Elon Musk’s Boring Company on Tuesday announced the first residential stops for the Music City Loop, the tunneling company’s point-to-point transportation system under construction in Nashville, with three towers in downtown Nashville granted exclusive access.
The company announced the agreement in a post to Musk’s social media platform X, revealing residents of the Prime, Alcove, and Paramount towers will be able to use an exclusive elevator in order to access the novel transportation network.
“Residents will take an elevator directly to a Loop station within the building, board a Tesla, and be at the airport in ~9 minutes or Lower Broadway in ~2 minutes,” the Boring Company said in its post.

The addition of the residential towers to the Music City Loop network comes as the company explores a similar agreement with the Music City Center (MCC), as a motion unanimously approved by the Convention Center Authority in March grants an easement needed for the company’s current plans, while also leaving the door open for a stop along its route.
Charles Starkes, the CEO of MCC, confirmed at the time, “We look forward to having more discussions with them to determine if a tunnel station is the right fit for our facility.”
The Boring Company’s CEO, Steve Davis, confirmed last November that the company had launched discussions with business owners along the route of the Music City Loop and was hoping to have a total of 20 stops operational when the network launches next year.
Despite support from state officials and apparent backing from the city’s business community, as evidenced by the agreement with three residential towers in downtown Nashville, the Metro Nashville Council opposes the Boring Company’s efforts and, in March, passed a resolution opposing the 13-mile project.
The resolution highlighted The Boring Company’s alleged “lack of transparency, inadequate community and Metropolitan Council engagement, and troubling labor and safety practices,” while its sponsor argued, “Public land needs to be used for public good.”
As the council prepared to pass its resolution, the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce warned that heavy opposition to the transportation network could discourage investment in Nashville.
