Adams & Reese is doubling down on Nashville, locking in a fresh chunk of space at Broadwest to keep pace with a growing roster of attorneys and staff. The firm is taking roughly 5,500 square feet on the tower’s 17th floor, bolstering its Midtown presence after recent recruitments and giving it extra room to serve local corporate and government clients. The deal keeps the firm inside Broadwest’s mixed-use complex and signals steady confidence in Nashville’s office market at a time when some cities are still wobbling.
Lease And Broker Details
As first reported by Nashville Business Journal, Adams & Reese is expanding its footprint at Broadwest into roughly 5,500 square feet on the 17th floor of the tower. JLL confirmed the transaction, with Executive Managing Directors Tom Hooper and Bo Tyler representing Adams & Reese, while Senior Managing Director Bill Adair and Executive Vice President Ashley Albright represented landlord Propst Development. JLL’s project and development services team will oversee the build-out of the new office, according to REJournals.
Broadwest’s Role In Midtown
Broadwest stretches across a full city block at 1600 West End Avenue as a mixed-use development that pairs a 21-story Class AA office tower with the Conrad Nashville hotel, residences and street-level retail, according to the project site. The complex touts 25,000-square-foot floor plates, a 1.5-acre plaza and direct pedestrian connections that help stitch together Downtown and Midtown. The Adams & Reese lease arrives amid a run of corporate deals and office upgrades in Nashville’s market, which industry trackers such as CRE Daily say have contributed to recent positive net absorption.
What The Expansion Means For The Firm
The Nashville page for Adams & Reese notes that the firm relocated into Broadwest in 2021 and lists its Broadwest address and suite, underscoring a multi-year commitment to the development. The additional 5,500 square feet is expected to provide flexible capacity for new hires, support growing practice groups and create more client-facing space in Midtown. That trajectory lines up with a broader regional trend of national and regional law firms expanding their Nashville footprints as the city continues to attract corporate relocations and large leases.
The 17th-floor expansion serves as a clear signal that Adams & Reese views Nashville as a growth market and is building the bench strength to handle larger matters locally. With leasing activity still chugging along in the city, the firm’s new Broadwest space offers extra runway for recruitment and client work in the months ahead.
