Midtown Nashville's Charlotte Avenue corridor has another high-profile "for sale" sign, and this one comes with New York money behind it. A roughly 31,000-square-foot office building at 2300 Charlotte Avenue, sitting on about 1.1 acres and home to music-industry tenants, has quietly hit the market. Public records tie the property to Clarion Partners, which appears to be pitching the site primarily to institutional buyers.
According to the Nashville Post, Clarion Partners has put 2300 Charlotte Avenue up for sale with an asking price that is not being disclosed. The listing is for a freestanding, two-story office building on the hard corner of Charlotte Avenue and 22nd Avenue North, a spot that tends to catch plenty of drive-by attention.
Commercial listings and public-record data describe the asset as a roughly 31,078-square-foot, two-story, B-class office building on a 1.10-acre lot, with about 50 surface parking spaces. The structure dates back to 1927, with a renovation completed in 2008, per LoopNet. Broker materials and parcel information frame the site as a highly visible Midtown corner with quick access to downtown, plus the nearby medical and university corridors.
What’s on the market
On the tenant front, the building counts music-business manager FBMM among its occupants. The firm lists its Nashville office at 2300 Charlotte Avenue on FBMM, underscoring the building's foothold in the music sector.
Clarion's public filings identify "The Sheds on Charlotte" as a multi-building office and retail campus along Charlotte Avenue that sits in one of its funds. That suggests the 2300 Charlotte parcel functions as part of a larger campus rather than a one-off stand-alone investment, according to a filing with the SEC.
Why Midtown matters
Investors have been circling Charlotte Avenue for years. The 2300 Charlotte property itself last changed hands in 2016 for roughly $7.5 million, according to the Nashville Business Journal. That deal helped cement the corridor's reputation as a place where office and mixed-use bets can pencil out.
More recent coverage has highlighted nearby sites being marketed as quick-to-build or repositioning plays that lean heavily on Midtown's proximity to Vanderbilt University and the adjoining hospital complexes. The 2300 Charlotte site fits neatly into that narrative as one more piece of a maturing urban corridor.
What could come next?
Potential buyers could range from regional owner-operators and local developers to out-of-market funds looking either to hold a stabilized Midtown asset or to reposition the corner. Whether the building stays largely office or gets reimagined as some form of mixed-use will likely hinge on how financing pencils out, what existing leases allow, and how quickly any new concept can clear the permitting process.
The Nashville Post reports that Clarion Partners has not released an asking price, and marketing details appear to be restricted to qualified buyers. For now, anyone curious about the deal will have to watch county records and brokerage listings to see how this Midtown corner trade unfolds.
