Parking under the park

Financed with General Obligation bonds issued by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville, the combined cost of the parking structure and Public Square Park is approximately $36.9 million.

The project was completed in less than two years. The facility was designed to permit mixed uses on the surface so that the edges of the Public Square could accommodate additional buildings in the future.
