Shades Urban Hospitality is proposing a new Hotel in the Nashville Gulch at the former home of Jackalope Brewing. Jackalope brewing didn’t reopen its Gulch location after the height of the pandemic. According to the Nashville Post, operations are now focused at the Wedgewood-Houston location “The Ranch”.
A request for a major modification was filed last week for the property, located at the corner of Old Division Street & 8th Ave. South. Once approved, the request will allow for the additional height to permit a 23-story hotel building. The request was made by Kimley-Horn, on behalf of the Owner. Here’s the quick rundown:
