DALLAS, Nov. 5, 2025 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the sale and financing of 1222 Demonbreun at Gulch Union, a Class AA, Tier 1 office building totaling 330,475 square feet in Nashville, Tennessee. The sale represents the largest office sale in Nashville post-COVID.
JLL represented the seller, a joint venture between Endeavor Real Estate and Granite Properties, and procured the buyer, Shorenstein Investment Advisors (“Shorenstein”). JLL also secured the acquisition loan through Alliance Bernstein on behalf of Shorenstein.
Delivered in 2020, 1222 Demonbreun is a 20-story, best-in-class property that promotes collaboration, community and creativity through experience-rich office space. The building has sweeping views of Downtown Nashville, Midtown and Music Row and has a market-leading amenity package featuring a fitness center with locker rooms, an indoor/outdoor tenant lounge, 48-seat conference center, high-touch lobby, ground-floor retail and a 900-space parking garage. 1222 Demonbreun is 97% leased to a diverse rent roll, including Revance, Tennessee Valley Authority and Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough.
1222 Demonbreun sits in the heart of The Gulch, Nashville’s premier office submarket, and is the first phase of the Gulch Union master plan that includes office, residential, hospitality, and retail uses. The Gulch is a 24-hour live-work-play environment that boasts a variety of bars, restaurants, hospitality, retail and living options. As one of the few Tier 1 office assets in the Gulch, 1222 Demonbreun will remain well positioned to capture tenant demand in Nashville, amid local supply constraints.
According to JLL’s Q3 2025 Nashville Office Market Dynamics report, Nashville was one of only six U.S. markets to record positive absorption in every quarter in 2025. The city’s year-to-date growth of just under 500,000 square feet ranks it as the second highest among those markets. Nashville continues to experience economic expansion fueled by the entertainment, music, healthcare and technology sectors, and has been the #1 ULI Top Rated Market four of the last five years and the 14th fastest growing MSA in the nation.
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Directors Richard Reid, Mike McDonald and Ryan Clutter and Managing Director Huston Green.
JLL’s Debt Advisory team representing Shorenstein included Managing Directors C.J. Kelly, and Greg Napper and Director Anthony Sansone.
“1222 Demonbreun epitomizes the flight-to-quality trend in the office sector,” said Reid, who also oversees JLL’s Capital Markets office in Nashville. “We had no shortage of interest in the offering, ranging from institutional investors to private capital.”
“We continue to see office debt becoming more available,” added Sansone. “A wide range of lenders were interested, from insurance companies to CMBS and debt funds. It’s a clear sign that capital is re-engaging with quality office product in strong markets like Nashville.”
