Nashville-based developer C.B. Ragland Co. has submitted plans to Metro regarding a hotel tower proposed for the SoBro site across Second Avenue to the west from its 222 2nd Ave. South Tower. The proposed structure will rise at least 20 stories and is expected to offer a minimum of 250 rooms. No renderings available yet. The team will go before the Metro Development and Housing Agency Design Review Committee on Tuesday, Nov. 7, to seek approval of the concept. The tower — which could sit on an L-shaped parking podium — would rise on the 0.5-acre site of the building last home to The Listening Room. Discussions are being held with Hyatt properties. Both of these stories are currently behind paywalls: http://www.nashvillepost.com/business/development/article/20981404/hotel-tower-eyed-for-sobro-site https://www.bizjournals.com/nashville/news/2017/11/02/upscalehyatt-hotel-targeted-for-sobro.html The site is at lower center of this small photo: The property is the oddly shaped teal lot in the center of this screen shot from Smealoglsfree's excellent Development Map: This is the current 1 story structure of no historic significance sitting on the lot. It housed the Listening Room Club for the past decade or so. That enterprise has relocated to 4th Ave. South and Elm St.
