Hendersonville is a historic city, and Fairmont Heritage Place The Cedars is just two blocks from historic Main Street with its many restaurants.

Most owners at Fairmont Heritage Place The Cedars will likely use their residence as a second home. However, there are no living restrictions. Owners can live there year-round. They’ll also have the option of participating in the onsite rental program to generate revenue that defrays the costs of ownership. Another option is to use Airbnb and similar platforms to rent out the residence themself, although they must follow certain restrictions to be set by Fairmont.

Demolition on the existing structures will take place later this year. Then construction on Fairmont Heritage Place The Cedars will begin in 2023 on the two new residence buildings, which should be complete by early 2025.

The units will include an array of studios, one- to three-bedroom residences, and penthouses. Prices start in the low $400,000s and go up to $3.92 million for the largest penthouse.
