The Music City Center is a 1,200,000 square feet (110,000 m2) convention center currently under construction in the SoBro (South of Broadway) district in Nashville, Tennessee.[1] The current convention center is the 115th largest in the country competing for one-fourth of the convention market. This new project will allow the city to compete for three-fourths of the convention market.[2] When completed, the building is expected to have 370,000 square feet (34,000 m2) of exhibit space and is being designed by Atlanta-based Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates.[3][4] The Music City Center is slated for completion in 2013.
It will be located on a 16 acres (6.5 ha) site bounded by 5th Avenue, 8th Avenue, Demonbreun Street, and Franklin Street, adjacent to the Bridgestone Arena and the Country Music Hall of Fame.[2]
