History
Draper Tower was built in 1989-1990,[1] at a cost of $15.5 million.[2] It was designed in the Modernist architectural style.[1] It was dedicated in 1991.[3][2]
The building stood next to the Sullivan Tower, and it was an expansion of the headquarters of LifeWay Christian Resources. It was named for James T. Draper Jr., the president of LifeWay Christian Resources from 1991 to 2006.[3] It was also known as Centennial Tower.[3]
The tower was demolished by Southwest Value Partners, a real estate development company based in San Diego, California, on January 6, 2018.[3] The company is expected to develop part of the Nashville Yards where it stood.[3]
LifeWay Christian Resources moved to its new headquarters in the Capitol View area.[3]
