Tanger Nashville Takes Home Top Honors: A Beacon of Retail Innovation!

A triumphant evening unfolded at the Omni Hotel as Tanger Outlets Nashville was declared the victor of the 2024 Excellence in Development Award, presented by the esteemed Urban Land Institute of Nashville (ULI). This prestigious recognition underscores Tanger Nashville's exceptional design, development, and profound impact on both its surrounding community and the future of retail itself.

Tanger Nashville, a visionary project by Tanger Outlets Centers and expertly constructed by Choate Construction, stood out amongst 21 remarkable nominees. Its groundbreaking design sets a new standard for excellence, demonstrating how Nashville and Middle Tennessee are spearheading the charge in innovative retail development.

"Tanger Nashville represents our vision for the future of shopping," proclaims a representative from Tanger.  "This project stands as a testament to that vision, being not only the first outlet mall but also one of the very few major shopping centers to break ground and open its doors since the pandemic."

But Tanger Nashville offers far more than just enticing brand-name shopping experiences. This transformational design celebrates the vibrant local culture and community.  Carefully curated restaurants and retail establishments highlight the unique spirit of Nashville, while sustainable features like on-site solar energy production, resource management systems, and biodiversity programs showcase a commitment to environmental stewardship.

Opened in October 2023, Tanger Nashville has emerged as a catalyst for revitalization in Southeast Nashville.  This open-air, community-focused development pulsates with life, fostering job creation, business growth, and attracting both local residents and tourists for a dynamic shopping and dining experience.  Additionally, a beautifully manicured green space, complete with a stage and screen, provides a welcoming gathering place for families and visitors, fostering a sense of connection within the heart of this rapidly growing metropolis.

Choate Construction expresses immense pride in being recognized by ULI Nashville as part of the collaborative force that brought this highly anticipated shopping destination to Tennessee.  Tanger Nashville stands as a beacon of retail innovation, a vibrant community hub, and a testament to the collective vision, expertise, and dedication of all involved.

This award is not just a recognition of past achievements; it's a powerful symbol of Tanger Nashville's enduring commitment to creating a shopping experience that is not only enjoyable, but also sustainable and deeply integrated into the fabric of the Nashville community.
