Paramount Tower is a 750 feet (230 m), 60 story skyscraper under construction in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Upon completion, it will be the tallest building in Nashville and the state of Tennessee. It was first announced on October 4, 2021 by long-time Nashville developer Giarratana Development.^[1] Construction began in 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2027.^[2] The building will contain 360 apartments and 140 condos for sale.^[3]

History

Background

The concept of Paramount can be traced back to 2014, when Giarratana proposed Paramount to be the tallest building in the state on 505 Church, the site of the canceled Signature Tower. Giarratana has stated that Paramount was originally named after an old local theater.^[4] The building was planned with 60 stories. This was later downsized to 45, and the building was completed and renamed to 505 in 2018.^[5] After 505's completion, Giarratana proposed another skyscraper by the name of Paramount one block west of 505 that would once again be 750 feet tall, but would add 5 stories to bring the floor count to 65.^[6]

Revival

On October 4, 2021, Giarratana revealed his plans to construct Paramount (then known as 1010 Church as a placeholder) adjacent to his five-story YMCA Downtown expansion as a 60-story residential tower with a different design and location than his original proposal from 2019. The proposal was submitted for the city to review in December of that year.^[7]

Construction

Construction is expected to start in late 2024 and finish by 2027.^[8]

Design

Paramount will possess a zigzag exterior similar to the nearby One22One Tower that reflects sunlight in multiple directions. The exterior will gradually converge into a "crown" (as described by Goettsch) made of five isosceles triangles pointing down.^[9]

The building's primary amenities are on the 9th floor, including a lounge, a fitness room, a game room, and a deck with an open air pool to accommodate the residents' needs. Several of these can also be found on the 40th floor.^[10]
