The Downtown Nashville Condo Market in 2025
Downtown Nashville’s condo market has undergone a significant transformation over the past two years. An influx of new luxury high-rise developments has reshaped the landscape, creating a two-tier market that buyers and sellers need to understand before making a move.
The numbers tell the story: 477 condos sold in the past 12 months across downtown zip codes 37201, 37203, 37208, 37210, 37212, and 37219. The median sale price sits at $800,000, but that figure masks a critical divide between established buildings and new construction.
Newer buildings completed since 2020 (including Hyve, The Emory At Nashville Yards, Pullman At Gulch Union, Broadwest, Four Seasons, and Harold & Owen) account for 34% of all sales and command significantly higher prices. The median sale price for units in these buildings is $1,125,000 with an average of $888 per square foot. Meanwhile, established buildings built before 2020 (like Icon, Twelve Twelve, Viridian, and Encore) have a median sale price of $630,000 and average $656 per square foot.
This 35% price gap matters. If you’re selling in an established building, you’re competing against brand-new inventory with modern finishes and amenities. If you’re buying, you have options at different price points depending on which tier fits your budget and priorities.
Downtown Neighborhoods and Building Options
Downtown Nashville condo living spans several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character. The Gulch remains the most active market with buildings like Twelve Twelve, Icon, and Terrazzo. The neighborhood offers walkability to restaurants, shops, and Whole Foods, plus easy interstate access via the I-65/I-40 interchange.
The SoBro district (South of Broadway) has seen the most dramatic transformation with the arrival of Four Seasons Private Residences and the upcoming Paramount tower. This area puts you steps from Bridgestone Arena, Nissan Stadium, and the honky-tonks of Lower Broadway. The Four Seasons commands the market’s highest prices, with a median sale price of nearly $2 million and price per square foot averaging $1,631.
Germantown offers a different vibe with historic loft conversions like Werthan Lofts alongside newer townhome developments. Prices here tend to run lower than the Gulch, and you’re trading high-rise views for walkable access to some of Nashville’s best restaurants.
Midtown provides proximity to Vanderbilt and Music Row with buildings like 505, The Adelicia, Rhythm, and The Residences at Broadwest. The Broadwest development above the Conrad Hotel has been one of the most active buildings in the market, with 28 sales in the past year.
Popular Condo Buildings
Here’s where the action has been over the past 12 months:
Twelve Twelve led all buildings with 52 closed sales. This LEED-certified tower in the Gulch offers 1-2 bedroom units with floor-to-ceiling windows and salt-water pool amenities. Prices ranged from the mid-$400s to over $1.3 million for premium corner units.
Hyve came in second with 42 sales. This new construction building at 7th Ave S offers NOO (non-owner-occupied) short-term rental eligibility, making it popular with investors. Units feature modern finishes and a rooftop pool.
Viridian recorded 35 sales. Located on Church Street, this established building offers larger floor plans and competitive pricing compared to newer buildings.
Icon in the Gulch had 30 closed transactions. This building has the largest footprint of any condo building in Nashville, which protects views from future construction.
The Residences at Broadwest saw 28 sales above the Conrad Hotel. These luxury units offer hotel amenities and premium finishes, with a median sale price of $1.535 million.
Other active buildings include 505 High Rise (25 sales), The Adelicia (22 sales), Encore (17 sales), Riverfront (12 sales), and Bennie Dillon.
New Construction Impact
The wave of new construction has fundamentally changed the downtown condo market. Buildings like Hyve, The Emory, Broadwest, Four Seasons, Paramount (under construction), and Pullman Gulch Union have added hundreds of new units to inventory.
Pullman Gulch Union currently leads active inventory with 20 units for sale. This brand-new building at 1212 Demonbreun offers 300 residences with 24 unique floor plans, pricing from the mid-$400s to over $2 million for larger units.
The Paramount development at 1010 Church Street will become Tennessee’s tallest building at 60 stories. Pre-sales are active now with units starting around $1.4 million for one-bedroom residences and reaching $13 million for penthouses.
This new supply has created pricing pressure on established buildings. Sellers in older buildings need to price competitively and highlight value compared to new construction premiums. Buyers benefit from more options and negotiating power, especially in the established building segment.

Building Amenities and HOA Considerations
HOA fees downtown vary dramatically based on building amenities and age. The median monthly fee runs around $652, but costs range from $416 in older buildings to nearly $6,000 in luxury towers like Four Seasons.
Most downtown high-rises include common amenities like fitness centers, pools, concierge services, and secured parking. Newer buildings have added more lifestyle amenities including rooftop lounges, dog parks and pet spas, co-working spaces, and guest suites for visiting friends and family.
Before purchasing, understand exactly what your HOA fee covers. Some buildings include utilities like water, internet, or cable in the monthly fee. Others cover exterior maintenance, insurance, and reserves only. This can significantly impact your true monthly cost of ownership.
Short-Term Rental Eligibility
If you’re considering a downtown condo as an investment property, STR (short-term rental) eligibility is critical. Nashville has strict permitting requirements, and not all buildings allow short-term rentals.
Buildings like Hyve were specifically designed for NOO-STR (non-owner-occupied short-term rental) use. Others like Twelve Twelve, Encore, and Icon have varying policies. Some allow owner-occupied rentals but prohibit investor-owned units from renting nightly.
We track which buildings permit short-term rentals and can help you identify properties that match your investment goals.
