What does it take to build iconic buildings that shape an entire city?

Today I sat down with real estate developer Tony Giarratana, who played a key role in developing several iconic downtown Nashville properties, including the 505 building where the Greatness Factory is located. The conversation explores Tony’s entrepreneurial journey, his philosophy on development and leadership, and the lessons he learned while building large-scale real estate projects.
