The year 2025 is a monumental milestone for Turner’s Nashville business unit as we celebrate 50 years of building in Middle Tennessee. From our first projects in 1975 to the impactful work we’re delivering today, we take immense pride in our enduring contributions to the city.

Our earliest projects in Nashville were partnerships in the healthcare industry, and today our work is integral to Nashville’s skyline and extends across various sectors, including healthcare, commercial, education, manufacturing, data centers, and sports. We have collaborated with local government agencies, communities, nonprofit organizations, cultural institutions, professional sports teams, and developers to create a bright and prosperous future for our city.

These projects across so many parts of our local economy, along with our deep commitment to our partners and the communities they serve, are the primary reasons we’ve been able to build in Nashville for 50 years. Equally important, they provide meaningful careers and opportunities for our employees and their families, whose livelihoods, dedication, and pride are the foundation of Turner’s legacy and future in Middle Tennessee.

Leading the Way in Nashville’s Signature Industry

Nashville is a major hub for the healthcare industry and home to more than 500 healthcare companies. The Nashville Healthcare Council estimated the local healthcare ecosystem contributes over $68 billion annually to the local economy and supports 330,000 jobs in the region.

Turner’s healthcare partners in the region make a tremendous difference for patients, advancing care, driving groundbreaking research, and supporting medical education. Our first project in Nashville was at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and since then, our Turner teams have worked with many of the region’s leading healthcare providers including Ascension Saint Thomas, Cookeville Regional Medical Center, Maury Regional Medical Center, and Tennessee Oncology.

Over the past 50 years, Turner’s Nashville office has delivered an extensive portfolio of healthcare projects across Middle Tennessee, building and renovating spaces where leading providers care for our friends, families, and neighbors. Our experience spans major hospitals, outpatient centers, specialty clinics, and advanced research facilities—strengthening the region’s healthcare and life science infrastructure while supporting the well-being of the communities we serve.

Supporting the Region’s Leading Educational Institutions

Middle Tennessee is home to a diverse range of institutions supporting all types of educational and professional pursuits. Contributing substantially to the local economy each year, these institutions enhance individual career prospects, address local labor needs, and stimulate economic growth.�

Turner’s institutional work in Middle Tennessee includes the Art & Design building at Austin Peay State University, classrooms and laboratory infrastructure projects at Middle Tennessee State University, and multiple educational spaces at Vanderbilt University. 

Today, Turner is also a proud partner of Tennessee College of Applied Technology, serving as construction manager for multiple projects across the state that will expand access to career opportunities for Tennesseans of all backgrounds. In Nashville, Turner is building the new Allied Health Building, a teaching facility for the school’s nursing and dental programs that will play an important role in developing the future workforce for Nashville’s healthcare industry.

Building the Future of Sports and Entertainment

In the 50 years Turner has been building in Nashville, the city has become one of America’s best sports towns. Professional and collegiate sports significantly bolster Nashville's economy and help create vitality in the downtown area unmatched across the country, especially during events at Bridgestone Arena or Nissan Stadium.

Turner’s sports work in Middle Tennessee includes projects at Bridgestone Arena, Nashville Superspeedway, and Vanderbilt University.  

Turner’s Nashville team is currently undertaking one of the most transformative projects in Nashville’s history, constructing the new, domed Nissan Stadium, a facility that will allow the city to pursue the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, College Football Playoff, and major musical acts. Turner is a joint-venture partner in Tennessee Builders Alliance, the construction manager for the $1.8 billion multipurpose venue expected to open in 2027.

Making a Difference for Local and State Governments

Local governments in Middle Tennessee have played an essential role in making the region attractive to businesses and individuals. Nashville and Middle Tennessee offer an excellent quality of life, thanks in part to services provided by local government and cultural institutions.

Turner has supported local governments with projects like libraries, museums, healthcare facilities, courthouses, and more. Turner served as the construction manager for the Tennessee State Museum, Tennessee State Library and Archive, and completed a brand-new courthouse for Sumner County.

Today, Turner has multiple active projects for local and state governments seeking to improve the quality of public health services and civil services in the area. Our team is currently managing construction for the RS Gass Lab, a new public health facility with research labs, office and technical space, and shared equipment rooms that will modernize the state’s research and health capabilities.

Changing Nashville’s Skyline

Commercial and mixed-use projects are at the heart of downtown Nashville’s remarkable growth over the last two decades, and they are a core strength of Turner’s expertise as a builder. In the last 20 years, Nashville has experienced a population boom, accompanied by the relocation of multiple corporate headquarters to the region. Turner has been proud to play a role in shaping a vibrant, modern downtown that supports business, residential life, and cultural vitality.

Turner is responsible for a significant portion of Nashville’s always-evolving skyline, including work on one of the city’s most recognizable office tower, 333 Commerce, known locally as the “Batman Building.” Additional projects completed by Turner in Nashville include Broadwest, 1200 Broadway, 1222 Demonbreun at Gulch Union, 805 Lea, and 1030 Music Row.

Turner has also made recent contributions to the heart of Nashville’s tourism and entertainment scene with the delivery of live music venues like Blake Shelton’s Ole Red Nashville and Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville—adding to the vibrancy of Lower Broadway and reinforcing the city’s global identity as Music City.

Most recently, Turner completed The Pullman at Gulch Union, a 31-story residential and mixed-use tower, and is nearing completion on Peabody Union, a 27-story development that blends residential, retail, and office space along the Cumberland River—further cementing our role in Nashville’s continued evolution.

In addition to ground-up construction, Turner maintains a strong presence in interior work, delivering high-quality renovations and fit-outs for offices and commercial environments throughout the region. Our local catalog includes projects for Warner Music Group, Smith Seckman Reid, Inc., iHeartMedia, Revance, Kimley-Horn, and Universal Music Group—each tailored to support the dynamic needs of modern workspaces.

A Bright Future

In the last 50 years, Turner has made its mark on Nashville, shaping the city today with partners from across industries. As Nashville moves forward, Turner will continue to be involved in the city's most exciting projects.

In the years to come, Turner will complete the new Nissan Stadium, begin work on projects along Nashville’s East Bank, and build for clients in the region’s growing advanced manufacturing industry.

Just as important as the work we build is the environment we create for our people. At Turner, we are deeply committed to fostering a workplace where employees can thrive—through professional growth opportunities, career development, and a culture that inspires the next generation of builders. Thanks to the dedication of our incredible team and partners, Turner is well-positioned to continue making a meaningful difference in Middle Tennessee for the next 50 years.
