PILLARS

We’d like to honor last week's #WorldEnvironmentDay with a spotlight on one of our projects that is a leader in sustainable design and practice. The Music City Center is an award-winning, LEED Gold Certified facility that not only held sustainability as a construction principle, but also integrates eco-conscious practices into its daily operations through energy conservation, water management, waste reduction, and a green roof. Caring for the world so Nashville can continue to be a choice destination for visitors of the world- nearly 300 events attracting 550,000 attendees a year. https://lnkd.in/gXrTDMej

We're thrilled to share Megan Bennett's reflections from the recent CNU 32 conference! Megan’s engagement and enthusiasm at events like these embody Pillars' core values of #curiosity and #community. Earlier this month, she immersed herself in sessions on resident-led planning and networked with peers, sparking new ideas and connections. Her passion not only enriches her personal growth but significantly contributes to our collective mission. Megan’s experiences at conferences like CNU 32 are pivotal in keeping us at the forefront of innovative and restorative urbanism. Her dedication and infectious energy inspire all of us at Pillars and drive our commitment to making a positive impact on communities. Thanks, Megan, for making us proud and exemplifying what it means to be a part of the Pillars community. #CNU32 #Urbanism #CommunityEngagement #PillarsPride

Our team greatly enjoyed the work we were able to do with Moody Nolan and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company on this project!

At Pillars, our "Days Away" program is a cornerstone of our core values: curiosity, creativity, and community. This initiative is much more than just time away from the desk—it's an invitation to step outside daily routines and immerse ourselves in diverse experiences that fuel personal and professional growth. Throughout the past year, our team members have embarked on journeys across the United States and abroad. Each destination has offered unique opportunities to delve into subjects that pique individual interests and resonate with our mission at Pillars. For instance, some explored national housing reform, while others embraced the Danish concept of "hygge," studied the intricacies of transit systems in Mexico City, or investigated environments designed for the Creative Class. These travels are not just about seeing new places; they're about bringing back transformative ideas and applying them creatively to our projects. By engaging deeply with various cultures and innovations, our employees return with enriched perspectives that enhance our work and strengthen our community. At Pillars, every journey is a chance to learn and grow. We celebrate these experiences, which not only foster personal growth but also drive our collective quest for innovation and connection. Our workplace thrives on the curiosity and creativity that these adventures stir, making us more than just colleagues—we're a community that grows together. #JoinPillars #DaysAway #Curiosity #Creativity #Community

Here's a peek behind the scenes at today's Pillars Retreat. Our annual Pillars Retreat was in full swing, and it's a special time for our team to come together, regroup, and set our sights on the year ahead. Away from the hustle of daily projects, we focused on growth and development, both individually and collectively as a team. Stay tuned for the exciting goals and initiatives we're cooking up! #JoinPillars #curiosity #creativity #community

We attended the ULI Nashville Talk Walk and Roll Event this morning! They dove deep into the design for complete and green streets on 12th Avenue South. This transformative project, totaling $8 million, boasts transit accessibility, painted conflict zones, rapid flashing beacon lighting, pedestrian mid-block crossings, and dedicated bike lanes. These improvements align perfectly with Metro's Vision Zero initiative for safer streets. Huge shoutout to former CM Colby Sledge of District 17 for his instrumental role in this success! #ULINashville #CompleteStreets #GreenStreets #VisionZero #safety #pedestriansafety #walk #bike

The corner of Fourth and Commerce in downtown Nashville is officially the new home of the Christian & Gospel Music Museum at the Dove Center.    At the groundbreaking on May 2, 2024, Pillars Development and BCMason Group were present to celebrate the start of construction. As construction managers of the exhibit space and general buildout respectively, both organizations are proud to collaborate on Nashville’s next musical milestone. Situated perfectly in the heart of Nashville, this museum celebrates the rich history and impact of Christian and gospel music. As they gear up for the Dove Awards later this year, we're honored to be part of preserving and promoting this important musical legacy. Stay tuned for updates!

Yesterday's 100 Wise Women event was a powerhouse of inspiration! Dr. Shanna Jackson's keynote reminded us to dream big and treat every interaction as a job interview. The energy at Urban League of Middle Tennessee events is always electric, leaving us refreshed and ready to conquer the world! #JoinPillars #curiosity #creativity #community
