The property’s attributes make it unique not only to
the submarket, but to the Nashville market as a whole.

architectural features with modern building systems
and technology critical for operating in today’s economy.
Current systems include T-1 redundant fiber, a back-up

of-the-art HVAC system not only controls the utility costs
for the building as a whole, but also helps individual
tenants keep track of their utility usage and allows the
landlord to accommodate varying utility needs among
the building’s tenants. The 10 to 12 foot high ceilings,
flexible floor plates and architectural detail, combined
with the common area features of a chapel/auditorium
and cafeteria, create a first-rate leasing environment.

motor court make an impeccable first impression.
