Goettsch Partners Unveils Design for Nashville’s Tallest Tower

Goettsch Partners has just revealed the design for a new tower in Nashville, United States, that is set to become the city’s tallest structure. The building, dubbed “Paramount,” will reach 750 feet tall across 60 floors, surpassing the current tallest AT&T building at 617 feet. Located in downtown Nashville, Paramount will feature 360 ​​apartments, 140 condos, a 517-space parking garage, and a 60,000-square-foot expansion to the adjacent Downtown YMCA.

Goettsch Partners’ design focuses on creating a prominent vertical element in the Nashville skyline. The tower’s structure is divided into three distinct sections—base, core, and top—each contributing to its overall architectural identity. The building’s glass façade is composed of angular surfaces that reflect light in different directions, reinforcing its verticality. The top four floors will feature a “crown” of triangular glass elements, creating a diamond shape that distinguishes the tower’s peak and houses the tower’s most exclusive residences.

The tower’s positioning on the site is designed to maximize views from all directions while maintaining distance from nearby developments, including the new Amazon headquarters and other residential towers. The ground floor features a 30-foot glass lobby overlooking Church Street, creating a welcoming entrance. Resident amenities are spread across the ninth floor, including lounges, dining rooms, fitness spaces and an outdoor terrace with a pool and cabanas. The 40th floor offers additional amenities for condominium residents, including a lounge, dining room and bar.

The Paramount project took shape in 2021, when plans were developed to expand and renovate the downtown Nashville YMCA. The development includes a five-story addition to the YMCA at the corner of Church Street and YMCA Way, next to a 60-story residential tower. Excavation of the Paramount site is currently underway, and full construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion scheduled for 2027.
