Foley Products Company
Owner: John Blankenship
Location: Seven Oaks Business Park, Smyrna, TN
Project Delivery: Design-Build
Scope: Tenant improvements and interior build-out
The Dow Smith team completed this 5,000-square-foot interior build-out for Seven Oaks Business Park owner John Blankenship and his tenant Foley Products Company. The project included converting an empty space into a finished open-air office facility. The space features stained concrete floors, custom cabinets, and lots of glass walls and doors to allow natural light to enter the open-concept environment.
Initially, Foley Products Company wasn’t quite sure what they wanted in terms of the design and layout of the interior space. To solve this, the Dow Smith team completed some of the tenant improvements while we also constructed the shell and core of the Seven Oaks building. This meant Foley’s design phase had to be condensed so that the entire project’s timeline and budget would not be affected.
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.
