Core Development publishes its own site at corenashville.com under the shorter name Core, and what it publishes there is a development portfolio rather than a homebuilder's catalogue. Its About page states the company develops communities and neighbourhoods and names Mark Deutschmann as its founder; its project pages carry a location, an architect, a unit count and a square footage, and stop there. Its own contact block gives an address on 21st Avenue South in Nashville. There are no floor plans, no incentives, no design-centre description and no warranty program name on the pages we read, and this profile does not fill those gaps from anywhere else.
Our own records name Core Development at one community, CityBluffs, the mixed-use project on Buena Vista Pike in Nashville's Bordeaux neighbourhood. The developer's own project index does carry a City Bluffs page, so the attribution stands. What that page does not carry is a sales status, a release date or a price — and, when we read it, the neighbourhood and the unit count it printed did not match our own record either. We have not resolved which is current, so this site records that community as unresolved rather than confirmed, and the honest answer to "is it selling" is that you should ask before you plan around it.
If you are buying in a mixed-use development rather than a subdivision, the documents matter more than the model home. The condominium or homeowner-association budget, the reserve study, the declaration and master deed, the rental rules and what the ground-floor commercial space may become are all part of what you are buying, and none of them are on a developer's portfolio page.
What buying from Core Development is like
Ask for the governing documents and the association budget in writing and read them before your inspection period closes — the declaration, the bylaws, the rules, the reserve study and the most recent minutes. Ask what the ground-floor commercial space is zoned and leased for. Ask which unit finishes are included and which are options, and get the answer in writing. Order your own inspection; a unit in a new building still gets one.
Which communities does Core Development build in?
Every new-construction community on this site that names Core Development, by county — 1 in total, 1 of them recorded as selling in our own data. Status moves faster than any page does, so call us at 615-265-1000 and we will confirm what is actually releasing homesites this week.

Can I bring my own agent to a Core Development community?
The sales counselor you meet at a Core Development model works for Core Development. That is the role, and a good one knows those plans, those homesites and that build schedule inside out. What the role does not include is representing you on price, on which options are worth buying, on the lot premium, or on the terms of the builder's own contract. That is what a buyer's agent does, and in Tennessee you are generally free to bring your own to a builder community at little or no cost to you.
Timing is the part people get wrong. Most builders ask who your agent is on your very first visit, and sorting it out afterwards is an awkward conversation nobody needs. Call us at 615-265-1000 before you walk into the model and your representation is in place from the first appointment — which is also when it is worth the most, because that is when the plan, the homesite and the options are still open.
On an urban mixed-use purchase the paperwork is the product: the budget, the reserves, the declaration and the rental rules decide what the home costs you after you own it. Reading all of it with you is the job. Call us at 615-265-1000 before you write an offer and we will go through the documents together.
What Core Development publishes about itself, and where we read it
Every line on this page about Core Development came off Core Development’s own website. Here is each one with the page it came from and the day we read it, so you can check it yourself — and so you can see when a figure is old enough to be worth re-checking. Builder pricing, availability and programs change without notice.
| What the builder's own site says | Source | Read on |
|---|---|---|
| Core Development publishes its own site under the shorter name Core, and its About page opens with its own statement of what the company does:“AT CORE, WE DEVELOP COMMUNITIES AND NEIGHBORHOODS TO HELP SHAPE THE WORLD WE WANT TO SEE.” | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
| That page names Mark Deutschmann as the company's founder and describes its work as mixed-use and residential development in Nashville. | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
| Its own contact block gives the company's address as 2206 21st Avenue South, Suite 200, Nashville, Tennessee. | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
| Its own projects index linked twelve project pages when we read it, City Bluffs among them, alongside Haysboro, High View, Maslow, Six10 Merritt, Gentry Way, 12th & Paris, Werthan Mills Lofts, Twelve60 Martin, Kress Lofts, Segment and 7th & Taylor. The index states no total of its own. | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
| Its own City Bluffs page describes the project in one sentence:“City Bluffs offers residential and commercial spaces, including modern townhomes, urban flats, and ground-level retail.” | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
| That page prints a location of Inglewood, Nashville and a unit count of forty, while our own community record places CityBluffs in Bordeaux with a larger unit count. We have not resolved the difference, so neither figure is presented here as settled — ask us and we will confirm it with the developer. | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
| No sales status, no release date, no starting price, no warranty program name and no design-centre description were published on any of the pages we read. | corenashville.com | 2026-09-23 |
Sources read through 2026-09-23. Where a figure appears above it is the builder's own published wording on that date and nothing more — not an appraisal, not a forecast, and not a promise of what any home will cost today. The Will Johnson Team is not affiliated with Core Development.
