Experience The District

Setting a new standard in Jackson, MS

The Vision - Reimagining their hometown of Jackson

Mississippi developers and residents, Ted Duckworth, Breck Hines and the late Michael Barranco shared a vision for a mixed-use city center that would infuse Jackson with the most thoughtful design for commercial and residential offerings— where people can gather, live and do business. With a belief their hometown was prime to reemerge, these dreamers decided it was time to act. After years of planning and a lot of faith, The District at Eastover is now home to Jackson MS.
