Franklin Synergy Bank
Franchise Owner: Franklin Synergy Bank
Location: 310 West Main Street, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Project Delivery: General Contracting
Project Scope: Bank branch renovation and build-out
The Dow Smith Company team completed a new office build-out for Franklin Synergy Bank (FSB) in an historic part of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Formerly known as Midsouth Bank, FSB now occupies a unit located at 310 West Main Street in downtown Murfreesboro. Completed in Fall 2018, the project involved creating a floor plan that could accommodate the bank’s current and future needs in the available space. By the time the project was finished, we were able to provide FSB with a unique, full-service bank branch.
Our crews are familiar with 310 West Main, an historic space and local landmark built in 1925. As a result, we were presented with a challenging fit-up due to the building’s complicated construction and run-down condition. Additionally, we were working with a tight construction schedule. Ultimately, this required immense coordination with the architects, bank owners, and our estimating and project management team. Safety was also a major consideration given the building’s age and condition. Under the supervision of Field Operations Manager Gary Grisham, the project was completed safely, on time, and on budget.
Twelve years ago, when Dow Smith’s son was playing football for Smyrna High School, they walked into an opposing team’s weight room and Dow was impressed by the facility and all of the things that were available to that team’s players. But he also had a chip on his shoulder because he didn’t understand why the athletes at Smyrna High didn’t have everything they needed to be successful.
