Williams Equities said it leased nearly 57,000 square feet in 2024 at 136 Madison Ave. In the most recent transaction at the Midtown South boutique property, the ownership group completed an 18,364-square-foot, full-floor renewal with technology firm Impact.com.

The latest transaction leaves Williams with just a single floor available. Earlier in 2024, Williams signed Peter Pennoyer Architects to a long-term renewal for 18,364 square feet and closed a long-term 20,000-square-foot extension with high-end furniture company Bernhardt Furniture for its flagship office and showroom.

French clothing and accessories company Lacoste also moved onto the top floor of the building this year, following an 18,364-square-foot lease it signed at the end of 2023.

“Companies continue to recognize the benefits of easily accessible and well-maintained boutique properties in Midtown South,” said Mac Roos of Colliers, who along with Andrew Roos, Michael T. Cohen and Jessica Verdi represented ownership in these transactions. “We value long-term relationships with our tenants, which is evident in the leasing we’ve accomplished at 136 Madison Ave.”

Alex Leopold of CBRE represented Impact.

City officials have tapped Boyle Investment Co. to redevelop Gallatin’s downtown square and create a new city hall. Gallatin, a town of 45,000, is a half-hour drive from Nashville.

Plans for the proposed development, which will take over two city-owned blocks, include a “major brand” hotel, residential units, open green spaces and retail and restaurant space.

The Nashville Business Journal reports the project is expected to generate over $40 million in property tax revenue over 20 years and have a $261 million economic impact during its construction phase. It is also expected to create more than 300 permanent jobs in the city.

Memphis-based Boyle Investment Co. opened its Nashville office in 2001. It owns and manages almost 4 million square feet of office and retail space, as well as a projected five million square feet in the development and planning stages.

Boyle is responsible for Middle Tennessee developments including Berry Farms, McEwen Northside, Meridian Cool Springs and Capitol View.
