Discovering Palmer Plaza

Palmer Plaza was completed in 1986. It is a modern office building designed for many different businesses. Imagine working high up with great views of the city!

One cool feature of the building is a fitness center. It is located on the very top floor, the rooftop. This means people working there can exercise with an amazing view.

A Special Office: Japan's Consulate

On the ninth floor of Palmer Plaza, you'll find a very important office. It is the Consulate-General of Japan, Nashville.

A consulate is like a smaller version of an embassy. It helps citizens from its home country who are living or traveling abroad. It also works to build good relationships between its home country and the country it's in. So, this office helps Japanese people in Nashville and connects Japan with Tennessee.
