Fast-growing MediCopy Services moving HQ to OneC1TY campus

• Two other unnamed tech firms also coming to office building near the 28th/31st Avenue Connector on Charlotte Avenue.

A fast-growing health information management company has signed a lease to move its headquarters to a 9,000-square-foot space in the first office building at the OneC1TY mixed-use campus on Charlotte Avenue.

Nashville-based MediCopy Services Inc. joins Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance and the Cumberland Center, a business and university alliance, as tenants in the 120,000-square-foot building, which is expected to be completed in mid-October.

The four-story building is about 85 percent leased, including space OneC1TY's General Manager Ryan Doyle said will be occupied by a pair of other technology-related tenants that already have local offices.

OneC1TY's master developer, Dallas-based Cambridge Holdings Inc., also plans soon to break ground on a 270-unit apartment building at the 19-acre site near the 28th/31st Avenue Connector. By the year's end, Cambridge Holdings also plans to break ground on a second office building.

The C1TYblox mini retail district at OneC1TY currently has Nashville Sports Leagues as a tenant, with raw food restaurant Avo and CrossFit Nashville, among others, expected to move into the recycled shipping containers in the coming weeks.

MediCopy will have roughly 50 employees at its new headquarters, to which the company will move from the office building at 210 12th Ave. S. in Nashville's Gulch area.

"As the city continues to grow, it is nice to be planted right smack dab in the middle of the trendiest, most innovative part of the city," MediCopy CEO Elliott Holt said. Holt started MediCopy fifteen years ago and grew it to be one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.

MediCopy partners with hospitals and physician practices to securely and efficiently deliver protected health information to requesting parties.

"It's exciting for us to have a consumer-focused health care information technology company to move into the building," Doyle said.

Roughly 140 Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance staff members will be included in the move to the new building at OneC1TY. Middle Tennessee's largest orthopedic surgery practice will occupy roughly half of the overall space in that building. Currently, the surgery group — with 53 physicians and 440 support staff overall — has its largest office, where most of its physicians are based, at 301 21st Ave. N.

In addition to the TOA-anchored building, Cambridge Holdings plans at least four more office buildings at OneC1TY, Doyle said. And another residential project is planned in addition to the 270-unit apartment community.

Doyle declined to comment on a lawsuit several OneC1TY neighbors filed recently in Davidson County Circuit Court against Cambridge Holdings, its main contractor, engineer and blasting subcontractor. The homeowners and a church claim blasting at the site is damaging both their properties and quality of life and are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
