Raleigh-based Highwoods Properties announced today that it has been selected to build a new $48.4 million headquarters in Nashville for LifePoint Hospitals.

The project calls for a seven-story, 203,000-square-foot building and structured parking in the Brentwood area of Nashville.

LifePoint will occupy the entire building.

Highwoods will also build 25,000 square feet of retail adjacent to the building that will be available for lease.

The project is being built on property Highwoods owns in its 23-acre Seven Springs Park. The park is currently home to a 130,000-square-foot office building that Highwoods constructed.

Plans for the park call for four office buildings and two retail buildings with 715,000 square feet in total.

Construction on LifePoint’s building is expected to begin in May and be completed by the end of 2013.
