The SunTrust Building, also known as the 4th and Church Building, is a high-rise office building in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The SunTrust Building is the 13th tallest building in Nashville, with 20 stories and a height of 292 ft (89 m).[3]

History

Although the building retains the SunTrust name, it is no longer owned or occupied by SunTrust.[4]

This building was built as the headquarters for Third National Corporation in 1968, and was designed by Brush, Hutchison, & Gwinn.[5] It was previously known as the Third National Bank Building,[6] prior to the SunTrust acquisition of Third National Corporation, and eventual name change in 1995.[7]

The site at 4th & Church was also home to the historic Maxwell House Hotel from 1859 until it burned and was destroyed by fire on Christmas Day in 1961.[8]

Tenants

The original tenant was Third National Corporation of Nashville, which became a subsidiary of SunTrust, who vacated the building to move to SunTrust Plaza.

Another intriguing previous tenant was the Signature Tower sales center and Giarratana Development offices.[9]

A popular current tenant is the Nashville City Club located on the 20th floor.[10]
