AT&T Building, Nashville
The AT&T Building is a tall skyscraper, standing at 617 feet (188 meters) with 33 stories. It was completed in August 1994 and was designed to function as an office tower, capable of accommodating up to 2,000 employees. As of 2008, two different companies were operating within the building. At present, it holds the title of the tallest building in the state of Tennessee. The building is located on a 2.7-acre (11,000 square meters) property on Commerce Street, situated between 3rd and 4th Avenues North. It covers an area equivalent to about 1 and 2/3 city blocks.
Inside the building, there is a notable three-story winter garden atrium serving as the entrance area, and it also includes a nine-story underground parking garage with a capacity for 1,300 vehicles. Its unique design and dark coloring have earned it the nickname "Batman Building" because it resembles the mask worn by the superhero character Batman.
AT&T, formerly known as BellSouth Telecommunications and South Central Bell, has been using the building as its Tennessee headquarters since its opening in 1994. Before 2006, AT&T was the sole occupant of the building, but currently, it occupies approximately 500,000 square feet (46,000 square meters) of office space.
The local TV station WTVF Channel 5 has two live remote-controlled video cameras set up on the western spire. These cameras were installed in 1995 and 1996 and serve the purpose of offering scenic views of Nashville and helping to cover news events. They are still in use despite the station not using office space for their operation.
