ABOUT US

In 2005, Horrell Company celebrated 50 years in commercial real estate.

Henry Horrell started Horrell Refrigeration in 1943 at 1416 Church Street in Nashville, providing refrigeration for local grocery stores. By 1955, his business flourished and he gradually grew to adding site consultation and development services to the grocers.
Early on, these services were approximately only 10% of his business.

In 1955, to expand on the growth of products and services, Horrell Refrigeration made a move to the corner of Sidco Drive and Thompson Lane resulting in taking on their first two tenants, Nashville Stationary who occupied the former Church Street address, and Heil Quaker who occupied part of the property purchased on Sidco Drive.

By 1972, site consultation, development, property ownership and management grew to approximately 90% of Horrell Refrigeration’s business. Thus, Horrell Refrigeration was sold and Horrell Realty & Investments was established to create and grow the brokerage division of commercial real estate in Nashville. Henry’s three sons, Fred, Steve and John became involved in the property investments and development, while additional brokers were brought in to handle the brokerage of sales and leases for industrial properties.

With the years of dedication of the Horrell Family, along with participating brokers and staffing, the company has grown to be one of Nashville’s leading industrial real estate firms.
