Brentwood, Tennessee-based GBT Realty has submitted plans to bring a Sprouts Farmers Market to Spring Hill, Tennessee, a rapidly growing suburb 25 miles south of Nashville.

The 23,000sq ft Sprouts will serve as the anchor at GBT’s under-construction Port Royal Marketplace, which will include 16,000sq ft for inline shops. The company is also developing three outparcels that it expects to populate with medical service, apparel, food and beverage and fitness brands upon its completion in 2027. Spring Hill is one of the fastest growing cities in Tennessee, seeing its population double from 30,000 in 2010 to some 60,000 in 2023.

The city was the site of a Saturn Corporation production facility, where the Saturn Ion and Vue vehicles were produced. In 2024, General Motors and South Korean joint-venture partner LG Solutions opened a $2.3bn Ultium Cells battery cell manufacturing facility on the property. Recently, GM re-opened its auto plant and hired 1,000 new employees.

The Brentwood, Tennessee-based developer has been involved with the development, construction, leasing and management of over $8bn of real estate totalling 40 million square feet in 31 states. Included is more than $5bn of acquisitions and dispositions, along with nine million square feet of single-tenant net lease delivered since 2012.
