Giarratana is exploring the possibility of constructing a 17-story mixed-use tower on Nashville’s popular “Rock Block.” The proposed tower would be located at 2200-2204 Elliston Place and would replace the current building that houses Corner Bar.
The development plans include 356 apartment units, ground-level retail and restaurant space, as well as a five-story parking garage on an adjacent lot.
Cooke/Wilson Properties owns both properties where Giarratana’s tower will be built. According to public records, Cooke purchased the site for Corner Bar in 1996 for $1.59 million and acquired the neighboring site at 209 22nd Ave N. in2024 for $8.3 million to accommodate the planned parking garage.
According to reports from Nashville Business Journal , Cooke has entered into a ground lease agreement with Giarratana for these Midtown properties. As one of Tennessee’s leading developers, Giarratana has an impressive portfolio of downtown condos and apartments under his belt already; he is currently working on his largest project yet – a towering condominium complex near downtown YMCA that will stand at an impressive height of60 stories upon completion.
