High-end developments reinvigorate downtown. Nashville has several large builds currently under construction, headlined by Oracle's project along the East Bank, a former industrial hub that is being reshaped into a major live-work-play center.

Vacancy in Rivergate-Hendersonville, the submarket containing East Nashville, sat at 5.4 percent in March, 460 basis points beneath its year-end 2019 level.
