What's changing in Goodlettsville
Updated July 2026The RiverGate Redevelopment
Goodlettsville's biggest project in a generation — the former RiverGate Mall is being rebuilt into a ~$450M walkable, mixed-use district.
After more than five decades, RiverGate Mall closed on February 13, 2026, and the 57-acre property sold for about $33 million to developer Merus, which is replacing the enclosed mall with a walkable, mixed-use district. Demolition began in March 2026 at the former Sears, and early site and infrastructure work is underway, with construction continuing in phases into the early 2030s.
At full build-out, the master plan calls for roughly $450 million in total investment: about 700 apartments, 100 townhomes, and 80 independent senior-living units, plus more than 130,000 square feet of retail and dining, public green space, new streets and infrastructure, and land set aside for future bus transit. Metro's economic analysis projects the redevelopment will grow to an estimated $4.6 million a year in county tax revenue at completion.
For buyers, this is a reason to watch Goodlettsville closely. A project this size brings new housing, walkability, restaurants, and retail to the RiverGate corridor and reshapes what living near it looks like over the next several years. We track the redevelopment as it moves through its phases — ask us how it could factor into a specific street or neighborhood you're weighing.
