What's changing in West End
Updated July 2026Broadwest
Broadwest is a roughly $540 million, 1.2-million-square-foot mixed-use development at the point where Broadway meets West End Avenue, pairing a 34-story residential-and-hotel tower with a 21-story office tower.
Broadwest occupies a full city block at 1600 West End Avenue, where Broadway and West End Avenue converge at the eastern edge of Nashville's West End/Midtown corridor. Developed by Huntsville, Alabama-based Propst Development, the roughly $540 million project totals about 1.2 million square feet across two towers connected by 125,000 square feet of retail and creative office space and anchored by a 1.5-acre plaza, with multiple levels of below-grade parking. Turner Construction built the 21-story office tower, while Hoar Construction built the condominium-and-hotel tower.
The taller of the two structures is a 34-story tower that combines a 234-room Conrad Nashville luxury hotel (Hilton's Conrad brand) on its lower floors with 196 high-end condominiums on the upper floors. The Conrad Nashville opened June 29, 2022. At sales launch the project listed nine penthouse residences priced from about $2.15 million to $5.58 million; resale listings for the condominiums have ranged into the $7 million range. The companion 21-story tower holds 510,000-plus square feet of Class AA office space.
The office tower was completed in 2021 and was developed under LEED Gold standards. The hotel followed in mid-2022; the Propst/Chartwell Hospitality development partnership sold the Conrad to Denver-based Northwood Investors for about $170.5 million shortly before it opened. Broadwest is one of the largest single private real-estate developments completed along the West End corridor in recent years.
Office leasing at the tower has continued through 2026: law firm Adams & Reese signed a lease expansion for about 5,500 square feet on the 17th floor, and JPMorgan Chase is relocating its Nashville corporate offices to Broadwest, taking roughly 51,000 square feet across two floors and consolidating staff from other Nashville locations, with signage planned atop the building and employees expected to begin moving in starting in early 2027.
A separate project sits a few blocks west: Vanderbilt University's West End Tower at 2417 West End Avenue, a collegiate-gothic tower of roughly 19 to 20 stories completed in 2021. It houses student residences for Nicholas S. Zeppos College, and after Vanderbilt created an entity called Vanderbilt Enterprises in June 2025, the building's 17 furnished hotel-style suites opened to the general public on February 1, 2026. For relocating buyers, these projects reflect the ongoing densification of West End/Midtown into a walkable mix of residences, hotels, offices and retail near Vanderbilt and downtown.
