After sitting quiet for years, the former Starwood Amphitheatre site in Antioch is finally making a move. On March 13, 2026, the residential portion of the long-dormant property at roughly 65 acres was quietly listed for sale, putting the housing piece of a larger redevelopment on the open market. The listing carves out the neighborhood segment of the site, which has been vacant since the amphitheater shut down and was later demolished.
According to the Nashville Business Journal, Cushman & Wakefield has been tapped to market the for-sale residential tract on behalf of the site’s owners. The publication reports that this move formally separates the for-sale housing component from the rest of the master plan, which still includes business-park acreage aimed at industrial or logistics users. Local builders and home developers are being invited to sift through offering materials and the city’s entitlement history as part of the marketing push.
Development plan details
The residential offering is pitched as one piece of a larger mixed-use vision. The plan calls for about 174 townhomes and 61 single-family homes, plus roughly 25,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial space and up to 500,000 square feet reserved for a business park or light industrial campus, per CRE MarketBeat. If it moves forward as described, the for-sale housing would likely become the first visible phase of what is expected to be a multi-year redevelopment.
The property is commonly identified as 3839 Murfreesboro Pike in Antioch and is shown in city planning documents as roughly 65 acres. Recent staff reports and plan amendments have been steering the project through Metro’s zoning and review process, according to Metro Nashville. Those city materials lay out a trail of earlier proposals along with the specific-plan zoning that underpins the current offering.
What the community wants
Developers know they are building on a site with some deep local nostalgia. At recent public meetings and outreach sessions, they emphasized parks, a pavilion and a “Starwood tribute trail” as ways to preserve the property’s musical memory while adding everyday neighborhood amenities, as reported by Nashville Scene. Project backers say the mix of for-sale homes, retail and an events-oriented open space is meant to knit the parcel back into the surrounding community after years of inactivity.
Market context
The sizable business-park component is not an accident. It reflects broader demand for logistics and industrial space in the Nashville market, where industrial vacancy has stayed tight and leasing activity has been strong, according to Cushman & Wakefield MarketBeat reports. That backdrop helps explain why the master plan pairs for-sale housing with a flexible industrial and business campus instead of going all-in on residential density…
