I just have to guess that the tenant's company's first name starts with a A....Not Amazon or Apple but something local...

I called it if it is Asurion. Maybe someone read my post.

That type of move would also free up the parking lot they're using along KVB for development.  A win-win!

I dont see it happening. Asurion is not the type of company that is going to spend 40 plus a sq ft.

Probably, too small and a long shot, but if we are playing a game...Ascend?

I wouldn't be so sure. All insurance companies (even those who insure gadgets) have deep pockets and love monuments of their strength just  as banks do, especially when they need space and want to stay in a particular area.

I hope it is Asurion... so they can vacate that little building they have at 2nd & KVB which/ can be developed into a 700 footer.

[urbanplanet17 463]

The poster did say "lessees," so it's very much possible that if Asurion is in fact a lessee, they wouldn't be the only (or even primary) tenant. It was just awfully convenient for them to announce the desire to consolidate their operations when this project began moving forward, thus I thought it was a perfect match. 

But really, I have no idea. Just speculating.

I think a dark horse as a major tenant for this building could be a large London-based company, like Barclays, EMI, or some sort of healthcare company. The BA flight is probably opening a lot of English eyes to Nashville, and it’s only a matter of time before more serious economic links are made because of it. With the visibility and location of this tower, it would make quite a splash for a newcomer English company.

Sorry gang.  It’s not Asurion.

Could AT&T be looking for new digs?

[Pdt2f 1990]

Ascension healthcare? They recently purchased St. Thomas and they’re considering merging with another large Catholic hospital group that would make them the largest private hospital operator in the country (overtaking HCA).

Auto zone...it will be a 35 story autozone with car/service bays on the top 25 floors which will sit on top of 10 stories of parking.

Gotta be a combo Amazon / Apple duo-HQ deal.  This will be the first of 40+ towers from the duo...all being 500'+. 

[donNdonelson2 2324]

Bank of AMERICA’s logo atop that structure would give that institution a higher profile in Music City!

Adelphia!  Yeah that's definitely it.

[e-dub 657]

you guys really took this A thing and ran with it, lol.

Got a glimpse of the atrium my friend mentioned in one of the slideshow shots. Cool building & hope they start soon.

How realistic is this project?

Per some of the posts from earlier, they already have tenants lined up and parking has stopped on the site.

So it's just a matter of time.

Not many are positive that this one will happen outside the few people selling it.

[Dale 833]

^ Seemingly conflicting prognostications.

 

[troyboytn 126]

Love it! Will be a great addition if comes to fruition.

Seems like they would be the ones who know best. It wouldn’t make sense for them to BS about having tenants lined up if they didn’t actually have them, it would just scare away real potential tenants. Plus they’d probably keep the surface lot open if they didn’t have upcoming plans.

Have you ever heard the name Alex Palmer?
