In a rare offering,The Real Equity Group of Compass RE Commercial has officially listed two legacy properties in the downtown Franklin Historic District. Real Equity Group is currently calling for offers on behalf of the property’s current owner, The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County; the Team is accepting individual offers for each building as well as package offers for both properties. Situated 30 minutes from Downtown Nashville, the two listed properties are located at 112 Bridge Street and 108 Bridge Street in Franklin.
“We’re proud to list such historically significant properties that present legacy ownership opportunities,” said Jamie Brandenburg, SIOR, Commercial Real Estate Advisor with Real Equity Group. “These stunning buildings are part of an ecosystem that creates one of the most celebrated and best loved historic downtowns in America. The opportunity to own buildings such as these is exceptionally rare.”
The exterior historic architectural characteristics of the buildings are protected, to maintain the charm and history of the downtown Franklin Historic District, while still offering expansive internal adaptive reuse potential along with exceptional visibility, accessibility, and parking.
“The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County has been an incredible steward and has preserved these buildings for a long-term future. They’re now ready to serve the community in exciting new ways as generational flagship properties for future owners,” Brandenburg said.
108 BRIDGE STREET
A three-story building that is 6,604 SF and sits on 0.6 acres, the “Old, Old, Old Jail” is a legacy property that features a fully equipped commercial kitchen. It is well suited for adaptive reuse as a high-end restaurant, private club, gallery, boutique retail, office space, or civic programming. Located just steps from Main Street and the Public Square, 108 Bridge Street combines historic charm with functional flexibility and exceptional visibility.
The building sits on a beautifully landscaped lot and includes 40 marked parking spaces, an uncommon amenity in the downtown core. The interior layout supports a wide range of use cases and has been thoughtfully maintained to preserve original character while supporting modern operations.
112 BRIDGE STREET
A two-story building that is 8,089 SF and sits on 0.93 acres, the “Old, Old Jail” property was built in 1941, purchased by the Heritage Foundation in 2013, and fully restored by 2016, when it reopened as The LeHew Magid Big House for Historic Preservation. The building has since served as offices for the Foundation.
The property offers 55 marked on-site parking spaces, again, a rarity in the downtown core, and a recently renovated third floor that includes a large conference space. Its flexible layout makes it an ideal fit for a financial services firm, private equity group, technology headquarters, or an organization seeking a high-profile presence in the heart of Franklin.
Both buildings are located just steps from Main Street and the Public Square, easy walking distance to award-winning dining, shopping, and civic landmarks. Covered by the Historic Preservation Overlay, the property maintains its architectural integrity while allowing for a variety of professional uses.
