NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a leader in
apartment development and operations, today announced the start of
preleasing at The Morris, a luxury mixed-use apartment community
located along Music Row at the site of country-music icon
Dale Morris' former office.
The LMC development, featuring 344 apartment homes and 6,000
square feet of ground-floor retail space, maintains the same
address as Morris' former office – 818 19th Avenue South
– situated just southwest of downtown. Morris, a key figure in the
country music industry for more than 40 years, has managed
high-profile artists such as Alabama, Kenny
Chesney, Jake Owen,
Martina McBride and Old
Dominion. First move-ins are anticipated for late summer.
"It's an honor that LMC named an apartment community after me,
particularly one that so perfectly reflects the beauty and artistry
of an industry I dedicated my life to," Morris said. "Music Row
obviously has special meaning for me, and it's humbling to know
that my name will continue to be attached to the location for the
foreseeable future."
As an ode to Morris and the rich music history of Nashville, the community's most distinctive
features are a professional recording studio and rooftop
performance stage. Additional community amenities include a rooftop
club with pool, fitness center, clubroom and skyline views of Music
City, a seventh-floor outdoor terrace with grill stations, a pet
spa and bike parking and repair station.
Situated in the Midtown submarket, The Morris benefits from a
well-placed location within walking distance of downtown,
Vanderbilt University and The Gulch.
The latter is an urban development on the edge of the Central
Business District and home to various restaurant, retail and
entertainment options. The Gulch is also home to numerous live
music performances.
Nearby attractions include the Tennessee Performing Arts Center,
The Pantheon, Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, Bridgestone
Arena and Nissan Stadium, home of the NFL's Tennessee Titans. The
community is also within a short distance of many of the city's key
thoroughfares, including Interstates 65, 40 and 24.
Morris' management efforts have led to 16 Entertainer of the
Year awards collaborating with Barbara
Hardin on Alabama and
Clint Higham with Kenny Chesney. The owner of highly regarded
event production company Morris Sound and Light, Morris has also
teamed with Marc Oswald to help
steer the careers of Big & Rich, Hank
Williams Jr., Gretchen Wilson
and many others.
"It's not often that you have the opportunity to truly honor a
local icon with an apartment community, and we cannot think of many
who are more respected in Nashville than Dale," said Chris Cassidy, divisional president of the
Southeast Region for LMC. "We believe this community will make him
proud and be a stellar addition to Music Row and the City of Nashville."
The Morris consists of studio, 1- and 2-bedroom homes and is pet
friendly. Apartment interiors contain condo-level finishes,
including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, in-home
washers and dryers, ceiling fans and luxury wood-like flooring.
