Franklin's New Sports & Retail Hub

A massive new sports and retail complex is set to rise on Brownland Farm in Franklin, Tennessee, promising to transform the area into a premier athletic and community hub. Called “The Banks at Brownland,” the 233-acre development will feature a state-of-the-art 100,000-square-foot hockey arena with two ice sheets operated by the Nashville Predators, eleven sports fields for football, soccer, and lacrosse (with Titans and Nashville Soccer Club partnerships), and a sprawling 60-acre golf training facility with AI-powered instruction. Designed to meet the region’s growing recreational demand — including tens of thousands of annual ice rink visits — the project also includes health, wellness, and neighborhood retail, plus a unique collaboration with local nonprofits to serve the community. With a groundbreaking targeted for 2027 and official approval pending a June 29th meeting, this ambitious plan could redefine sports and community life in Middle Tennessee.
