Nashville, Tennessee, is a big city in the United States. Like many growing cities, it has many tall buildings, also known as skyscrapers! This article will tell you about the tallest buildings in Nashville, from the ones already built to those still being planned.

The very tallest building in Nashville, and in the whole state of Tennessee, is the AT&T Building. It stands an amazing 617 feet (188 meters) tall and was finished in 1994. You might recognize it because it looks a bit like a giant bat! The second tallest building is the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, which is 542 feet (165 meters) high.

Tall buildings started appearing in Nashville a long time ago. The first one was the First National Bank Building, built in 1905. It was 168 feet (51 meters) tall and had 12 floors. Today, Nashville has about 275 buildings that are 100 feet (30 meters) or taller! The city has been growing very fast, especially since 2015. Many new high-rises have been built, and even more are being planned or are under construction right now.
