505 Condos

DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE’S TALLEST RESIDENTIAL HIGH-RISE

Location and Building Overview

505 stands at the corner of Church Street and 5th Avenue in the heart of Downtown Nashville. At 45 stories and approximately 543 feet, it holds the distinction of being Nashville’s tallest residential building based on occupied floors, trailing only the AT&T Building (the “Batman Building”) in overall height. Developer Tony Giarratana of Giarratana Development LLC completed the tower in 2017-2018 after holding the Church Street property for more than 30 years, waiting for the right moment to build something truly distinctive.

The building contains approximately 550 total residential units split between rental apartments and privately owned condominiums. The condos occupy the upper floors, with the most premium residences and penthouses on levels 30 and above. Four two-story penthouses crown the tower on the 44th and 45th floors, offering more than 4,000 square feet with 23-foot ceilings.

Walk Score rates this location at 96 out of 100, which translates to genuine urban walkability. Bridgestone Arena is a few blocks away. The Ryman Auditorium sits just down the street. Nissan Stadium is a short walk across the Cumberland River pedestrian bridge. The building’s ground floor includes retail and restaurant space, so you can grab coffee or dinner without ever leaving the property.

The Residences

505 condos feature floor-to-ceiling windows that distinguish the building’s curved glass facade. Every unit captures some portion of the Nashville skyline, the Cumberland River, or the rolling Tennessee hills in the distance. The higher the floor, the more dramatic the views become.

Unit sizes range from studios around 400 square feet to penthouses exceeding 4,300 square feet. Most condos fall into one of three categories: one-bedroom units between 500 and 900 square feet, two-bedroom units between 1,000 and 1,400 square feet, and larger two-bedroom corner units with premium views. The building earned LEED certification for its energy-efficient design and construction.

Standard features include 10-foot ceilings, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryer connections, hardwood or engineered wood flooring, and spa-quality bathroom finishes. Corner units add private balconies. Many owners have upgraded their units with custom California Closets, quartz countertop extensions, and designer paint throughout.

One important distinction: 505 is a mixed-use building with both rental apartments and privately owned condos. The condos come with access to an exclusive owner-only amenity floor that renters cannot use. This includes a private fitness center, the Carmen’s Room wine cellar and tasting room (named for Tony Giarratana’s mother), a chef’s demonstration kitchen with dining room, meeting rooms, and private event space.
