ConDig (05-Dec–24) Swedish developer and contractor Skanska has secured a $126 million contract to revamp the historical Legislative Plaza in Nashville, Tennessee.

Under the deal with the Tennessee Department of General Services, the contractor will complete office space renovation, rework of the War Memorial Plaza, upgrade to Motlow Tunnel, and modernization of elevators, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. 

Built in 1975, the plaza provides space for public events and below houses government office spaces and committee rooms for the Tennessee General Assembly. On the plaza stands the Civil War Women’s Memorial and a monument to the Tennesseans who served in the Korean War.

Work is scheduled to kick off in January next year and is slated for completion in January 2027.

Last month, Skanska drove off with a $625 million design-build contract to revamp the I-95 highway in Rhode Island. 

Skanska announced it had secured two data center deals totaling $321 million earlier in October.
