The Hutton Hotel has sold to a trio of investors.

San Francisco-based Geolo Capital is one member of a new ownership group for the 250-room hotel at 1808 West End Ave. The private equity firm's founding partner and director is John Pritzker, a scion of the Chicago-based family that started Hyatt Hotels. Others in the group include BentallGreenOak, which manages $48 billion of real estate worldwide, and New York-based Flank Management LP, which is pursuing two high-rise developments in downtown Nashville.

The trio, operating under the formal entity Button Up Music Row Hotel Owner LLC, announced their all-cash purchase on Wednesday. They did not disclose the purchase price; public records regarding the sale have not yet been filed.

The purchase is notable for several reasons, not least of which is the timing, as Covid-19's economic chaos bludgeons the hotel industry. In a press release, the Hutton's new ownership expressed optimism in Nashville's prospects for recovery.

“We’re believers in the resiliency of the Nashville market and are excited to be partnered with our friends at Flank and Geolo on this investment,” said Mark Van Zandt, managing partner of BentallGreenOak.

1709 21st Ave. South (2 stories, 3,000 sq. ft.) update.  Nice to see they are keeping the original design of the facade, which had to be replaced because of unstable walls.  Will look good with new brick exterior.

Here are some current shots of interior elements of the Hutton Hotel (remodeled 2 years ago) which sold for $70 million last week. Ssee post from June 10th above on this thread.  Pics courtesy of NBJ:

Centennial Flats is a proposed residential complex of 25 units (unknown height) being planned for 2701 Poston Ave., which might entail clearing away the Springwater dive bar/club. The 3 parcel lot also covers 115 27th Ave. North, and has been owned by the Terry family since 1974. Hog Heaven BBQ was also on the site, and recently closed permanently.  Red's BBQ is in that side of the building currently.

Terry could not be reached for comment, and it is unclear if the proposed building would rise only on the surface lot or require demolition of the existing building. 

Civil Site Design is part of the project.  No renderings or further details yet.

Too bad. I'd always hoped that somehow that small block of buildings would be bought by Metro and added to the park and that little building turned into a rustic pavilion. Has a lot of character. Not a fan of having that McDonald's so visible at the edge of such  a beautiful park.

The older I get the less I like the look of any fast food restaurant anywhere.

Losing the Springwater would be one of the final acts in the death of punk/alt culture in Nashville. Not a fan of reading that...

The Ruby Sunshine restaurant in the brand new 2-story, 4,880 sq. ft. structure at 1800 21st Ave. South had its grand opening yesterday. The New Orleans style breakfast/brunch menu will be served from 7 AM to 2 PM daily (3 PM on weekends).  When the eatery was announced last year, it was said they would be open into the evening, but the manager told me that mid-afternoon closings will be the norm initially.  The entire 2nd floor is empty at this time.  Could end up being additional restaurant seating and/or rentable office space eventually.

The former restaurant/bar at 1601 21st Ave. South is being gutted and prepared for a new home to a Central BBQ franchise.

Odyssey at the Park (Four 4 and 5 story buildings,  about 250 units, ground level retail along 31st Ave. North) update.  All structures razed, and fencing up.

Found this ground floor plan in a flyer for Odyssey at the Park on Avison Young's website. I don't think I've seen it posted here yet:

Comes with some bonus statistics as well. The 2024 projected populations correspond to densities of 6480, 6230, and 4840/mi^2, respectively.

Almost all of the nearby buildings use brick in some form or other, including the new townhouses going up one block over, but I don't see any brick on the very limited renders released so far for this one.
