Mobile Home Sales in Antioch, SC

Alabama’s Najee Harris may have already secured one of the best plays of the 2019 college football season on Saturday. He caught a bit of history, too.

The junior from Antioch took a short pass from Tua Tagovailoa that could have just ended in a first down as a South Carolina defender closed in on him. But Harris wasn’t satisfied. He dispatched the safety with a right stiff-arm, sprinted 12 yards up the sideline and hurdled another defender, shook off a third tackler near the 10 and rumbled into the end zone.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Harris became the first Crimson Tide running back in the last 20 seasons with multiple receiving TDs in a game. He’s also the first Southeastern Conference running back to catch more than one touchdown in a game since Tennessee’s Alvin Kamara in 2015.

Developers and community leaders gathered today to break ground on a new Antioch shopping facility, two years after Covid-19 threw a wrench in plans for the center.

Construction has officially started on Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc.'s (NYSE: SKT) 290,000-square-foot retail complex off Exit 60 of Interstate 24. The six-building facility, which is one part of the 300-plus-acre Century Farms master development, will house around 70 stores and is more than 60% leased, Stephen Yalof, Tanger’s CEO said.

Tenants, many of which were announced today, are set to include Ralph Lauren, Nike, American Eagle Outfitters, Under Armour, Fossil, Oakley, Vera Bradley and more.

“We’re so excited,” Yalof said in an interview. “This has been a long time coming.”

Massive retail projects have slowed down nationally, Yalof said. In fact, Tanger Outlets Nashville is the company's only retail center that has broken ground in the past year.

The construction news bookends an effort that has been five years in the making. Site work was originally slated to begin much earlier, but the pandemic hit, decimating in-person retail traffic, so Tanger held off. Last month, however, the company closed on the land it needed to start building.

“Covid was a crushing blow,” Mark McDonald, one of two master developers behind the massive Century Farms project, told the Business Journal. “But we had a great partnership with Tanger, and we just stood back and said, 'this is all going to work out.'”

Steven Tanger, who was an early employee of Tanger and served as its CEO until 2021, took the stage at the construction event.

“Retail is not dead,” he said.

Tanger Outlets Nashville is expected to create 1,100 permanent jobs when it opens in fall 2023. Comparable shopping centers in the company’s portfolio regularly attract up to 8 million visitors, said Bill Oldacre, another of Century Farms’ chief developers, at the construction ceremony.

When work on Century Farms finishes out, the master development will feature an array of apartment complexes (some of which are already standing), medical buildings, a Nashville SC training facility, dining, additional retail, corporate headquarters and hotels, Oldacre said.

Antioch, which sits about 20 minutes outside downtown Nashville, was once a vibrant retail district, but has been considered blighted for more than a decade. But the area is looking toward a rebound due to projects like Century Farms, as well as Mayor John Cooper’s plans to buy and revitalize the nearby Global Mall at the Crossings, which has been vacant for years.

“There’s not a city in the country that would not trade places with Nashville right now,” Cooper said at the groundbreaking.

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.
