Baker Donelson law firm has signed a multi-year lease and will move its Nashville office in 2021 to Broadwest, the new urban, mixed-use community rising in Nashville’s vibrant and expanding core.
Baker Donelson will occupy about 70,000 square feet of Class AA space in the top three floors of the 21-floor office tower being built on a full city block at 1600 West End Avenue, Nashville. Broadwest is being developed by Propst Development.
Baker Donelson ranks among the 70 largest law firms in the country and is the fourth largest law firm in Nashville. The firm's Nashville office, currently located at 211 Commerce Street, includes 100 lawyers who assist legal and public policy clients in many legal services areas, with particular strengths in the health care, corporate and securities, litigation, and economic development sectors.
"Broadwest will provide our team members a highly efficient and sustainable office environment in a premier location," said Brigid Carpenter, Baker Donelson managing shareholder. "Our attorneys, staff and clients alike will appreciate the modern office space, easy access to transportation corridors, ample secure parking, on-site amenities and nearby restaurants."
Designed by Cooper Carry architects, the Broadwest office tower is being built to LEED's high standards and will feature a two-story atrium lobby, stunning 10-foot, floor-to-ceiling vision glass, flexible floor plans, 10 high-speed destination dispatch elevators and a dedicated freight elevator. The office tower also will have 24-hour on-site security.
Rising next to the office tower is a 34-story tower with the 196 elegantly appointed Residences at Broadwest condominiums, anchored by a 14-floor luxury Conrad Nashville by Hilton. The two towers will be connected by an additional 125,000 square feet of retail and creative office space, with a 1.5-acre pedestrian friendly plaza at the heart of this new community. Broadwest will also have a 2,500-plus-space parking deck.
"When we envisioned the office tower at Broadwest, Baker Donelson is exactly the type of tenant we had in mind," said Chris Brown, principal with Propst Development. "We're delighted this Nashville market leader selected our community for its new home and are excited to work with them to create an energetic and welcoming work environment."
