NASHVILLE, TN — One of the tallest new buildings in Nashville’s Midtown district has reached its highest point. National developer Portman and Creed Investment Company recently celebrated the topping out of the Moore Building, a 16-story office tower with street-level retail. Construction is set for completion in February 2023.

The Moore Building includes 236,000 square feet of Class-A office space with 27,500-square-foot floor plates. The office tower prioritizes amenities and gathering spaces, including a sky lobby that connects to an 11,000-square-foot outdoor deck, 35-person conference room, tenant lounge, and fitness center. At the ground floor, the tower will feature 8,500 square feet of retail that spills into sidewalks.

Situated along Nashville’s Music Row, the Moore Building pays homage to Scotty Moore, the guitarist of Elvis Presley. The tower rises on the former site of Moore’s recording studio, Music City Recorders, and will incorporate original memorabilia from Elvis and Scotty. The Moore Building is in one of Nashville's most walkable and bikeable communities and offers immediate connectivity to The Gulch, Edge Hill, Green Hills, and West End.

“Inspired by the rich history and lively atmosphere of Music Row, we saw an opportunity to create a new link in Nashville’s urban core — one that blends a hospitality-infused work environment with great retail and restaurant experiences,” said Mike Greene, Vice President of Development for Portman. “Most importantly, we’re thoughtful about ensuring this project seamlessly blends with the culture and original fabric of the neighborhood, while also enhancing connectivity in and around Midtown.”

Portman is developing the Moore Building in partnership with Creed Investment Company, a local leader in urban office and retail development. Hoar Construction is the general contractor. U.S. Bank provided the construction financing for the project. The building is designed by Nashville-based architect Greshman Smith. Office leasing is being held by CBRE.

“We are pleased to partner with Portman in bringing a state-of-the-art, Class-A office development to Music Row that will set a new standard for workplace design in Nashville,” said Hoar Senior Project Manager Austin Webb. “We look forward to reaching the next milestone alongside our partners. Nashville is on the move, and we’re thrilled to expand our footprint in the area by building another thoughtfully designed project that will add to the character and charm of Midtown and the surrounding neighborhood.”
