Our Experience and Impact in Nashville

Nashville has experienced robust economic growth in recent years, outpacing other metro cities similar in size and quickly becoming one of the top 10 migration destinations and a real estate hotspot to watch. So in a market this crowded, how can developers stand out? See how NINE dot ARTS helps our Nashville partners leverage art and culture to attract and retain audiences, gain a competitive advantage, and achieve greater social and economic outcomes.

Our projects in the Music City include Tempo Hotel by HRI Hospitality right off Broadway, Vista Hotel by MCRE outside downtown, Starling Apartments by Portman Holdings in Germantown, and forthcoming public art for the Peabody Union Development by Stiles and Hensler Development Group in the new South Bank District. We’ve also been working in The Gulch neighborhood on 1111 Church Apartments and Hutton Hotel with Tidal Real Estate Partners, Kenect Apartments by Akara Partners, and exterior artwork for the new residential towers at Prima Apartments within Somera Road’s mixed-use district, Paseo South Gulch.
