Atlanta-based New City Properties recently signed the first office lease at its adaptive reuse development in Nashville, Tenn. Specifically, communications agency Dalton will be relocating its Nashville office to the Neuhoff District mixed-use redevelopment in Germantown.

Acquired by New City Properties in 2019, the distinctive Neuhoff site spreads across 14 acres on the west bank of the Cumberland River in the eastern section of the Germantown neighborhood. Originally constructed in the early 1920s as a meat-packing facility, the site has since housed the Nashville Jazz Workshop and the Nashville Cultural Arts Project, as well as serving as a personal studio for renowned singer and songwriter John Prine.

Partnering with world-class studios, New City embarked on reinventing Neuhoff as a mixed-use waterfront development with city-defining architecture. Project partners included Smith Gee as the architect of record for the adaptive reuse component; S9 Architects as the project’s design architect and master planner; and HKS Architects as the architect of record for the site.

When complete, the project will incorporate more than 914,000 square feet comprising new Nashville office space, as well as retail and residential components.

Following continued business growth driven by added clients and revenue at the agency, Dalton reportedly welcomed the opportunity to be one of the first to participate in the transformational waterfront project.

“This move continues an exciting new chapter for the agency and our office in Nashville,” said Jim Dalton, chairman of the tenant agency. “The opportunity to move into the vibrant Germantown area, while remaining close to our previous East Nashville location, will provide multiple benefits for the agency and our clients. We believe relocation into the transformational Neuhoff Project makes a statement about our commitment to this city and our goal of further growth for Dalton in this market. Neuhoff is spectacular and we couldn’t be happier.”

“We’re extremely pleased to make this announcement with Dalton,” said Jim Irwin, president of New City Properties. “Dalton understands the culture and community that we’ve worked so hard to create at Neuhoff and we couldn’t be more pleased. This brings together a special agency with a special project and we look forward to many more announcements in the near future.”
