Paramount Nashville: The Tallest Tower in Tennessee

Paramount Nashville: Inside the 750-Foot Tower Becoming Tennessee's Tallest Building

Nashville's skyline is about to get a new crown. Paramount Nashville, the 60-story tower rising at 1010 Church Street, will stand 750 feet tall when it opens in 2028. That makes it the tallest building in Tennessee, beating the AT&T "Batman" Building by more than 130 feet.

I'm Jason Lee, a Nashville Realtor, and I get asked about this tower almost every week. Here's what buyers, renters and curious locals should know right now.

How tall is Paramount compared to the rest of Nashville?

At 750 feet, Paramount tops the 617-foot AT&T Building, which has held the title of Tennessee's tallest since 1994. It will also rise more than 200 feet above its neighbor, Pinnacle Tower. Developer Tony Giarratana has said Paramount's 43rd floor lines up with the top of Pinnacle.

The site has a skyscraper story of its own. Giarratana once planned Signature Tower, a 1,000-foot building, on this same corner before the 2008 recession stopped it.

The design: slim glass with an art deco nod

Chicago firm Goettsch Partners designed Paramount as a slender glass tower placed to open up views on every side. Each floor carries roughly 96 glass panels. The name comes from the founding of Paramount Pictures, and the tower includes subtle art deco touches as a tribute.

The standout feature is a glass-bottomed swimming pool that cantilevers out over the street, held up by two exposed steel girders. Expect it to be one of the most photographed spots downtown.

Condos and apartments: what's inside

Paramount mixes for-sale and for-rent homes in one building:

• Condominiums (levels 41–60): 140 luxury residences across 11 floor plans, sold by Giarratana Condominiums.
• Apartments: 360 rental units on the lower residential floors, starting around level 10. Some may convert to condos later.
• Parking: About 500 spaces below the residences.

Paramount condo prices

Presale listings on the Nashville MLS in 2026 show a wide range. Two-bedroom homes start around $3 million for about 1,960 square feet. Three-bedroom homes run roughly $4.45 million to $9 million. A four-bedroom, 4,651-square-foot residence on level 58 is listed at $14 million.

Monthly HOA dues on current listings run about $1,460 to $3,060. Several listings have seen price increases since presales began, so today's numbers may not last.

Amenities at Paramount Nashville

Residents share an amenity level on floor 9. Condo owners also get a private amenity floor on level 40, which includes:

• A lounge and bar with a 23-foot ceiling
• A fireplace room and lounge
• A 25-seat private dining room with a catering kitchen

Other amenities include a fitness center, pool, bike room and dog spa.

Location: Church Street, steps from Nashville Yards

Paramount sits across from the Nashville Public Library and the 17-acre, Amazon-anchored Nashville Yards. You can walk to Broadway, Bridgestone Arena, the Ryman and the Gulch. It also joins Giarratana's other Church Street towers, including 505, Alcove and Prime.

The project also funded a 60,000-square-foot addition to the next-door Downtown YMCA. That addition was finished in September 2025.

Construction timeline and latest update

• 2021: Giarratana and Goettsch Partners win the YMCA's proposal for the site.
• 2024: Name announced and condo presales open.
• September 15, 2025: Construction officially begins.
• Early 2026: Crews reach the 10th floor and install the first glass panels. Giarratana said the project was a month ahead of schedule.
• May 2028: Target completion.

The project is backed by a $340 million construction loan.

Is buying at Paramount a good move?

Paramount will be a one-of-one address in Nashville. Buyers who want the highest views in the state, new construction and a walkable downtown life will find little else like it.

There are trade-offs. You're buying a home that won't be finished until 2028. HOA dues are high, and prices are already climbing. A local agent can help you compare Paramount with finished towers like 505 or Four Seasons, review the purchase contract and plan your financing.
