The recent completion of 5 City Blvd, a 15-story office building designed by architecture firm Goettsch Partners (GP), introduces a bold new presence to Nashville’s rapidly developing West Side. The project anchors the growing OneC1ty mixed-use community and now stands as its tallest structure in the complex, combining striking architectural form with a forward-looking approach to workplace design.

Totaling 730,000 square feet (67,819 square meters), the building includes 360,000 square feet (33,445 square meters) of office space, 17,000 square feet (1,579 square meters) of street-level retail, and a multilevel parking structure with more than 950 spaces. The design includes adaptable floor plates and an extensive suite of wellness-focused amenities.

“We are very pleased to add to the dynamic growth of Nashville while helping to activate the public realm at OneC1ty,” said Paul De Santis, partner and design director at GP. “We embraced the site’s unusual geometry to create a building that is both sculptural and functional—something that enhances the skyline while inspiring the occupants.”

Situated on a prominent, triangular parcel with direct access to major roadways and visibility from Interstate 440, the building is distinguished by its curved eastern façade and stepped terraces, which seem to peel away from the structure to form generous outdoor spaces with panoramic city views. The high-performance glass façade is accentuated by copper-toned vertical fins, offering passive solar shading while subtly referencing the area’s clay-rich soil.

At ground level, the design prioritizes urban connectivity. Retail storefronts and a public plaza at the southeast corner foster a lively pedestrian experience and establish 5 City Blvd as a social and commercial hub within OneC1ty. Interiors, created in collaboration with Partners by Design, feature an expansive Level 5 amenity floor centered on health, comfort, and collaboration. The offerings include a state-of-the-art fitness center, grab-and-go market, catering kitchen, lounges, phone rooms, and flexible, daylight-filled training spaces. Warm materials, layered textures, and ample natural light infuse the interiors with a sense of vitality that reflects Nashville’s evolving professional culture.

The project marks GP’s fourth collaboration with Convexity Properties, following successful office and hotel developments in Chicago and Denver.
