Shorenstein Investment Advisers has scooped up the Moore Building, a freshly minted, amenity-packed office tower in Midtown’s Music Row. The 16-story property, delivered in 2023, comes with tenant lounges, an elevated sky lobby and ground-floor retail. The buy adds more weight to Shorenstein's Nashville portfolio at a moment when investors are chasing high-quality, well-located office space instead of fixer-uppers.
The firm confirmed it acquired the roughly 245,826-square-foot Class AA tower and said the purchase fits its strategy of targeting "high-quality office assets" in fast-growing cities. "Nashville continues to be one of the most compelling office markets in the country, supported by strong demographic and investment trends, and the Moore Building is positioned to capitalize on this broader growth," Claude Esposito, a senior vice president in Shorenstein’s investments group, said, according to CityBiz.
What the Moore Building Offers
Opened in 2023, the Moore Building was developed by Portman Holdings and Creed Investment Company and designed by Gresham Smith. Building Design + Construction reports the project delivers about 236,000 square feet of office space and roughly 8,500 square feet of ground-floor retail. The property's marketing site leans into the sky lobby, indoor-outdoor tenant lounge and on-site parking as key calling cards. For direct project details, see the Moore Building.
TikTok Is A Key Tenant
The tower locked in a headline-grabbing tenant when TikTok signed a sizable multi-floor lease in 2024 for a permanent Nashville office, reported at about 143,610 square feet. That deal ranked as one of the market's largest transactions of the quarter and helped cement the Moore Building as a marquee address for creative and tech users, according to the Nashville Business Journal.
Shorenstein's Nashville Play
Shorenstein's Moore Building grab builds on its earlier Nashville moves, including its October 2025 acquisition of 1222 Demonbreun in the Gulch. The firm's properties listing highlights its expanding local footprint and a strategy that mixes selective trophy purchases with hands-on property management, per Shorenstein.
Market Context
Investors are still circling well-located, amenity-heavy offices in Nashville even as the national office sector resets. Colliers' Q4 2025 office report points to hefty new supply in recent years, followed by a slimmer construction pipeline and renewed investor interest. Those conditions help keep premium, newly delivered assets on shopping lists for institutional buyers. Colliers notes that a smaller development pipeline and focused demand for Class A space have supported leasing and sales momentum in core submarkets.
Shorenstein said it plans to lean on its property-management model and tenant programming to support leasing and long-term value at the Moore Building, a strategy the company emphasized in its statement, according to CityBiz. With TikTok as an anchor tenant and Midtown's walkable lineup of restaurants, hotels and music venues just outside the front door, the deal signals that institutional money is still very much interested in Nashville's top-tier office product.
