Boyle Investment Company announced the promotion of Marina Murphy to the newly created role of Director of Marketing for statewide business. Murphy has 10 years of business and marketing experience. She led marketing for Boyle’s Nashville office since joining the company in 2019. Murphy also takes over for Anne Brand, who is retiring after nearly 30 years of service with Boyle. Since joining Boyle in 1998, Brand oversaw the development and implementation of public relations campaigns and advertising for Boyle’s Memphis location.

The Boyle Investment Company announced that they have acquired the 100,000-square-foot Meridian Building. The building which is located at Meridian Cool Springs is set to feature both office and retail spaces.

Williamson County property records report the sale as $19.5 million.

“The purchase of 3000 Meridian allows us to strengthen our presence in Cool Springs, an area that continues to see tremendous growth and evolution,” said Director of Office Properties and Partner Thomas McDaniel.

Boyle Investment Company first opened their doors to its Nashville office in 2001. Since then, the Memphis-based company has rapidly expanded and now owns and manages almost four million square feet of office and retail space, as well as a projected 5 million square feet in the development and planning stages. The investment group currently owns or manages projects in communities such as Berry Farms, McEwen Northside, Meridian Cool Springs, CityPark Brentwood, and Capital View.

“As demand continues, we are proud to play a role in shaping the future of Williamson County’s dynamic business landscape,” McDaniel said.

Formerly known as the PICA Building, the building was developed by Boyle in 2009 as a build-to-suit, to be both owned and occupied by the Podiatry Insurance Company of America (PICA).

Additionally, the 60-acre mixed-use district plans to feature 70,000 square feet of specialty retail, fitness and dining options along with three onsite hotels.

The 3000 Meridian acquisition comes as Boyle invests more than $20 million into enhancements across Meridian Cool Springs, reinforcing its long-term vision for the district. Boyle recently unveiled two public green spaces within the district and welcomed a curated mix of businesses, including Little Hats Italian Market, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, Alloy Personal Training and First National Bank of Middle Tennessee.

Boyle Investment Company has announced the promotion of Marina Murphy to the newly created role of director of Marketing for statewide business. The former marketing director for the firm’s Nashville office, Murphy brings 10 years of business and marketing experience to the position.

“Marketing Boyle across the entire state is a huge opportunity,” said Jeff Haynes, one of Boyle Nashville’s founding partners. “Marina understands our business so deeply. As we strive to plan and build mixed-use communities, placemaking, programming, and marketing will be integral to differentiating our developments. Marina’s marketing acumen and creativity provide a unique edge, and we are confident that her leadership will create more effective and impactful marketing efforts for Boyle Investment Company.”

Murphy played a pivotal role in rebranding Boyle and launching its statewide marketing efforts. She had led marketing for Boyle’s Nashville office since joining the company in 2019. Her leadership has helped the Boyle brand flourish, emphasizing the company’s mission as a community builder. The marketing team has grown to four people under her guidance. In this new role, she will now also oversee marketing for Boyle’s Memphis location and build on a comprehensive, statewide marketing strategy for the company as a whole.

An established developer providing premier locations and innovative design, Boyle is known in Nashville for its dynamic mixed-use developments, including Capitol View, CityPark, McEwen Northside, Meridian Cool Springs and Berry Farms. The firm also has significant developments in and around Memphis, where it first began operations in 1933. With extensive experience in all facets of real estate from development to property management, to site selection and sales and leasing, Boyle Investment Company creates well-planned community-oriented environments.

A prominent local real estate shop added to its Cool Springs portfolio with the purchase of an office building the firm developed.

Boyle Investment Co. paid $19.5 million for the 3000 Meridian Building in the Meridian Cool Springs development, according to Williamson County records. The purchase of the building consolidates Boyle’s ownership of the larger development which is undergoing millions in renovations as office activity wavers.

Boyle now owns the 100,000-square-foot building, formerly known as the PICA building, which it developed in 2009. Boyle developed the space for Podiatry Insurance Company of America (PICA) to be both owned and occupied by the insurance company, according to a release.

In 2009, ProAssurance bought PICA and the company has gradually relocated its operations to Birmingham, Alabama, leading PICA to sell the building to Boyle, according to the release.

Boyle is the developer of the larger Meridian Cool Springs development which contains 60 acres and features 70,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, as well as three hotels.

“The purchase of 3000 Meridian allows us to strengthen our presence in Cool Springs, an area that continues to see tremendous growth and evolution,” Thomas McDaniel, director of office properties and partner at Boyle, said in the release. “As demand continues, we are proud to play a role in shaping the future of Williamson County’s dynamic business landscape.”

The purchase comes as Boyle is investing more than $20 million into enhancements across the development, recently finishing two public green spaces and welcoming new tenants like Little Hats Italian Market, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream and more.

The “flight to quality” trend has become increasingly prevalent with office tenants having a strong preference for buildings with loads of amenities. Office properties that are older, even by just a decade, will have to be renovated in order to keep up.

“You have to figure out how to adapt the buildings that are 1980s buildings. It took a lot of pain … but we were able to adapt those. It does take a lot of investment from the standpoint of the owner. If you have what the user wants, it’ll get leased, people will pay for it and the rest keep going up,” McDaniel previously said on a Business Journal panel. “But if you miss it by just a little bit, you’re dead. There’s 10 of you out there, so then it’s just a race to the bottom on which of the 10 want to charge the lowest rent.”

Last year, Boyle bought another Cool Springs office building, The McEwen Building near Boyle’s other Cool Springs development, for $48.57 million.

The McEwen Northside community is celebrating a construction milestone with the topping out of the district’s latest addition, Block E, a 300,000-square-foot, $125 million project at the popular mixed-use district.

A community celebration was held on Thursday, July 18, 2024, marking the completion of the structural phase of the nine-story building. Those who live, work, and play at the 45-acre urban district in the heart of Cool Springs celebrated the building’s tremendous progress alongside Boyle Investment Company, Northwood Investors, Northwood Ravin and their construction partners. Community members were invited to sign the building’s final construction beam before enjoying an ice cream and toppings bar.

“This new building plays a crucial role in our vision to cement McEwen Northside’s position as the leading mixed-use district in Williamson County,” said Phil Fawcett, Boyle Managing Partner. “With Block E, the district will reach 80% completion, and we’re thrilled to introduce the community to the diverse office tenants and exciting dining and retail additions that will call this state-of-the-art structure home.”

Adjacent to McEwen Northside’s iconic Central Park, Block E features dynamic office spaces above sought-after retail storefronts and eateries on the ground floor. Popular upscale clothier Oak Hall, nationally recognized architects TMPartners and leading supply chain company Designed Conveyor Systems have previously been announced as tenants. A multi-level parking garage connected to the amenity-rich building via a covered walkway will provide more than 900 free parking spaces for visitors and employees.

Boyle Investment Company, Northwood Investors, and Northwood Ravin are partnering with Northwestern Mutual, TMPartners, Kimley-Horn and Hoar Construction to make the large-scale project a reality.

Nashville Italian-Style Market and Deli Sets Sights on Williamson County

FRANKLIN, Tenn. (5/22/2024) – Little Hats Italian Market – a beloved Italian-style market and deli in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood – will bring its gourmet sandwiches, housemade pastas and imported Italian specialties to Williamson County this fall as it opens a new location at Meridian Cool Springs, the popular mixed-used district conveniently situated off of I-65.

Little Hats will join Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream at the highly anticipated new 990 Meridian Boulevard location, currently being built at the entrance to Meridian Cool Springs off of Carothers Parkway. The two eateries will be connected by an expansive green space, providing Meridian Cool Springs professionals and visitors with an inviting area to gather, steps away from the district’s Class A office buildings, three on-site hotels and other restaurant and retail offerings.

“There’s a lot of intention behind each addition to Meridian Cool Springs,” said Mark Traylor, Director of Retail at Boyle. “Little Hats is such a unique offering, and will not only enhance the onsite experience for those who work within the district but also deliver a new and distinctive dining concept to the greater community.”

Construction is happening now on Little Hats’ 4,700-square-foot full-service restaurant, Handel’s 1,400-square-foot jewel box building and their shared 5,000-square-foot public green, which will be activated as early as this summer with events for the Meridian Cool Springs community.

Known for their handmade pasta and sandwiches, Little Hats’ menu boasts traditional Italian dishes like Bolognese & Pappardelle and Cacio e pepe alongside everything from Mortadella muffulettas and meatball subs to cannolis, tiramisu and ricotta cheesecake. Their market offers some of the very best cheeses, meats and Italian specialty food items curated from renowned producers.

“Our passion for good food and a welcoming atmosphere is at the heart of everything we do,” said Andrew Dodd, Operating Partner of Little Hats “We’re excited to bring the delicious dishes and curated goods that our customers know and love to Meridian Cool Springs, a location that echoes our love for the community.”

The addition of Little Hats Market marks a continued collaboration between Boyle Investment Company and Nashville-based restaurant group Fresh Hospitality. Seven of the group’s popular restaurant brands call Boyle properties home, including Biscuit Love and Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe at Boyle’s Berry Farms property in Franklin and 55 South and Waldo’s Chicken & Beer at Boyle’s CityPark property in Brentwood.

“In partnering with Fresh Hospitality to bring sought-after concepts like Little Hats to our properties, we’re able to appeal to the wide-ranging interests of customers and diversify the eating and gathering spots available to the local communities we’re proud to be a part of,” said Grant Kinnett, VP of Retail at Boyle.
