LifeWay moves forward with possible sale of property

NASHVILLE — Based on the positive results of a feasibility study, LifeWay Christian Resources is moving forward with the possible sale of its Nashville property.
In mid-2014, LifeWay announced a preliminary study of the feasibility of selling the ministry’s 14.5-acre campus in downtown Nashville that would allow the organization to relocate to facilities better suited to LifeWay’s future.
“The results of the study confirmed there was interest favorable enough for us to take another step,” said Thom S. Rainer, president and CEO of LifeWay.
LifeWay has had conversations with local, regional and national entities about selling the property and accepted offers through mid-January.
“We’ll then begin an involved process of studying, comparing and considering any offers we receive,” Rainer said.
LifeWay’s downtown campus includes nine buildings with more than 1 million square feet of office, warehouse and parking space.
If the property does sell, Rainer said his “very strong preference is for the ministry to stay in downtown Nashville.” LifeWay is looking at several pieces of property in the downtown area as potential sites to build a new building.
