Monroe Investment Partners, LLC invests in value-add real estate opportunities primarily in Nashville, TN.

Most notably, in 2000 Monroe began assembling more than 100 acres of industrial property along the Cumberland River across from Downtown Nashville.  Monroe planned and zoned the area for mixed use development with permissible building heights of 25 stories which can be increased to 38 stories through bonuses.  The area now known as River North is one of the hottest mixed-use environments in the country.

Monroe launched River North with a 40-acre first phase called The Landings and began road and infrastructure construction in the Spring of 2021.   Monroe sold five riverfront development sites within the Landings to a venture between Creek Lane Capital and MRP Realty which began constructing three of their five planned buildings in the Summer of 2021.  These three buildings were completed and in lease-up by Spring 2025 creating a sense of place within River North by bringing a mix of office, residential, retail, services, multiple food & beverage options, as well as the first installment of a mile long riverfront park within River North that will ultimately extend south past Nissan Stadium.   Thoughtfully designed and carefully executed, River North is one of the most desirable mixed use waterfront environments in the nation and is expected to contain more than $7.0 billion in new construction when fully developed. 

Citing Nashville’s well-educated workforce and the vibrant culture necessary to attract top tier talent, Oracle Corporation acquired more than 65 acres within River North in June 2021 to create a 1.2 million sf office campus to serve their growing Oracle Cloud business.  At a projected cost of more than $1.2 billion and an annual payroll of more than $1 billion for 8,500 employees, the Oracle campus heralds a new era of development on the East Bank of the Cumberland River.

In October of 2021 GBT Realty purchased the last two remaining parcels situated between Top Golf and Monroe’s remaining holdings at the northern extent of River North.  Then in April 2024 Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison announced that Nashville will become Oracle’s world headquarters.  Oracle then spent another $100 million in Spring 2025 by acquiring both GBT parcels and the second of two parcels it acquired from Creek Lane/MRP along the river.  Oracle’s plans as most recently announced indicate the campus will contain 2.7mm square feet and cost $4.5 billion, with project commencement in early 2026.

Monroe continues to own 21.8 acres of land zoned for high intensity mixed use development in River North.   These parcels enjoy tremendous views in all directions including south to Downtown with Oracle’s verdant, low rise world headquarters campus in the foreground.  Monroe also owns 2.1 acres of land across from the New $2.2 Billion Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans, and centrally located within the entire East Bank.
