After years of on-again, off-again plans, construction crews are finally moving dirt in Madison. Samaroo Development Group, Bronte Development Group and Goodpasture Christian School have officially broken ground on the long-delayed mixed-use project known as The Hub at 607. The Saturday ceremony launches a roughly $34 million first phase that will bring apartments, ground-floor retail and office space just west of the Goodpasture campus, breathing new life into a project that has lingered on planning lists for years.
Who is building it and what it will cost
As reported by the Nashville Business Journal, Samaroo Development Group and Bronte Development Group have teamed up with Goodpasture Christian School to get The Hub at 607 out of the planning stage and into the ground. The first phase carries a price tag of about $34 million and will be led by the two development firms in partnership with school leadership.
What is coming in the first phase
Developer materials describe the initial phase as a four-story residential building with 115 units, covered parking, a pool and pet-friendly amenities. Plans also call for ground-floor retail and office space, putting everyday services and workplaces directly under the new apartments.
Samaroo Development Group lists The Hub at 607 as part of its Madison portfolio, while Bronte Development Group presents the site as a pre-construction, fully entitled multifamily infill project.
Where it sits and why it took so long
The Hub is planned for 607 W. Due West Avenue in Madison, immediately west of Goodpasture Christian School’s campus at 619 W. Due West Avenue. For years, market pipeline reports have tracked a Hub-at-607 proposal, listing a 115-unit, prospective development in Nashville construction pipeline documents and reinforcing its reputation as a long-stalled effort.
Berkadia has included the property in past Nashville development listings, while Goodpasture’s site confirms the school’s Madison campus location next door to the project site.
Timeline and what comes next
Developer materials put the construction schedule for the first phase at roughly 18 to 24 months once work is fully underway, with the team emphasizing a quick, amenity-forward delivery for the initial residential building.
As the project progresses, planners and neighbors will be keeping an eye on traffic patterns, parking arrangements and retail leasing plans, watching to see how The Hub at 607 fits into Madison’s existing neighborhoods and whether it delivers on its long-promised mix of housing and local amenities.
