List of tallest buildings in Nashville
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nashville is the capital and largest city in the U.S state of Tennessee, with a metropolitan area of 2.2 million people. Nashville is home to 41 buildings (one of which is under construction but topped as of May 2026) with a height of 300 feet (91 meters) or greater as of mid-2026. Four of those towers are taller than 492 feet (150 m). The tallest building in the city (and the state) is 333 Commerce, formerly and still commonly known as the AT&T Building, which rises 617 feet (188 m) in downtown Nashville and was completed in 1994.[1]However, a 750-foot (228.6 m) tower called Paramount will assume the title of the tallest building in Nashville and Tennessee upon its 2028 construction completion. Since the early 2010s, Nashville has been undergoing an unprecedented skyscraper boom, as 26 high-rises were built from 2009 to 2025.[2]

High-rise buildings first appeared in Nashville with the construction of the 12-story First National Bank Building (now the Downtown Courtyard Hotel) in 1905.[3] The city's skyline remained short until the completion of the modernist Life & Casualty Tower in 1957.[4] At 409 ft (125 m), it was much taller than any other building in Nashville at the time. From the 1970s to the mid-1990s, the city added several office and hotel skyscrapers downtown.[5] In 1994, 333 Commerce was completed. It is still commonly known today as the "Batman Building" due to its appearance.[6]
The 2010s and 2020s saw a construction boom in downtown, notable high-rises of which include the second, third, and fourth tallest buildings in the city, those being Four Seasons Hotel and Residences 505, and The Pinnacle at Nashville Yards respectively.[7] Downtown's most significant development is Nashville Yards, a 19-acre mixed-use development consisting of several high-rises, including two developed by Amazon.[8][9] Construction on Paramount Tower began in 2025; it is expected to be complete in 2028, surpassing 333 Commerce as Nashville's tallest building at 750 ft (229 m).[10]
Most of Nashville's high-rises are located in downtown, west and southwest of the Cumberland River that runs through heart of the city. Before the 2010s, the core of the skyline was found north of Broadway and east of Rosa L Parks Boulevard; since then, the skyline has expanded southwards and westwards. The Gulch, on the southwestern segment of downtown, has been dramatically transformed by new development.[11] The skyline has also extended past Interstate 40 into Midtown. The two-tower Broadwest development, completed in 2022, are the tallest buildings located in Midtown, which also offers multiple buildings standing 200 to 300 feet tall.
