ECI Group, an Atlanta-based multifamily owner and developer, has announced the opening of The Columns on Main, a 310-unit luxury apartment community in the rapidly growing Spring Hill, TN area outside of Nashville. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, the community is approximately 30% leased less than three months after opening the first building, vastly outpacing expectations. The Columns on Main was constructed by ECI Construction. Equity was provided by Marble Capital LP with construction financing by KeyBank.
“We are thrilled with the response to The Columns on Main,” said ECI Capital President, James “Jimmy” Baugnon. “Our approach to this project, located in one of the fastest growing submarkets in the Nashville area, was to accomplish a lifestyle-centric luxury community with an abundance of local charm. Our strategy to build enduring communities in areas with strong job growth and household formation underlies the success of this property.”
