Oracle Breaks Ground on $4.5 Billion Nashville Campus
Oracle began construction on a massive global headquarters and computing hub in Nashville, pledging 8,500 jobs by 2031 in exchange for millions in government incentives.
Oracle broke ground on November 10, 2026, for a $4.5 billion global headquarters and computing hub on the East Bank in Nashville, Tennessee. The 82-acre riverfront development will include up to 23 buildings providing 1.3 million square feet of office space dedicated to AI, cloud, and healthcare technology. The campus will also feature retail pavilions and a 120-room Nobu hotel.
The project includes $175 million for public infrastructure, including a public park and a pedestrian bridge across the Cumberland River connecting the site to the Neuhoff District. The first buildings are scheduled to open in 2030. In exchange for the investment, the company will receive a $65 million state grant and up to $175 million in Metro property-tax incentives.
Oracle has committed to creating 8,500 permanent jobs by 2031, with an interim goal of 2,500 high-paying jobs by 2027. However, the company reported only 827 net job creations through the end of 2025. Some local leaders have expressed the need to monitor these commitments following global workforce reductions driven by AI adoption. To support its local integration, Oracle recently provided a $10 million commitment to the Nashville Symphony and a $1.55 million grant to Trinity Community Commons.
