1100 Broadway at Gulch Central

Gulch Central introduces a forward-thinking destination for companies, creatives, and visitors and establishes a vital retail, residential, dining, and office hub with generous green space and open plazas for an integrated urban lifestyle.

Three distinct concepts — 1100 Broadway, 1010 Broadway, and Asurion — are united as a new model for urban living. Located at a crucial intersection between Church Street, Broadway, 11th Avenue North, and the Gulch Greenway, this eight-acre district connects Downtown Nashville, the lower Gulch, and Capitol View — unifying key neighborhoods within Nashville’s urban core which have historically been divided by overpasses, railroads, and industrial development.

Amenities such as ground-floor retail and restaurant space encourage users to stroll through the site and dine al fresco while engaged in the activated and layered urban fabric. The pedestrian-focused district is integrated into Nashville’s extensive Greenway system with a twelve-foot-wide, off-street multi-use trail. Gulch Central will introduce over two-acres of dedicated green space and two new Greenway trailheads to the center of the Gulch.

1100 Broadway is a 28-story, 750,000-square-foot Class A+ office tower with 22,800 square feet of retail space and 1.4-acres of outdoor amenity space. Located at the corner of Broadway and 12th Avenue North — a historically rail-oriented area — 1100 Broadway offers a distinctive address at the former home of Nashville’s daily newspaper.

Bronze-colored panels and shading fins delineate a façade that is inspired by the column grid of the newspapers formerly printed on this site. At the ground floor, a two-story retail and office podium fronts Broadway from 11th to 12th Avenues. The movement of the two-story entry recalls the movement of newsprint through printing presses. Carved from the tower and base, gracious ground floor pedestrian spaces are protected by a generous overhang.

1100 Broadway is complemented by a 41-story, 350-unit luxury residential property. The two towers are strategically positioned as part of the Gulch Central master plan to preserve and capitalize on existing views. A residential liner along 11th Avenue activates the street while maintaining a lower-density pedestrian scale.
