Centered around two historic urban buildings, this development brings new life to a growing Nashville neighborhood. Prima at Paseo South Gulch, the first tower of a four tower development, consists of 16 stories that comprise 278 residential units, 234 parking spaces, 7,000 sf of retail space and 18,000 sf of liner office space. Amenities include a rooftop pool, resident lounge, business center, pet wash areas and fitness center.

Establishing a cohesive context for the emerging district, the design promotes a contemporary interpretation of the industrial character found in the landmark Voorhees Building and a former antiques mall, which lie at the base of the development. A second layer of vertically oriented shifting panels creates a modern gesture that seamlessly integrates with the industrial language of the existing buildings. The massing carves away at the top floor of each tower to provide exterior amenity areas with views of Downtown Nashville.

The development not only brings new residential and commercial opportunities to the area, but also creates a dynamic retail environment placed along a central pedestrian thruway. This paseo, which inspired the development’s name, is stitched through Tower One, connecting the antiques mall and Tower Two. It includes a variety of store fronts, outdoor dining and landscape spaces.
