The campus plan of ONEC1TY consists of a 20 acre, mixed-use neighborhood, with pre-certification as a LEED Neighborhood Development and an occupancy strategy that will provide a center for activity and commerce in the healthcare and technology industries. The podium for the anticipated eight buildings will mix a variety of health and wellness retail concepts, with office and residential towers of varying heights providing character to the overall campus massing. Metro Council has approved a specific plan that includes structured parking, a FAR that allows for more than three million square feet if desired, within buildings with a maximum height of twelve stories. Public transit considerations include sites reserved for BRT, streetcar or rail. Approximately 7 acres of the site is designed as outdoor public spaces, including trails surrounding creeks and reservoirs that double as storm water systems.

Economic development incentives are being structured based on job creation from tenants in the campus and the private development firm leading the project is looking to other federal and state programs to lower the cost of occupancy to the community of occupants."

Hamilton Springs is the first community in Middle Tennessee that will be planned, designed and constructed as a traditional neighborhood “village” with residences and businesses centered around a train station (Music City Star). It will emphasize use of transportation modes other than cars. Hamilton Springs is located in west Lebanon on property fronted along Highway 70 and extending to Old Horn Springs Road.  

The plan for Hamilton Springs has been commended by transportation and planning officials throughout the region, noting that the project will encourage community and economic development efforts and enhance transportation infrastructure in a sustainable way. The first phase for this landmark TOD project is expected to break ground in early 2012.
