Lake Palmer was a man-made lake in Nashville between 16th Ave and 17th Ave, south of Hayes St and north of West End Ave.{{cite web |title=Government-issued Permit naming location as Lake Palmer |url=http://metroepav.nashville.gov/epav/124741.aspx?Parcel=09212052600&DocType=&PerNum=201601990&PerType=&IssDate=&AppCaseNum=&IVRTraNum=&Name=&Notes=&ScanDate=&UserID=&SeqNum=&Origin=&RfsNum=&RfsDate=&Pin= |accessdate=December 22, 2016 }}{{Dead link|date=January 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} This was the proposed location of a long-mooted mixed-use construction project near downtown Nashville that failed to materialize for over ten years.{{cite news|last1=Fox|first1=Matt|title=Best Accidental Lake|url=http://local.nashvillescene.com/publication/best-of-nashville/2016/people-and-places/best-accidental-lake|accessdate=November 13, 2017|work=Nashville Scene|language=en}} Conceived by Nashville-based Alex S. Palmer & Company, the project was originally planned to open in 2007 as the West End Summit, a $300 million project for office space and apartments.

Excavation initially started in 2005, but the project stalled due to the 2007–2008 financial crisis. The developer sought an anchor tenant for the office portion of the project.{{cite news |first=Chas |last=Sisk |title=Firm sues West End project developer over payment |url=http://www.tennessean.com/article/20081106/BUSINESS02/811060322/1003/BUSINESS |work=The Tennessean |date=November 6, 2008 |accessdate=January 8, 2009 }} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} The resulting lake was a source of water for swimming pools and country clubs during water restrictions following the 2010 Tennessee floods.{{cite web|last1=Lind|first1=J.R.|title=Lake Palmer Sold: Languishing Development Gets New Owner|url=https://patch.com/tennessee/nashville/lake-palmer-sold-languishing-development-gets-new-owner|website=Patch|accessdate=2 May 2018|date=26 March 2018}} The construction proposal was relaunched in September, 2012 with news that Nashville-headquartered Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) had signed leases to occupy two office towers on the site. In addition to the office towers, an InterContinental Hotel was planned as part of the development. After plans stalled, the property was sold to Propst Development in March, 2018.

The site remained a massive, block-long excavation that was commonly called Lake Palmer, as this {{convert|85|ft|m|adj=mid|-deep}} hole was mostly filled with water.{{cite web|url=http://www.granthammond.com/2009/condos/how-nashville-west-end-summit-became-lake-palmer/|title=How Nashville West End Summit Became Lake Palmer|date=October 4, 2009|publisher=Nashville Real Estate|accessdate=June 7, 2010}} As of September 2019, the lake was still visible on Google Maps and labelled as Lake Palmer.{{cite web|title=Lake Palmer, Tennessee 1, Nashville, TN|url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lake+Palmer/@36.155004,-86.7963767,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x88646692d4431f43:0x84ccd80dbb56fa2e!8m2!3d36.155004!4d-86.794188&shorturl=1|website=Google Maps|access-date=May 9, 2017}}
