Work has begun on a 15-acre Nashville SC training facility complex at Century Farms in Antioch.

Architecture and design firms Moody Nolan and Pinnacle Construction, along with District 32 councilwoman Joy Styles, joined Nashville majority owner John Ingram and CEO Ian Ayre for a groundbreaking ceremony Monday. The complex will feature three fields and a facility for the first team and staff. Nashville's youth academy will remain at Currey Ingram Academy in Brentwood.

Ayre said in June that the facility is expected to open in late 2022.

Moody Nolan and Pinnacle Construction are Black-owned firms, with Moody Nolan being the largest Black-owned and managed architectural firm in the U.S. Monday's construction kickoff added emphasis to reality for the firm's managing partner and director of Nashville operations, Brian Tibbs.

“My team and I have been anxious to kick this project into full gear, and I’m confident this training facility will be something everyone in our city can be proud of – particularly Antioch and the rich fabric of people that call this area home,” Tibbs said.

Pinnacle managing partner Michael Carter said the groundbreaking begins work on a "significant project" and for multiple reasons.

“First, this is a first for Nashville in having a project of this size and scope having a Black owner project representative, Black architect firm and Black general contractor," Carter said. "The work on this training facility is going to highlight minority-owned businesses in our city while bringing something new and wonderful to a part of our city that may not always see this type of investment come to its doorstep. I’m proud to be a part of it and hopefully ushering in a new era of construction in Nashville.”

Nashville SC continues to move forward with its 30,000-seat soccer-specific stadium at the Fairgrounds, which will debut in May 2022.

“This training facility is going to be wonderful addition to our club, players and staff, as well as the Southeast Nashville community," Ingram said. "Nashville SC is not just investing in one stadium or neighborhood. We want to be an integral part of every community in the great city we call home. Nashville SC’s commitment to embracing and working with local and minority businesses isn’t something we simply pay lip service to – it’s at the core of everything we do.”

RIDGELAND, SC (WSAV) – The Antioch Educational Center in Ridgeland helps thousands of people in rural areas of Jasper, Hampton, and Southern Beaufort County every year. Thanks to a grant, they will be aiding even more people, one ride at a time.

The agency started a decade ago with the plan to help with job placement in Jasper County.

But quickly they determined there was much more to do.

“Quickly we found out when we start over 10 years ago that there was a need more pressing than training job preparedness,” said Jackie O’Bannon, Antioch Executive Director.

That’s when the center became all-purpose.

It began providing school supplies and a study area for kids and is now the largest provider of the “backpack buddies” program in the entire Lowcountry.

The agency also helps with rent and food for those in rural areas who are in need.

There are many with an average family salary of just over $30,000.

“It is a close community and when one hurts, we all feel it,” said O’Bannon.

That hurting is especially felt when it comes to food. The need for meal and grocery help quadrupled when the Pandemic hit.

Through monthly meal giveaways and weekly food banks in four different locations, 200 people are able to put meals on the table.

“There’s no other alternative as far as I can see. Serving your fellow man is what it’s all about,” explains Clarence Brantley, a food recipient.

“It’s a great honor, it’s a blessing to have them around,” said Henrietta Hamilton. “It is given them a new day. It’s really almost words that cant describe them. They have been a great help to our community.”

17 different faith-based institutions help the agency, as well as thousands of personal donations from people, mostly from Hilton Head Island.

Thanks to those giving people, Antioch is able to provide aid to three counties all without Federal funding.

“Not a lot of community-based agencies they just focus their research on other areas,” explains Ivan Brantley. “To focus on the community and actually providing is a wonderful thing.”

The biggest need for many is affordable child care and transportation to their jobs, many of which are on Hilton Head Island.

The Community Foundation of the Lowcountry is doing its part to help Antioch with that transportation need.

The Foundation just gave the Center a $110,000 grant to buy two vans. Those vans will transport 50 people each trip, and make four trips a day to the Island.

The goal, to make it a cheaper “express route” to Hilton Head. Saving people nearly $20 a week, a large amount for someone making $300 in the same time period. A trip which will also save parents hours of travel, and get the home much faster.

“It automatically improves the quality of their lives,” said O’Bannon. “They are there to meet and greet their children, they are there to prepare meals, to help with homework, help with aging parents.”

“No one here wants a handout, everyone wants to be self-sufficient. everyone I come into contact with, no one wants to be in need, so this is a win-win situation.”

The Antioch Education Center is also part of a community Thanksgiving dinner with several local churches.

It will take place on Thanksgiving Day from 2 pm-5 pm at the Mount Carmel Baptist Church on Bees Creek road.

The hope is to give away more than 600 dinners to folks in need.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Community leaders gathered in Antioch on Wednesday to celebrate the ground breaking of Tanger Outlets Nashville.

City officials think it’s going to be the start of something new for the Antioch Community.

The six-building, 290,000-square-foot open-air outlet shopping center, located along I-24 at the Century Farms development, is slated to open in fall 2023 on a 32-acre parcel.

The outlets will be located near Hickory Hollow Parkway in the Century Farms mixed-use development site. In fact, it’s only about 12 miles from downtown Nashville.

The project was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This was not easy due to COVID it was a marathon and not a sprint. But Tanger stayed the course, They stay positive about Nashville. They stay positive about century farms," said Bill Oadacre and his partner at the firm Oldacre McDonald LLC, are shepherding the Century Farms project.

Century Farms is a 300 acre campus which will include office buildings, retail buildings, medical office buildings, a freestanding emergency room and the corporate headquarters for the Nashville SC Training Center.

Metro Councilmember Joy Styles, who represents the district where the development is being built, said several delays held up this project, so many she said people started to question if Tanger Factory Outlet would become a reality.

The company reports the area is a premier location and the cost of doing business in the area is 10% lower than the U.S. average. This will be the company’s second site in Tennessee, with the other location in East Tennessee.

Styles said some community members have expressed concerns about the new open-air outlet center possibly changing her district's affordability.

"We are very affordable, but I do think that frustration is still here with residents that are currently living in the area. Some are feeling like well, how can I stay? This is certainly something I am working on by talking to developers to find out how do we provide for individuals that want to stay. We need to be able to give them options. We can't just push them out," Styles explained.

Styles said the public will be surprised by the new outlets. She said it’s going to be the flagship for Tanger Outlets moving forward, which will include a variety of stores and entertainment options.

She said the outlets will not only be an economic driver, but it’s going to bring people back to Antioch in the same way the Hickory Hollow Mall did years ago.

Tanger Outlets Nashville will help play a role as an economic driver to Davidson County, while helping further a sense of community around the Century Farms development.

Tanger partners will employ approximately 700 jobs during construction, and the development will create approximately 1,100 full- and part-time retail and management positions upon completion.

"We cannot keep looking backwards and complaining about what happened before. New things are happening. Things that we have wanted for a long time. We have to look to the future and continue to push forward. We have to push for more things that we want to see," Styles said.

According to Styles, Tanger Outlets is also committed to investing in the community by joining nonprofits with their missions.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held at 11 a.m. and with several people in attendance including Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe, Nashville Mayor John Cooper, Councilwoman Styles, Tanger Outlets CEO Stephen Yalof, and many more.

Brands like Nike, Oakley, Vera Bradley, Levi's, Ralph Lauren, Under Armour and Puma.

Nashville's Major League Soccer club has struck a deal to buy a piece of Antioch's immense Century Farms development.

Nashville SC will build a multimillion-dollar training complex, with three practice fields and a facility with some office space, the club announced Thursday. Nashville SC is under contract to buy 15 acres of Century Farms from its developer, Nashville's Oldacre McDonald LLC.

"We took time to identify a site that worked with all of our short- and long-term objectives for the club, as well as the Nashville community," said Ian Ayre, CEO of Nashville SC. "We are confident that the Century Farms location and the broader South Nashville/Antioch community are an excellent fit."

Added Nashville Mayor John Cooper: "Nashville Soccer Club is truly embracing our city … Nashville SC is investing in one of the fastest growing areas in Davidson County and in doing so will make a direct and positive impact on the neighborhood here."

The arrival of Nashville SC marks another step forward for Bill Oldacre and Mark McDonald, the developers who are game-planning how the billion-dollar Century Farms will unfold.

Nashville SC will occupy 5% of the 310 acres comprising Century Farms. The site, into which the state is building an interstate offramp, is currently home to a six-story office building for Community Health Systems Inc. (NYSE: CYH). Other buildings in the works include apartments by Murfreesboro's TDK Cos., a Tanger Outlets (NYSE: SKT) shopping center, a mixed-use district that Oldacre McDonald will create, and more.

"Century Farms is the new gateway to Nashville from the southeast — a dynamic place for people to shop, work, live and be entertained in the heart of the diverse and growing Antioch area," Oldcare McDonald said in a statement. "Nashville Soccer Club is a perfect addition to this community and reflects the energy and caliber of neighbor that we have aspired to attract to Century Farms."

Nashville SC is privately funding the training complex. Construction is ongoing at the Fairgrounds Nashville on the club's $335 million, 30,000-seat stadium — set to open in 2022.

The club will continue training at Currey Ingram Academy while the training complex is being built. Nashville SC has not yet selected an architect or builder, said a club spokesman.

Notably, Nashville SC is the second professional sports team with an Antioch presence. Six years ago this month, the Nashville Predators opened an ice hockey facility on the opposite side of I-24, next to what used to be the Hickory Hollow Mall.

While its soccer stadium at the Nashville fairgrounds continues to be assembled, Nashville SC reached the next chapter Tuesday in the construction of its future training facility.

Nashville SC is set to announce Pinnacle Construction Partners and Moody Nolan — two Black-owned entities — as the construction and architect firms responsible for building the club's 15-acre training complex at Century Farms in Antioch.

"It's just unprecedented, because I can't think of a time that I've been here since 2002, where an opportunity like this has been provided to two firms of color," Pinnacle co-founder Michael Carter Sr. said.

The training complex is still in the design phase. Construction is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2021.

Moody Nolan and Pinnacle are prominent firms of color, and Nashville SC majority owner John Ingram said they also share the club's vision.

“Moody Nolan and Pinnacle Construction are a perfect fit to head up this project with us,” Ingram said in a club statement. “They share our vision for a training facility that will be a fantastic hub for the community and a wonderful place for our players to train.”

Carter praised Ingram and Mary Cavarra — a representative of Nashville Soccer Holdings, the ownership group of Nashville SC, calling them "courageous, intentional and progressive."

Nashville Metro Council member Joy Styles, representing District 32, said appointing Moody Nolan and Pinnacle will have a direct effect on the community in southeast Nashville, where the complex will be located.

"That's going to be amazing," Councilwoman Styles said. "But to have minorities involved in the building of this project — that also provides an opportunity for our youth to see that and see those opportunities and envision something for themselves that they might not have thought about."

Who is Pinnacle Construction Partners?

Pinnacle was founded in Nashville in 2007 by Carter and Darrell Freeman. Along with president and CEO Cordell Kidd, Pinnacle has an all-Black leadership team.

Pinnacle also is a partner on the club's soccer stadium, along with Mortenson/Messer Construction Company. In addition to the stadium, Pinnacle has overseen the $73 million project to build the Rutherford County Judicial Complex, a $95 million facility with HCA Healthcare and a $7 million deal with Belmont baseball.

The firm was founded in 1982 by Curtis Moody in Ohio and became Moody Nolan after joining Howard E. Nolan & Associates, an engineering firm, shortly thereafter. Moody Nolan has been headquartered in Nashville since 1995.

Curtis Moody serves as chairman of the board, and Jonathan Moody is president and CEO. The firm has a female executive vice president, Eileen Goodman, and a Black director of Nashville operations, Brian Tibbs.

Other local design projects include a recently constructed 220,000-square-foot residence hall on the south side Tennessee State's campus. It was also the lead architect of Terminal Garage 1 at Nashville International Airport,unveiled in June.

"Representation matters," Councilwoman Styles said. "Here you have an opportunity, not only to showcase minorities moving into an industry that you do not usually see them participating in, but also being able to put their own touch on it."
