NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LMC, a leader
in apartment development and operations, today announced the grand
opening of The Morris, a luxury mixed-use apartment community
located along Music Row at the site of country-music icon
Dale Morris' former office.
The Nov. 2 grand-opening
celebration featured a bevy of music industry figures, including a
live performance from Benton Blount,
a finalist on America's Got Talent. Speakers at the event for the
music-themed development included country music singer Louise Mandrell, LMC Divisional President
Chris Cassidy and Morris, the
guest-of-honor. The Morris features a music studio, rooftop
performance stage and several other odes to the country music
industry.
"The Morris is among the most unique communities we've ever had
the pleasure of developing, and we're ecstatic to be a part of
Music Row at such an iconic location," Cassidy said. "The
grand-opening celebration was a fitting way to kick-start what we
believe will be an authentic Nashville experience for our music-loving
residents. We're truly honored to celebrate Dale's legacy with the
community and cannot wait to welcome home our new residents."
The community, which contains 344 apartment homes and 6,000 feet
of ground-floor retail, is adorned with music paraphernalia and
music-themed design throughout the building that closely reflects
the rich music history of Nashville. That includes two autographed
Alabama guitars from the band's
farewell tour in 2003, Morris' songwriting guitar and, in the
mailroom, big-picture views of Kenny
Chesney's stadium tours. The latter is significant because
no country music artist had previously done an entire tour of
stadiums. The leasing office features memorabilia from the Bama
House, which Morris created as a temporary 5,000-square-foot
Nashville home for Alabama.
Since relocating from his native South
Carolina to Nashville in
1969, Morris ascended from humble beginnings to develop a
generation of innovators – both as artists and executives. A career
that was unearthed by writing the song Don't Monkey With Another
Monkey's Monkey for Johnny Paycheck evolved into management
gigs with Alabama, Kenny Chesney, Jake
Owen, Martina McBride and
Old Dominion. An astonishing amount of
music history was developed at this site, as Morris holds the
distinction of becoming the first manager in the history of the
entertainment industry to help guide artists to 16 Entertainer of
the Year awards.
The Morris, located southwest of downtown in the Midtown
submarket, captures the aura of the Nashville music scene in which Morris has been
such an integral figure. The community is notable for its proximity
to downtown, Vanderbilt University and
The Gulch, an urban development on the edge of the Central Business
District that plays host to numerous live music performances.
The Morris consists of studio, 1- and 2-bedroom homes and is pet
friendly. Additional community amenities include a rooftop club
with pool, fitness center, clubroom, a seventh-floor outdoor
terrace with grill stations and skyline views of Music City, a pet
spa, and bike parking and repair station. Apartment interiors are
equipped with condo-level finishes, including quartz countertops,
stainless steel appliances, in-home washers and dryers, ceiling
fans and luxury wood-like flooring. Visit the community site at
