Oracle sets Nov. 10 groundbreaking for $4.5 billion Nashville East Bank campus

Oracle sets Nov. 10 groundbreaking for $4.5 billion Nashville East Bank campus

Oracle will hold an invitation-only groundbreaking ceremony Nov. 10 for its planned world headquarters on Nashville’s East Bank, then host three days of public events at the site from Nov. 12 to 14.

The public events will take place at 2300 Bowline Ave. and are expected to include displays of three-dimensional campus models, artificial intelligence demonstrations, live music, food trucks and opportunities to meet Oracle leaders. The company says residents can ask questions about the development and its timeline. Registration is available online.

The 82-acre project has been in the works since Metro Council approved Oracle’s Nashville development plan in 2021. The company spent at least $335 million on more than 80 acres of East Bank property, and the projected investment has grown from $1.2 billion to $4.5 billion. Oracle initially estimated the project would bring about 8,500 jobs to Nashville.

Work so far has included installing underground infrastructure and grading the site. Oracle submitted its final site plan to city officials Sept. 1. The mixed-use development is planned to include offices, retail buildings, a Nobu hotel and a pedestrian bridge across the Cumberland River to Germantown.

Plans also call for public paths, greenways and a central park of at least two acres. The riverfront greenway is complete, according to the project information.

“ We are excited to be a part of this community and we want to share that excitement with our neighbors while giving them a chance to get to know us better,” said Scott Twaddle, Oracle’s senior vice president of development. He said the company would include local vendors and nonprofits in the celebration.

Oracle has described Nashville as an important and growing hub for its cloud and artificial intelligence work. The public events will offer residents a chance to learn more about a large development that is poised to reshape a section of the East Bank.
