Said Burke, “Over the last few years we have really invested in our work environment and our real estate footprint globally. We’ve done new offices in Hong Kong, in Tokyo, and we knew when we started to look at what we needed for a headquarters, we needed a building that was not only on par, if not better, to represent AllianceBernstein in the global market. 501 Commerce was incredibly attractive to AllianceBernstein.”

Said Justice, “I’ve been all over the world and have seen some of the best buildings. It is the places that bring together the human capital that flourish – like 501 Commerce which is really bringing together that human capital that will help Nashville thrive and take it to that next level as one of the cities that really lead our nation.”

Said Oliver, “This is as amenity full and as artistic and as progressive as any new office building anywhere in America. There isn’t anything that has been done somewhere else in America in a new building that we haven’t done or done better.”
Key features of the building, praised by interview subjects include:
- A nearly 19,000-square-foot amenity level featuring indoor / outdoor space.
- State of the art indoor/outdoor fitness center with a locker room, showers, and a bonus yoga room.
- Lobby with 30-foot ceilings with indoor connectivity to the Assembly Food Hall at Fifth + Broadway.
- Easy access with parking on Commerce St with defined ride share pick-up and drop-off location.
- Inspiring 360-degree views of downtown Nashville positioned by lower Broadway where views will never be obstructed.
Nashville is already an attractive corporate relocation destination, but 501 Commerce elevates the opportunities for companies to move to Nashville.
Added Burke, “Nashville is a great choice for anyone who is considering moving their offices outside of their current location. The welcoming nature of Nashvillians, the amenities, the cultural events that you can do. Our people have really appreciated the ease in which they’ve been able to join the Nashville community.”
“You can’t just look at it on paper, you need to come out here – live it, experience it, and see it for yourself. It’s really second to none,” closed Oliver.
