Flournoy Development Plans Nashville Community
The developer is teaming up with longtime contracting and architecture partners for the project.
Columbus, Ga.,-based Flournoy Development Group is expanding its Tennessee footprint with the development of Declan Hermitage, a 315-unit apartment community located in Nashville’s Hermitage neighborhood. The project is slated for completion in June 2027.
McShane Construction Co.’s Nashville regional office was selected as the builder, and Dynamik Design is the architect.
The 15-acre development will comprise six three- to four-story garden-style apartment buildings. Exteriors will feature Hardie siding and stone veneers with shingled roofs, Ply Gem windows and treated wood deck balconies with aluminum railings, according to McShane. Declan Hermitage will have one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts with an average of 902 square feet. Units will have finishes including luxury vinyl-tile flooring, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
The amenity package will include a clubhouse, outdoor pool and sun deck, grill stations, fire pits, a dog park and car wash.
Ryan Foster, senior vice president at Flournoy Development Group, described Hermitage as a growing community that blends suburban tranquility with easy access to Nashville’s urban amenities. The Hermitage neighborhood is about a 20-minute drive to downtown Nashville and less than 7 miles from Nashville International Airport. The neighborhood is the home of President Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, a historic landmark and museum located about 10 miles east of downtown Nashville.

McShane Construction and Dynamik Design are also respectively the contractor and the architect for the project, which is expected to deliver in August 2026.
