Twinning Station: La Vergne Planners Take Up 938-Unit Waldron Road Project Sept. 29

The Twinning Station mixed-use development on Waldron and Blair roads returns to the La Vergne Planning Commission on Tuesday, Sept. 29, now at about 89 acres with 938 homes, a grocery store, retail and office space.

One of the largest proposed developments in northern Rutherford County is back on the agenda. Twinning Station, a mixed-use project along Waldron and Blair roads in La Vergne, returns to the La Vergne Planning Commission on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Board Room, 5093 Murfreesboro Road.

Update, Oct. 9: The rezoning is listed again as old business on the planning commission's Oct. 13 workshop agenda (5:30 p.m.), which sets up items for the Oct. 27 regular meeting. The updated staff report in that packet says all previous engineering comments have been addressed. It also says sewer is available but that the city can currently provide 20% less than the developer requested, and that developer-funded off-site sewer work could be needed before the final 20% of the project is built. The minutes of the Sept. 29 meeting had not been posted yet.

Where the Project Stands

The planning commission deferred the request on Aug. 25, according to the draft minutes in the Sept. 29 meeting packet. It returns as old business, now listed at about 89 acres, down from the roughly 110 acres listed on the August agenda.

The request would rezone the land from R-1 and PDR R-3 to PDR R-3 (Planned Density Residential). The commission's vote is a recommendation to the La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen, which makes the final decision. A board hearing date has not been set.

What Twinning Station Would Include

According to the city staff report for the Sept. 29 meeting, the third version of the plan shows:

• 938 residential units
• 142,000 square feet of retail
• A 54,000-square-foot grocery store
• 30,000 square feet of office space
• About 2 acres set aside for a future fire station

The developer's rezoning plan in the same packet describes a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, multifamily buildings and a for-rent active-adult (55 and older) community of 15 townhomes, 35 villas and 170 apartments, with about 25% of the site set aside as open space. The plan says Twinning Station will, at its own expense, install a light at the main intersection on Waldron Road across from Snowdrop Avenue, and it describes Waldron Road becoming a three-lane road.

The land is owned by Twinning Station Partners LP, and Equitable Property Company LLC is the applicant.

Open Questions From City Staff

The staff report, reviewed by City Planner Bo Logan, City Engineer Gary Lide and Utility Engineer Scott Tatalovich, lists items still outstanding:

• Updated stormwater calculations and an updated traffic study
• Water and sewer are available, but availability letters had not been issued
• Staff says the active-adult portion of the plan "is still not correct"
• Engineering asks that the fire station site be relabeled "Public Use" throughout the plans

How Big Is That?

The number of homes has changed with each version of the plan: 614, then 877, then 987 in the August staff report, with 938 in the developer's own unit table and in the September staff report. For context on how fast the area is growing, see the Murfreesboro population guide and the Murfreesboro real estate guide.

How to Weigh In

The planning commission meets the last Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Board Room, 5093 Murfreesboro Road, with a workshop two weeks earlier at 5:30 p.m. Agendas and packets are posted on the city's CivicClerk portal.
