Clarksville, TN (Now Clarksville) – After you have met repeated brick walls to tear down Joseph Dunlop's house.
Gracey General Partnership (GGP) recently presented the plans for the regional planning of Clarksville-Montgomery County, which shows a mixed development called “The Joseph”, which is essentially based on the Dunlop House.
The Joseph would consist of two four-story buildings that are connected by a bridge to an additional level of the Madison Street-in essential five floors from the side of the Madison Street. A 50,700 square meter residential building would be on the west side of the property. A 4.250 square meter of large connected retail would be the Madison Street at the front, whereby the Dunlop House remains in the center.

According to the location plans, the house would contain 92 residential units. As far as parking is concerned, there are 16 existing rooms, and 17 new rooms would be added, with 58 places also available in a sister property.
According to the location plans, the construction costs (plus country) are estimated at around 26.5 million US dollars. The projected annual taxes that were generated from the new build would increase 315,880 US dollars. Compare this with the taxes of 7,450 US dollars in 2023, and that is an increase of 4,140%.
The amenities in mixed usage development include secure access, an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor food garden, an outdoor recreation area, bicycle storage and the recycling center.
“Sustainability, affordability and history”
“We are proud to reveal our recent multi-use development project, The Joseph,” said Jennifer Willoughby, managing partner at GGP, in a statement by Clarksville Now. “The focus of this project is our commitment to sustainability, affordability, history and promotion of a lively and creative community.
“The Joseph combines living, commercial and leisure rooms in a design that prioritizes environmentally friendly construction, energy-efficient technologies and sustainable materials. With green roofs, solar power and the focus on reducing the environmental impact, this development is proof of our commitment to building a better future for our residents and the planets. “
Willoughby said that the cornerstone of the renovation is affordable, and they recognize the need for accessible lifestyle and work areas in Clarksville.
“Joseph offers a number of apartment options for a variety of budgets and at the same time offers attractive and dynamic business premises for the support of local companies. Apart from a place to life or working, Joseph is a space that promotes creativity and connection. By integrating art installations, cultural spaces and invitation areas in the municipality, we are building up an environment in which residents and visitors can come together, work together and thrive. “
Willoughby also said that Walkability was another core value in development and they are happy what the future has for its proposed mixed use development in stock. “Joseph will be a catalyst for growth, creativity, sustainability and a new standard for urban development in our community,” said Willoughby.
The proposed plans for the 517 Madison St. are discussed at the next meeting of the Common Design Review Board, which is planned for February 24.
