The Provost in Southaven

The Provost is a mixed-use development located near Nail and Getwell roads in Southaven, just one block away from the Silo Square development. The project, which broke ground in December 2022, includes 6,676 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and 92 apartments on the second and third floors.

McNeill Commercial Real Estate is the developer behind the project. McNeill is also the developer behind the Thornwood mixed-use development in Germantown.

Austin Duffie, a business manager at Fogelman Properties, said he hopes the development will become synonymous with "community, consistency, and customer service."

Duffie said that attention to detail is key at The Provost. "From the in-unit 9-foot ceilings with crown molding, to the meticulously manicured grounds made perfect for residents to enjoy their home outdoors."

What type of apartments does The Provost offer?

The Provost has one-bedroom units available starting at $1,886 per month, and two-bedroom units starting at $2,628 per month. Duffie said monthly premium services are included with the usual rental price, and include "gated, resident-only parking, high speed internet in each residence, and valet trash service, to name a few."

The Provost will have 92 individual units on its second and third floors, with floor plans ranging from 838 square feet to 1,740 square feet.

The Provost will provide many upscale amenities, which include a 24-hour fitness center, pet spa and dog park, pickleball courts and a 24-hour coffee bar.

Duffie also noted the walkability of The Provost. Besides the businesses opening on the ground floor, the property is also within close proximity to Silo Square's commercial area, as well BankPlus Amphitheater and Snowden Grove Park.

What's next for The Provost?

Duffie expects the project to be move-in ready for residents around late spring to early summer of 2024. Pre-leasing is now available for the one and two bedroom units.

Some of the commercial developments are also expected to be ready by May, though the names of the businesses have not yet been announced.
