The units are designed to provide accessible, independent living with solid surface kitchen countertops for added durability, appliances with front controls and tactile operation, dimmable lighting, and high-contrast flooring and finishes. The common areas offer contrasting colors, braille signage, handrails in the corridors, braille wallpaper, and elevators with audible signals.

The joint venture team of McShane Construction Company and Ashlaur Construction successfully delivered the project after more than 120,000 project man-hours with a safety record notably better than the national average.

“We are proud to have partnered with Redwood to bring this new neighborhood to life in Crystal Lake,” commented David J. Rintz, Regional Vice President – Multi-Family at McShane. “Redwood Crystal Lake offers residents a unique combination of privacy, convenience, and upscale finishes, and we’re excited to see this build-to-rent community thrive.”

While affordable housing is a large segment of our business, the projects themselves are typically not the largest that we build. However, our employee engagement on affordable housing projects is extremely high. Employees often find personal satisfaction knowing that their project will provide a home for a community member who otherwise may not be able to afford one. This employee engagement and community give-back really helps define the culture of our company.

In 2019, we completed a residential building for New Moms, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that provides housing and support services for young moms and their children who are experiencing poverty and homelessness. While this building consisted of only 18 units and took less than a year to complete, our involvement with this organization did not end when construction was completed. In the years since, our employees have volunteered with and donated to the organization, and we have employees on New Moms’ Associate Board and Board of Directors.

Another great advantage of affordable housing projects is the opportunity to work with developers, communities, and multiple funding sources for a community good: housing individuals who need an affordable place to live.

Additionally, we look forward to partnering with minority-owned businesses, women-owned business, and community members on these projects. Involving community members in the construction of our projects not only provides them with employment, but also exposes them to a new and exciting career path.

It can easily be argued that though affordable housing developments aren’t the largest projects we build, they are some of the most impactful projects for our company. We are grateful for the opportunity to use our expertise in a way that gives back to the communities around us.

“We’re excited to kick off our latest multi-family project in the Nashville market,” shared Jason Breden, Vice President & Director of Nashville Operations at McShane. “Ellison Cool Springs is a unique mixed-use community that offers luxury living with immediate proximity to amenities, which will make it a great addition to Franklin.”

Positioned on a 34-acre site, the development features three four-story wood frame buildings along with two two-story precast parking decks and five stand-alone six-bay garages.

Residents will have access to best-in-class amenities including an outdoor pool, clubroom, fitness center, podcast/recording studio, market, hospitality bar, and focus room. Additionally, one of the stand-alone garages will integrate a pet spa and car wash.

“This new community represents a commitment to excellence and a dedication to creating spaces that enhance the overall quality of life for the city of Franklin,” said Cameron Bean, Development Project Manager for Flournoy Development Group.

Units will be offered in one- to three-bedroom floorplans with one to two bathrooms. Select two-story live-work units will allow residents to have a storefront commercial space on the first floor. All units will feature quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, tile backsplashes, luxury vinyl-tile flooring, tiled bathrooms, and glass shower doors.

“We are excited to break ground on this transformative project that will contribute to the growth and prosperity of the Cool Springs area,” commented Steve Flatt, CEO of National Healthcare Corporate, Flournoy Development Group’s partner. “FDG stands out as an exceptional partner, wholeheartedly sharing our commitment to the right blend of innovation and quality of life.”

Completion of Ellison Cool Springs is slated for August 2026. Dynamik Design is the architect.

Ellison Cool Springs is one of three projects McShane currently has underway for Flournoy Development Group. The firm is also building a 397-unit community in Charlotte, North Carolina, and a 262-unit community in Greenville, South Carolina.
