Nashville is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. The question is why? It could be the state of Tennessee tax incentives that are driving businesses here but there are also thousands of new residents relocating. As a destination, visitors seem to not get enough of Music City and the future Nashville Skyline is changing along with this new interest.
Many of those relocating from the west coast see Nashville as more cost-friendly and affordable. California real estate and necessities like food and gas are the highest in the country and it appears that the beauty and affordability of Nashville is a place that appeals to west coast residents like California where the topography is likewise beautiful.
Taken a step further, Nashville is a definable brand. Mention the name Nashville and those around the world and many will see an image of something that is highly appealing. So appealing that many investors and corporations are now moving and building here.
National Geographic named Nashville the World’s Top Destination for June, calling out events like the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and for its country music at the annual four-day CMA Fest in downtown Nashville. Nashville is the Emerald City of Country Music.
While everyone is not wearing cowboy hats and cowboy boots, the world has an image that Nashville is the place to witness the Deep South and Country Music. While the city is in many ways eclectic and progressive, it’s the tourism that defines its nature in money spent and its promotion over social media.
Bloomberg recently wrote that Booming Nashville Is Being Transformed by Luxury Tourism. It’s about supply and demand and because of that demand, Nashville is growing beyond what its original residents had known it to be–Traditional.
There is no question that Nashville is more liberal than the rest of Tennessee. While Republican Governor Bill Lee brought the state out of the COVID lockdown early, Nashville’s Democrat mayor John Cooper kept the city under COVID restrictions much longer than many Nashville businesses preferred. Nashville is tourism, and now it is back– full throttle.
Music City’s skyline is constantly in flux. Every luxury brand is moving in, or trying to. Here is just a small list of new and future construction in Nashville. Many of these companies are buying the best property in the best areas with the knowledge that what they pay now will likely be worth far more in the future.
