Our Market

CresaPartners in Nashville provides tenant representation advisory services in the areas of office, retail, and industrial properties.  

The friendly residents and the phenomenal music scene don’t hide the fact that Nashville is one of the most progressive cities in the South. In 2009, Nashville was voted amount one of the Top 10 Greatest Low-tax Places to Retire (U.S. News & World Report), 25th Best Place for Business and Careers (Forbes), 5th in the Top States for Job Growth and Business (Chief Executive Magazine), 5th for Economic Strength (POLICOM Corporation), 13th Best Place to Begin a Career (Forbes), #1 in Quality of Life (Business Facilities), #1 Friendliest City (Travel & Leisure), #4 for Best North American Cities for Live Music (Society of American Travelers), and #5 for Business Climate (Site Selection Magazine).

The Nashville office market is a relatively healthy one.  In the musical chairs game of real estate development, there are a few areas office developers that were caught with product coming out of the ground at the time the recession hit.   Overall though, Nashville is in fine shape.  There some areas that are considered a tenant’s market and some that are considered a landlord’s market, with no glaring pockets of despair.     The retail market is experiencing a slow-down that is more commiserate with that of the rest of country.  However, Williamson County – one of the wealthiest counties in the nation – continues to move along at a moderate pace.  While not hosting the plethora of industrial product that populates Memphis, the Nashville industrial market is substantial and has a number of 500,000 SF opportunities available for lease.

While Nashville is not immune from the economic downturn, it has fared nearly as well as any city in the country. Why?  Probably because of its diverse base of business (entertainment, tourism, government, education, and healthcare), its physical location (within 600 miles of 75% of the US population), and its Chamber of Commerce which was recently named the #1 Chamber of Commerce of any size in the United States.
