Holland & Knight has relocated its Nashville office to Symphony Place, taking a significant block of space in one of the city’s premier office towers. The law firm is now occupying seven full floors totaling 145,000 square feet, becoming the building’s anchor tenant. Symphony Place is owned by Highwoods Properties, which positions the asset as a high-profile home for professional services firms in the urban core.
The move situates Holland & Knight in the heart of Nashville’s SoBro neighborhood, an area that has seen sustained growth in recent years. From this location, the firm will have convenient access to major corporate headquarters, local and federal courts, hotels, and a range of entertainment venues. The site also places the firm near the emerging East Bank development area, which is drawing new investment and activity to the broader downtown district.
Building ownership has recently invested in upgrades at Symphony Place, including an updated lobby and the introduction of a new amenity level. These enhancements are aimed at improving the tenant experience and keeping the tower competitive within the downtown office market. The combination of building improvements and a sizable anchor tenant lease underscores Symphony Place’s role within Nashville’s Class A office inventory.
Matt Burnstein of Holland & Knight noted that Symphony Place played an early role in the transformation of the SoBro neighborhood. He added that, with the East Bank now taking shape, the firm’s new location is intended to align the practice with Nashville’s ongoing evolution and future growth. The relocation is framed as both a strategic real estate decision and a signal of the firm’s long-term commitment to the market.
The move also marks another step in Holland & Knight’s expansion in Tennessee following its 2023 combination with Waller Lansden Dortch & Davis. That combination significantly increased the firm’s presence in the state, and the decision to anchor Symphony Place reinforces the integration of the two practices under one roof in Nashville. While specific lease terms were not disclosed, the scale of the commitment and the prominent location highlight the continuing importance of high-quality, well-located office space for major law firms and other professional services users in the downtown corridor.
