and the questions commissioners raised

As presented, the plan shows a single access point onto Old Westmoreland Road, and a traffic study covering the Highway 52 and South Russell Street intersections was underway at the time of the meeting, according to Main Street Media of Tennessee's April 28, 2026 report. Commissioners' discussion touched on density, traffic impact, and housing variety; Vice Mayor Megann Thompson was reported noting the importance of building in character, while the same coverage noted that smaller "starter homes" can help meet local housing demand and affordability needs. This was a conceptual review only — the commission took no action, and the property will need to go through City Council rezoning at a future date before anything is final.

Get on our early-interest list

Because this project is still moving through conceptual review — with rezoning, engineering, and a builder announcement all still ahead of it — the smart move right now is simply to get in line for updates rather than trying to lock anything in. We track the Portland Municipal Planning Commission and Portland City Council agendas weekly for this parcel, so if you want the 120 Old Westmoreland Road PUD flagged the moment it clears rezoning, gets a builder, or opens a price sheet, tell us and we'll add you to our watch list for it. Call or text 615-265-1000 to get on the list — plans can and do change before groundbreaking, and we'll always confirm the current, official status with the city and (once named) the builder before you make any decision based on it.
