In October 2025 I represented Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey in the sale of his four-bedroom condominium at Poston at the Park in Midtown Nashville. The home went under contract 11 days after it was listed and closed at $3.75 million to a buyer based in London, which placed it among Nashville’s top ten condominium sales of 2025 and more than 40 percent above other recent sales in the building. This is how that sale came together and what it tells a Nashville luxury seller today.
Jalen Ramsey is from Tennessee and owned a 3,323-square-foot condominium at Poston at the Park, the Midtown building that sits beside Centennial Park: four bedrooms, three and a half baths, floor-to-ceiling windows, several private balconies and panoramic views of the Nashville skyline. He bought it in 2019 while playing in the NFL.
In 2025 he was traded from the Miami Dolphins to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and with his career moving north the Nashville condo no longer fit his life. He needed it sold at a strong price, without a public spectacle, during a football season. The complication was the obvious one for any public figure: a listing with his name attached would draw attention from fans, media and curious neighbors before the home ever reached a serious buyer, and every showing would carry a privacy risk.
Two things were uncertain. First, price. The building had its own recent sales, and none of them were close to where this residence deserved to trade. Pricing to the building’s comparables would have left money on the table; pricing above them meant we had to make the case for why this unit was different.
Second, exposure. A well-known seller attracts attention that has nothing to do with buying, and every showing had to be a real one. The sale had to reach the buyers who could actually pay the number without turning the home into a news story while it was still on the market.
I treated this as two jobs: protect the client, and find the one buyer for whom this home was worth the number. It is the same process I use for every public figure, athlete and music industry client, described on my Discreet Representation page, and the Ramsey sale followed it.
Before a home is photographed or priced, the client and I settle which details stay out of the marketing and the conversation, and that agreement drives every decision that follows.
Poston at the Park is one of a small number of Nashville buildings where the best units trade well above the general condo market. The size, the view line and the floor plan put this residence in a different bracket from the typical sale in the building, and the pricing and the marketing said so.
Showings were qualified before anyone walked in and scheduled around the client, so the home was never on open display. Every person who saw it was a real buyer.
Through Aperture Global’s platform the listing was exposed to buyers outside the local market. The buyer who stepped up was based in London.
Decisions on offers and terms are made quickly when the seller’s own team is kept informed, which matters for a client in season in another city.
Coverage ran after closing, not while the home was for sale: a Realtor.com exclusive on October 15, 2025, followed by MarketWatch, The Tennessean and the Nashville Business Journal.
The condo went under contract 11 days after it was listed and closed on October 1, 2025 at $3.75 million. The sale ranked among Nashville’s top ten condominium sales of 2025, was one of the highest price-per-square-foot condominium closings in the city that year, and set a new benchmark inside Poston at the Park, closing more than 40 percent higher than other recent transactions in the building. The buyer was based in London. Jalen’s 2019 purchase price was $2.15 million, so the sale represented a $1.6 million gain.
In my own words to Realtor.com at the time: “I was honored to work with Jalen on this transaction. He trusted us to handle the process with discretion and privacy, and delivering that level of care is something I take great pride in.”
The building’s last sale is not your ceiling. In a luxury condominium the best residence in the stack trades on its own terms, and the pricing has to be built from the home itself, not from the average of the floors below it.
The marketing has to travel. The buyer for a $3 million-plus Nashville condo is as likely to be in London or Los Angeles as in Green Hills, so the listing has to reach beyond the local market.
Discretion and speed are not opposites. A quiet, well-run process with qualified showings produced a contract in 11 days.
This applies equally to a Belle Meade estate, a Green Hills home or a high-rise condo in the Gulch or Midtown. If you are buying rather than selling, the same discretion applies in reverse: I can see homes before they are publicly listed and keep a buyer’s identity out of the negotiation until closing.
Nashville’s luxury condominium market is now an international one. When a buyer in London pays a building record for a home beside Centennial Park, that is not a one-off; it is what a city with no state income tax, a growing airport and a global brand looks like from the outside. For sellers, the opportunity is real, but it only shows up when the home is priced on its own merits and marketed to the buyers who are actually paying these numbers.
$3.75 million, closed on October 1, 2025. He purchased it in 2019 for $2.15 million.
It went under contract 11 days after it was listed. At the top of the market, a correctly priced unit in a sought-after building can go under contract in days when the right buyers see it first; overpriced units in the same buildings can sit for months.
Poston at the Park, 3000 Poston Avenue, in Midtown Nashville beside Centennial Park. The residence is 3,323 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths.
The buyer was based in London, according to the press release reported by Realtor.com. No further details about the buyer are public.
Yes. The listing agreement can be handled through an entity or representative, marketing materials can omit identifying details, and showings can be restricted to vetted buyers. Public records will eventually show the transfer, but the sale itself does not have to be marketed under the owner’s name.
No. Alex represents buyers and sellers of luxury homes across Nashville, including clients relocating to the city, owners selling estate properties and clients buying and selling at the same time. Public figures are one of the groups he works with most often, and the same discretion is available to any client who wants it.
