Welcome to Nashville, Tennessee! This article is all about the super tall buildings, also known as skyscrapers, that reach high into the sky in this amazing city. We'll explore which buildings are the tallest and how Nashville has grown over the years.

The very tallest building in Nashville, and in the whole state of Tennessee, is the AT&T Building. It stands an incredible 617 feet (188 meters) tall! This giant was finished in 1994. Right behind it is the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, which is 542 feet (165 meters) high.

Nashville started building tall structures a long time ago. The first high-rise building was the First National Bank Building, built in 1905. It was 168 feet (51 meters) tall and had 12 floors. Today, it's known as the Downtown Courtyard Hotel. As of May 2024, Nashville has more than 200 completed high-rise buildings!

The city has been growing very fast, especially since 2015. Many new tall buildings have been built. Out of Nashville's 34 towers that are 300 feet (91 meters) or taller, 22 of them were finished after 2015. There are also many new buildings being built right now. In July 2022, there were 45 cranes working in downtown Nashville, showing just how much the city is expanding!
