Nashville real estate developer and investor David Creed has sold a Music Row building originally housing Decca Records for $2.3 million.
According to a Davidson County Register of Deeds document, the new owner is a trust that include Los Angeles music industry official Tyler Bacon and his wife Leslie Bacon. Tyler Bacon’s company, Position Music, focuses on licensing and synchronization, marketing, A&R and artist management, according to its website.
27 Music Square E.
Located at 27 Music Square E., the 0.17-acre property offers a modernist building with a bold exterior color scheme element. It is unclear if the building, which was constructed for Decca Records in the 1970s, has a tenant.
Creed paid $1.85 million for the property in October 2021 (read here), with the seller in that transaction an LLC that included brothers Del Bryant, former president of BMI, and Dane Bryant, ex-music director for the late Olivia Newton John.
Creed and Atlanta-based Portman Holdings developed a nearby Midtown site with Moore Building.
The Position Music website lists 37 company individuals. Bacon could not be reached for comment.
“27 Music Square East is an incredibly important part of Music Row history as it was the recording studio Owen Bradley built for his Decca Records,” Creed emailed the Post. “We were focused on finding a buyer in the music industry and we are thrilled to have sold this asset to Tyler. We are very bullish on Nashville urban real estate and we will continue to search for incredible historic properties to purchase and preserve.”
Creed was represented by Stan Snipes, president and principal broker with Nashville’s Snipes Properties. The Bacons did not have broker representation.
