Barnes & Thornburg Signs Lease at Broadwest, Doubling Office Space in Nashville to Accommodate Future Growth

NASHVILLE – Barnes & Thornburg announced today that it has signed a lease for its Nashville office, which opened in May of 2023 with the addition of five partners. Located at 1600 West End Avenue, the Nashville team will occupy the entire 8th floor of the Broadwest office tower. The space is nearly 26,000 square feet, more than double their current location.

The new office will provide Barnes & Thornburg attorneys and business professionals opportunities for collaboration and flexibility with a warm modern space, interior floor-to-ceiling windows, large and breakout conference rooms, individual and multi-person work stations, an open-concept kitchen complete with cold brew and beverage taps, and banquette. The space was designed by ASD | SKY and constructed by DWC Construction, Inc.

“Since the firm’s entrance into Nashville earlier this year, we have remained committed to expanding our presence in the region, establishing our local footprint, and fostering strong relationships throughout the city,” said Jay Knight, partner-in-charge of the firm’s Nashville office. “The new Broadwest office tower will further enable us to achieve those objectives. We are excited to work alongside the talented teams at ASD | SKY and DWC Construction, Inc. to create an office that reflects our culture, accommodates our future growth, and offers an attractive and welcoming space for our clients, attorneys, and business professionals.”

The Broadwest office tower, completed in 2021, features 14-foot floor-to-floor ceilings with 10.5-foot floor-to-ceiling vision glass, an upgraded construction design focused on efficiency, an outdoor office tenant amenity space, and a 1.5-acre plaza for gatherings and events. The location offers easy access to restaurants, retail, entertainment, and sports venues.
