Since 2000, Nashville has seen two urban construction booms (one prior to the Great Recession and the other after and continuing as of 2023) that have yielded multiple high-rises (defined by Emporis as buildings of a minimum of 115 feet tall). Of the city's 33 towers of 300 feet tall or taller as of April 2023, 23 have been completed since 2000. Of note, Nashville has a disproportionate number of buildings 300 feet and taller in relation to its overall metropolitan statistical area (MSA) population of about 2 million (2021 U.S. Census Bureau estimate). This is due, in part, to the tourism-centric city's multiple hotel towers and to many high-end condominium towers having multiple unit owners who also own other residential properties (often in other markets) and want a secondary residence in Music City. In contrast, and for comparison, Phoenix, with an MSA population of about 4.95 million (2021 estimate) offered only 21 buildings of 300 feet and taller as of April 2023.
