The Avenue Murfreesboro
shopping mall
The Avenue Murfreesboro is an open-air regional lifestyle shopping center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, located 27 miles (43 km) southeast of downtown Nashville. More than one hundred stores reside within the complex.
Construction of The Avenue began in July 2006, and the first phase of development opened on October 17, 2007, with 660,000 square feet (61,000 m2) of retail space available. A second phase completed the center with a total of 811,000 square feet (75,300 m2) at US$140 million.
The Avenue was jointly developed and operated by Cousins Properties and Faison Enterprises; however, in August 2013 The Avenue was sold to Houston-based Hines Global REIT Inc. for US$163 million. This was a record price for an open-air, non-mall in Tennessee.
As of June 30, 2013, eighty-five percent of the space had been leased.

Why this record matters
“The Avenue Murfreesboro” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Avenue, Murfreesboro and shopping provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7715023. Authority coordinates are 35.858, -86.445. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
