JE Dunn Construction’s office relocation recasts Lipman Brothers warehouse in Nashville

JE Dunn Construction will relocate its Nashville office to 29 Hermitage Avenue, where the company’s adaptive reuse project is converting a former Lipman Brothers liquor warehouse to an innovative creative class office. Interior and exterior renovations have begun on the two-story, 1930s brick building in the Rolling Mill Hill area of downtown. The project will maintain the character of the warehouse while incorporating contemporary industrial designs and landscape elements. 

Eric Klotz of Earl Swensson Associates (ESa) is primary designer for the remodeling, which will also feature an exterior wall mural created by Adrianne Tuck Simonetti.

JE Dunn has entered into a long-term commitment for the property, which has been in the Lipman family for more than six decades and once served as a warehouse and company headquarters location for Lipman Brothers, the oldest and largest liquor and wine wholesaler in Tennessee.

Matt Woodard of Chas. Hawkins Company Inc. arranged the transaction, with Michael Hayes and Brandon Kuvara of C.B. Ragland Company representing JE Dunn.

The project, which will pursue LEED certification, is scheduled for May 2018 completion.
