Property Description

Discover the Historic Joines/Bryant Building, one of Downtown Franklin's most iconic and substantial commercial properties. Spanning half a city block and offering an extraordinary blend of history, scale, and modern adaptability, this two-story landmark delivers a level of space and flexibility rarely found in the region. Whether you're expanding an established enterprise, creating a multi-tenant investment hub, or envisioning a signature headquarters, this property is ready to meet the scope of your ambition. With 24,574 sq ft of finished, heated space plus an additional 6,079 sq ft of unfinished basement, the Joines/Bryant Building provides incredible room for offices, studios, retail, co-working, light production, wellness uses, creative businesses, or a mixed-use buildout. Its location, right in Franklin's core business district, places you steps from restaurants, shops, festivals, and pedestrian traffic, ensuring exceptional visibility and convenience for employees, clients, and customers alike. The main structure at 228 E Palmer offers 20,122 sq ft of elegantly updated, furnished, split-level workspace. Features include an elevator, multiple lobbies, impressive glass-front offices, original refinished hardwood floors, numerous conference rooms, kitchenettes with appliances, water fountains, 12 total bathrooms, and abundant storage. Multiple HVAC systems deliver efficient climate control throughout. Much of the office furniture conveys at no additional cost, creating a turnkey opportunity for immediate occupancy. Connected to the main building is 208 E Palmer, an additional 1,434 sq ft suite with its own portico-style private entrance. Its layout allows for effortless separation or integration, making it ideal for a private practice, boutique retail storefront, dedicated client wing, or independent tenant.
Rounding out the property are 226 and 224 E Palmer, totaling 3,018 sq ft. Both units are currently leased to stable tenants, providing immediate income and strengthening the investment profile for owner-users and investors alike.
Operationally, the property is exceptionally well equipped: 13 HVAC units, a diesel generator with a double-walled 250-gallon tank, multiple upgraded systems, extensive wiring, and direct adjacency to a city parking lot that ensures easy access for staff and visitors. The building's size, infrastructure, and layout options make it one of the most versatile commercial assets in Franklin. This is a rare chance to acquire a proven, adaptable, income-producing building with historical character and modern capability, all in a high-demand location. Properties with this level of scale, flexibility, and presence seldom come to market.
