Nashville, TN (5/14/2025) – InLight Real Estate Partners is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of its first ground-up development in Nashville, TN. AirPark West, is a two-building speculative development of 388,215 square feet on a 43.6-acres. Each of the buildings will be highly spec’d and will feature clear heights of 32 feet, a total of 339 auto parking spaces, 74 trailer parking spaces, 105 dock doors, and 4 drive-in doors, providing high levels of functionality for future tenants.
AirPark West is strategically located to the east of Nashville International Airport (BNA), just 2 miles away, and is conveniently situated between I-40 and I-24. This prime infill location places the development at the confluence of the region’s major logistics thoroughfares, making it accessible to 75% of all major US markets within a day’s drive. Major nearby occupiers include Amazon, FedEx, DHL, RXO, Ferguson, Wilson, Averitt, J.B. Hunt, Safeway, ATD, and Berry.
The project is set to break ground early Q3 2025, with an estimated completion date in Q3 2026.
Will Goodman of CBRE, Nashville, is appointed leasing broker and along with his team will be instrumental in securing tenants for this exceptional development.
David Burch, Jack Buckley, and Logan Schroeder-Stephens have been key team members working on this project, bringing their expertise and dedication to ensure its success.
Quote from; Jack Buckley, Vice President, InLight Real Estate Partners
“A first for InLight in Nashville but our 13th development and 26th closed investment since being founded in 2021.
AirPark West provides a unique opportunity to service the comprehensive range of industrial and logistics users that Nashville has and continues to attract, from what is arguably the most well-located development in the city, reaching approximately 1,000,000 residents within a 25-mile radius.
Nashville’s population growth continues to outpace the country overall, trending with other major growth cities such as Charlotte NC, Jacksonville FL, and Austin TX. As it relates to industrial real estate, Nashville represents a 224MM SF market, much of which exists to support national and regional distribution; largely due to its central location and access to a confluence of three major interstates. According to FedEx, more than 30% of the US population can be reached within a single day’s drive while 70% is reachable in two days.
Yet, against a backdrop of a growing population that is fueling the service sector and continued growing demand for e-commerce, just-in-time, same-day, and next-day delivery, just 76MM SF (all those buildings 25,000-125,000 SF) or 33% of Nashville’s industrial and logistics property inventory caters to such users and operators.
Each of the building’s depth at 210’ provides for great versatility to a single tenant or as multi-tenanted suites of 30,000 SF +.”
We look forward to the successful completion of AirPark West and the positive impact it will have on the Nashville industrial and logistics market.
