NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Richmond, Virginia-based Lingerfelt Companies announce the acquisition of the Bank of America Plaza Tower in Nashville's downtown market.  Bank of America Plaza, located at 414 Union Street, totals 435,525 square feet, is 21 stories and occupies a half city block in the central business district.  The seller was Parkway Properties (PKY) and this is Lingerfelt's second acquisition from Parkway in the last two years.
