Bridgestone: More than Tires
With the lease expiring on Bridgestone’s current location in late 2017, the
company launched a nationwide search for a new headquarters location
to support future growth. The Nashville MSA will not only benefit from
the jobs Bridgestone brings, but also from planned improvements to
the surrounding community. Based on recommendations from a traffic
study, restriping and other enhancements are planned for streets
such as Fourth Avenue South and Molloy Street. Mayor Karl Dean
also revealed that Bridgestone Americas has committed to donating
$150,000 a year for five years, or $750,000 overall, to Metro School's
Music Makes Us program.
The Vanderbilt Effect
Multi-Family Fundamentals
The region gained approximately 8,000 jobs in the past year, and
unemployment has dropped to just 5.0%. Despite 7,500 units currently
under construction and another 7,000 proposed, the market continues
to experience a low vacancy rate of 4.1% and a rent growth rate of
4.3% in the past year. Capstone expects the vacancy rate to rise slightly
as new supply is introduced; however, the Nashville MSA will likely
continue to experience higher rent growth in the 3.5-4.0% range for
the coming year. Several companies have announced major expansions
in recent months, which will continue to drive demand for apartments.
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave $1 million to create a university in 1873.
Since that time, Vanderbilt University has become an internationally

recognized research university in Nashville, Tennessee, with strong
partnerships among its 10 schools, neighboring institutions, and
the community. Vanderbilt offers undergraduate programs in the
liberal arts and sciences, engineering, music, education, and human
development, as well as a full range of graduate and professional
degrees. An independent, privately supported university, Vanderbilt
is the largest private employer in Middle Tennessee and the second
largest private employer based in the state. In fact, an Austin-based
company was able to quantify the total annual economic and tax
revenue generated by the university and medical center. The study
included factors such as operations and construction, employment,
student and visitor spending, and business spending generated by
Vanderbilt-related activities. Combined, these factors amounted to a
contribution of $8.9 billion to the state economy in the 2013-14 fiscal
year.
