BrickTop’s to Open in Southside at McEwen
Nashville, Tennessee – BrickTop’s and Southern Land Company, a full-service, nationally recognized mixed-use development company, have jointly announced that McEwen will soon be home to BrickTop’s – a restaurant offering classic American cuisine. The groundbreaking is scheduled for February 2011, with an opening tentatively scheduled for Summer 2011.
BrickTop’s will occupy a key free standing location in the recently announced 40,000 square foot Southside at McEwen retail development and will be located next to a 45,000 square foot Whole Foods grocery (opening spring 2011). In addition to the Southside at McEwen, the overall McEwen development currently consists of the 6-story 175,000 square foot McEwen office building and Dwell, a 258-unit high-end apartment community.
Cool Springs will be the fifth location for the highly successful restaurant company. Other locations include Nashville, Charlotte, Naples, and Atlanta. In addition to Cool Springs, BrickTop’s will be opening another restaurant this fall and will continue its expansion into 2012 with a site in downtown Coral Gables.
“We are thrilled to make this announcement,” said Paul Neuroth, SVP of leasing for Southern Land. “We feel very fortunate that BrickTop’s has chosen McEwen as its next location – a restaurant that we believe will be extremely well received by the Williamson County market.”
“McEwen is a great location for BrickTop’s,” said Aileen McCormick, the company’s Chief Financial Officer. “There is already a lot of energy surrounding the project; it’s easy to access; and we will be a unique restaurant in the market. We’re looking forward to breaking ground and getting the project underway.”
BrickTop’s will consist of approximately 7,200 square of interior space, and 1,500 square feet of outdoor patio dining. The restaurant will feature a full bar and a menu that includes cheeseburgers, rotisserie chicken, fresh salads, steaks, flatbread pizzas, signature deviled eggs, artichokes, and fresh fish entrees…all provided in an atmosphere that is casual, warm and friendly.
The location in McEwen provides convenient access to some of the largest employers in Williamson County including Mars, Nissan, Healthways, Verizon, Community Health Systems, Renal Advantage, and hundreds of other companies, organizations, and retail outlets.
Adding to the exciting development in the area is Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which purchased 22 acres of land just across Interstate 65, at the corner of McEwen and Carothers Parkway, and plans to build a large medical center with outpatient facilities, doctor’s offices and specialists.
In addition, a brand new 340-room Drury Plaza Hotel is opening soon, just across Mallory Lane from the BrickTop’s location.
“BrickTop’s will be a magnet for business professionals,” said Neuroth. “It’s ideal for working lunches, happy hour, and entertaining business guests over dinner. It will drive a great deal of traffic.”
