The Beginning
Where It Started
Tony Giarratana arrives in Nashville and makes his first investment in downtown. At 5 o'clock, you could walk down Church Street and not see a soul. He saw something nobody else did.
Premier Parking
Building the Foundation
Before the towers came the streets. Giarratana co-founds Premier Parking, Nashville's largest parking services provider, establishing a deep operational presence in the city's central business district.
The Cumberland
Proving Them Wrong
Nobody thought downtown living would work. The Cumberland on Church Street proved them wrong as Nashville's first high-rise residential tower. One resident showed up on opening day. The rest followed.
Bennie Dillon
Preserving History
The only early 20th century Renaissance Revival high-rise in Nashville listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Giarratana transforms the 1927 landmark into modern residential lofts, proving that preservation and progress belong together.
Viridian
Nashville's First Condominiums
Downtown's first high-rise condominium tower launches Nashville's condo boom. Viridian brings a new kind of buyer to Church Street and changes the conversation about what urban living in Nashville can be.
Encore
Expanding the Map
The first residential high-rise in SoBro. Encore rises 20 stories across from the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, helping transform an overlooked district into one of Nashville's most desirable neighborhoods.
505
Nashville's Tallest Residential Tower
Forty-five stories of curved glass reshape the skyline. 505 becomes Nashville's tallest residential building and the tallest occupied building in Tennessee. Originally planned for 60 stories, the vision was ahead of its time. The proof of concept for everything that followed.
Elliston Place Soda Shop
Saving a Nashville Original
Not every landmark is a tower. When Nashville's longest continuously operating restaurant faced closure, Tony and Lisa Giarratana stepped in to preserve it. Relocated next door to a 1907 building with twice the space, the Soda Shop reopened with its original chrome fixtures, vinyl booths, and Miss Linda's pies. Some things are worth saving exactly as they are.
ALCOVE
International Recognition
Thirty-four stories of stacked, shifted cubes at 900 Church Street. Four signature 75-foot alcove terraces. A clear acrylic pool cantilevered 400 feet above the sidewalk. ALCOVE earns the CTBUH Award of Excellence for Best Tall Building, the first Nashville building to receive international architectural recognition.
PRIME
Bold Geometry
Thirty-eight stories of bold geometry on Church Street. PRIME's distinctive stacked volumes create residences found nowhere else in the city. The next chapter in Giarratana's architectural ambition for downtown Nashville.
PARAMOUNT
Tennessee's Tallest Tower
Sixty stories. 750 feet. The tallest building in Tennessee. PARAMOUNT rises with a faceted glass crown and the most exclusive residences Nashville has ever offered. A vision three decades in the making, finally realized.
