Perimeter Park Executive Center (PPEC) provides office, work, and meeting spaces that are easily accessible and centrally located in Nashville, Tennessee. We have been providing office space, administrative support, and meeting space in Nashville since 1984.
Whether you choose a private interior or window office, a dedicated desk in a coworking office, or a virtual office package, we’re sure we can find the perfect workspace solution for your business. We offer short-term agreements, little capital expenditure, and total flexibility – things you simply cannot get with most commercial office space.
And, unlike some of our competitors, what you see is what you get. We disclose all service charges and additional fees prior to you signing your agreement.
The questions asked are a great place to start whether you are looking for your first office, or just a new office. I thought I would take a minute to answer the questions for someone considering Perimeter Park for their office location.
1. Where is the space located?
We are ideally located right off of I-24 at exit 56, close to the convergence center of the three major interstates – I-24, I-40, and I-65. This central location and immediate interstate access make the office easily accessible from any surrounding area. Additionally, an MTA bus stop is only a block away.
2. What amenities do you offer?
The following amenities come with your new Nashville office space:
furnished reception area
receptionist greeting and announcing of your guests
kitchen area with coffee, hot water, and filtered water
WiFi
utilities and cleaning service
video security monitoring
plenty of free surface parking
3. What’s the lease term?
Instead of long-term leases, Perimeter Park offers short-term, flexible agreements designed to help start-ups and small businesses succeed. Our standard term is twelve months, but we offer six month options as well. You can easily grow your business with us, as we allow you to add additional office space at any time during your agreement. Start with one small office, and move to a larger one or add additional offices as needed.
4. Can I terminate the lease?
Our short-term agreements negate the need to worry about having to terminate a lease. All offices are move-in ready and do not require any type of build-out or renovations. Our uniform office policy means that we take care of paint, carpet cleaning, etc., so there is usually no restoration needed when an agreement ends.
5. What deposit or corporate guarantee does the landlord need?
Our standard security deposit on agreements is twice the monthly office fee. For example, if your office is $700, the security deposit would be $1400. Security deposits are refundable upon satisfactory completion of the agreement or transferable to a larger or additional office. Unlike larger corporations, as a local, stand-alone office center, we have the ability to work with people on deposits as necessary.
6. How flexible is the office setting?
You can move to a larger office or add additional offices as available at any point during your agreement term. Downsizing is usually only allowed at the end of your agreement term.
7. Are there enough parking spaces?
Our building has ample free surface parking.
8. What kind of office layouts do you offer?
Most of our offices are basic rectangles or squares ranging in size from 100 sq. ft. to 250 sq. ft. Smaller offices can be configured for 1-2 people. Larger offices can be configured in an open floor plan for four or more.

9. Is the building secure?
Our building has key card access after hours and on weekends. Additionally, our suite also has security cameras and key card access, and all offices are individually keyed. Our front desk is staffed whenever our office is open.
10. How is the building maintained?
Our on-site staff works closely with building management and maintenance to take care of any problems that might arise. We are here to deal with those issues so that you never have to. Building management is also located in our building, so issues are dealt with quickly. Our area of the building has 24/7 A/C and heat, so you will never have to pay additional fees for A/C service or maintenance. Standard cleaning service is also included at no additional charge, and we have used the same janitorial service and team of cleaners for almost 10 years.
We also offer numerous other amenities that do not come with conventional office space, like furnished meeting rooms, a reception area, waiting room, break room, included utilities, internet service, and telephone equipment and service.
If you have any other questions, we would be glad to answer them and show you why Perimeter Park is an awesome place for your business.
After our consolidation to one floor, our General Manager, Sherry Cheatham, had a somewhat difficult time finding the perfect office. The running joke was that she was in a different spot every couple of weeks. Prior to her final (we hope!) move, she had been using the Meeting Room as her office. We decided, however, that converting it back to a Meeting Room would be a better use of that space.
Sherry ended up moving to a much smaller office, which had previously been used as a small conference/interview room.
Before: General Manager’s Office set up as a meeting room
Since this office was adjacent to the reception area and in the direct line of sight from the front door, we knew that it would also need to tie in to the color scheme of red, grays, and black. We chose a dark charcoal gray for the back wall and painted the off-set column a red color to compliment the red in the reception area chairs.
After: General Manager’s Office
To add to the more modern and stream-lined feel, we chose an IKEA sit/stand desk in black/gray and charcoal gray filing cabinets from Staples.

A red and white tulip chair from Overstock.com and “Nashville” art print completed the “Nashville Office” look.
Previously, we looked at our Reception Area makeover. Next, we updated our in-suite Meeting Room with new IKEA Bekant conference tables and black screen back plastic shell task chairs from The Classy Home.
Meeting Room before
We had previously painted the white board wall in a deep purple accent color and added a modern print from art.com.
We couldn’t find artwork to tie in with our reception area scheme, so we bought canvases and acrylic paints from JoAnn and created our own modern artwork to tie the purple in the Meeting Room to the red in the Reception Area.
New Nashville Meeting Room Artwork
The movable IKEA tables allow for several different room configurations, and the sleek modern furniture give the space a roomy feel. Extra stacking chairs offer seating for up to 16 people.

Perimeter Park Executive Center held our annual Chili Cook-Off on Thursday, October 22nd. This year there were four entries, with heat levels ranging from mild to hot, so we had a great mix of heat and flavors. Participants were Kristen Burnett and Lisa Castillo from Kineticom, Sheree Thornton from CNR Foods, and Nancy Wike from PPEC.

In addition to chili and all the fixin’s, PPEC General Manager Sherry Cheatham brought homemade chicken and rice soup, and CNR Foods donated spicy and mild chicken tenders and biscuits from one of their local Popeye’s locations.

After a “heated” contest (wink, wink), this year’s winner was Lisa Castillo with her “Chili Caliente.” Second place went to Kristen Burnett’s “Cowboy Chili.” Both ladies work for Kineticom, so it was a sweep!

In our e-commerce-driven world, it is easier than ever before to telecommute or start a home-based business. While many people enjoy the benefits of running a business or working from home – flexibility, less stress, healthier lifestyle, more work-life balance – there are some drawbacks as well. These can include distractions from other family members, isolation, and negative perceptions by others, including the impression that you lack a professional business image. Also, many people do not feel comfortable giving out their home address or phone number, or having clients come to their homes for meetings, and the local Starbucks isn’t always the best option or atmosphere in which to do business.
Perimeter Park Executive Center offers affordable, flexible business solutions tailored to the specific needs and budget of the home-based business owner or telecommuter. For as little as $150 per month, our Virtual Office Programs can give your business:
