Fifth Third Center, the third-largest office building in downtown Nashville, has been listed for sale, according to Cushman & Wakefield marketing materials. 
An asking price has not been disclosed.

New York-based Blackstone Real Estate is the owner of the building. The firm paid $144.8 million for the tower in 2019. Goldman Sachs was the previous owner, having paid $118 million for the building at the end of 2018.

Downtown's Fifth Third Center, located at 424 Church St., opened in 1986 and offers nearly 650,000 square feet of leasable space. The 31-story tower has received $15 million in capital investment in the last decade and $7 million since 2019, according to the listing.

The Nashville office of Cushman & Wakefield is handling marketing for the property which is currently 73% leased to 35 tenants, according to marketing materials. The average rent is between $35.50 to $37.50 per square foot, according to Business Journal research.

[HeartSong Hotel (Dolly Parton brand, 211 Commerce, 11 stories, unknown rooms, ground level retail, internal garage)]

Dolly Parton has now secured a permit to conduct “full demolition of existing tenant construction and original building systems” on nine levels of the 11-story tower at 211 Commerce St. to convert it to a HeartSong Hotel.

The ground floor, which includes the lobby and restaurants Black Tap and First Watch, is excluded from demolition plans, as well as parts of the sixth and seventh floors, which are occupied by the two remaining office tenants in the building.

The construction cost for the demolition is $500,000, according to the permit.

Cincinnati-based Pivot Studio is the architect for the project, and D&S Builders is handling the demolition. The Sevierville-based general contractor led construction of Parton’s two Pigeon Forge hotels.

[Nashville International Airport Development thread]

The budget for the airport's "New Horizon" construction program is poised to rise 45%, topping $2.1 billion, according to estimates prepared for the airport authority's upcoming board meeting.

The "New Horizon" program still calls for growing the airport from 54 gates today to 70 gates by the end of 2028, by rebuilding and expanding Concourse A as well as extending Concourse D.

"The good news … is that all the airlines want the 70 gates. It's like you're building apartments, and they're all going to rent them," Kreulen said. All the new concession space in Concourse D also is already claimed, he said. The airport hasn't begun soliciting tenants for the retail space in the new Concourse A.

The extra costs swelling the budget for New Horizon come from adding three items and expanding another project. The new pieces are:

• Another parking garage, though where it would be built is still to be determined. "We're good on parking today," Kreulen said, citing the airport's current volume of more than 23.5 million annual passengers. "By the time I get to 26-27 million, that might not be enough on-airport parking."
• A building with seven drive-through lanes to de-ice planes, which can double as a place to park aircraft diverted because of bad weather elsewhere. "That will be a big pressure-relief valve," Kreulen said.
• Adding an $80 million contingency, money set aside to cover unforeseen cost increases.

Additionally, the authority wants to expand the capacity of its baggage handling systems, creating the ability to handle bags at passenger flow of 40 million fliers per year. That's above the capacity of the terminal once the ongoing construction is done — creating cushion in case the airport's planned second terminal opens behind schedule, Kreulen said.

An airport board committee is scheduled to vet the revised budget estimates on May 8.

Design details for the 3 tower Rutledge Hill development have been submitted to the Metro Planning Commission last week. 

"World-renowned Norwegian architecture firm Snohetta meticulously designed three new towers for this master-planned district, respecting the prominence and prestige of the existing, historic Victorian-era homes on the block," Essex cofounder Jai Patel said.

The plan includes renovation of six historic buildings to be repurposed as "culinary destinations" near Hermitage Avenue and Middleton Street, by Sean Brock's Husk restaurant. Those include the Meadowlark, Hello Darlin' and Mr. J's Original.

Some additional development details:

• A luxury, 200-room hotel with 100 condominiums, a restaurant and lounge, rooftop bar and coffee shop (37 story tower).
• A "lifestyle hotel," or a boutique-chain hotel, tower with 125 hotel rooms, 100 condominiums, a coffee shop, restaurant and lounge, and rooftop bar (21 story tower).
• A residential tower with 154 apartments or condominiums (17 story tower).
• A 97,500-square-foot retail village anchored by a central marketplace with a farmer's market, retail and entertainment such as a theater.

Plans also include shared underground parking with 777 spaces.
