Headed south on Nolensville Road, just past the new Village Green Publix development, you’ll notice a section of land with planted trees and poured roadways. This land is actually an entirely separate development from Publix, it’s Greenbrook South.
Greenbrook South and Greenbrook North
To give a bit more background, Greenbrook South is a sister development to Greenbrook North. Greenbrook North is the mixed-use development on the corner of Rocky Fork and Nolensville Road that houses local favorites including Cabos, Oh My Chives, Mad for Galbi, Nolo Sol, and more. Behind the commercial portion of Greenbrook North, there are multiple townhomes currently used as rentals.
Understanding Greenbrook North provides helpful context for what to expect at Greenbrook South. The plans filed with the county indicate a similar layout with a mix of commercial and residential spaces. Current plans show a commercial building along Nolensville Road, with residential buildings also fronting Nolensville Road and extending toward Mill Creek. That said, there are notable differences, particularly in the residential offerings.

The Builder and Residential Opportunities
As it stands today, Greenbrook South spans 15.9 acres and will feature 78 residential units along with 13,000 square feet of commercial space—just 2,000 square feet less than the total commercial space planned for Fairington, the Westhaven-inspired community in Nolensville. The Greenbrook South residential offerings include 42 attached single-family homes with single-car garages and 36 detached single-family homes with two-car garages.
Rentals or Residences? The Future of Greenbrook South
Will the residential opportunities at Greenbrook South be for sale or for rent? Time will tell. Based on memory—with no source to confirm—Greenbrook North was initially expected to offer for-sale residential opportunities. Instead, all units are currently held by an LLC, including the developer (Grandview Eight, LLC), and are used as rentals.
This decision sparked some controversy in Nolensville, with many referring to the development as ‘glorified apartments.’ The criticism stems from the fact that the property was zoned for mixed-use residential and commercial purposes, not apartments. By retaining ownership of all units and leasing them as rentals, some residents feel the developer effectively skirted zoning expectations, creating a situation that doesn’t align with the original intent for the area.
Beyond the potential bait-and-switch, some residents expressed disappointment at the missed opportunity to create a unique development that would naturally integrate with Nolensville’s historic district. It will be interesting to see if the developer has taken this feedback into account for Greenbrook South.
Amenities
(Source: Link)
Greenbrook South will offer more shared amenities than North, including a neighborhood pathway, picnic tables, a fire pit, grills, and open space. Perhaps the most intriguing “amenity” is that there is a planned roadway to connect the development directly to Publix. This roadway will make Greenbrook South one of the most walkable communities in town, connecting homes to shopping, dining, recreational trails, and our future Publix.
Schools and One Gotcha
School zoning is yet to be established for Greenbrook South. The development is in Williamson County and will be zoned to Nolensville Williamson County Schools.
As far as a gotcha, there is one worth mentioning. The new homes will back right up to the 100-year floodplain (outlined in purple above) with Mill Creek running behind. The floodplain clearly ends before reaching any residential building, although there is some overlap with sidewalks. Also, if the residential units mimic North, there will be no residential living space on the first floor which should add an additional buffer of protection to anyone choosing this neighborhood as their home.
What’s the latest update on the project?
You may have noticed the property has been sitting in it’s current state for a least a couple of years. There were rumors circulating in town that the developer delayed moving forward to observe the outcome of the Publix development.
After speaking with the developer in March 2026, we can confirm that rumor to be false. He shared that the reasons for the delay are purely economical and that we we would see progress (buildings going up) this spring.
He could not provide renderings of what the homes and building might look like, nor did he respond to whether or not the units would be rentals or for sale.
Time will tell, and of course, we will keep you updated as things progress.
What do you think, will this be a hit, or are we getting more of the same? Let us know your thoughts.
