Building would rise 21 stories, offer 315 rooms at Nashville Yards

Las Vegas-based MGM Resorts International has released some images of the hotel and entertainment building it plans to undertake with Los Angeles-based Anschutz Entertainment Group related to the entertainment district component of the future Nashville Yards.

Of note, St. Louis-based HOK is the architect. The firm is known nationally for its designs for stadia and arenas.



The hotel building, according to a document filed with Metro, will rise 21 stories and offer 315 rooms and house will what seemingly will be a Park MGM hotel. It will be accompanied by a five-story mixed-use building, a music venue and a parking structure.



AEG hopes to begin construction of its buildings in the third quarter, Nashville Business Journal recently reported, citing AEG spokesman Michael Roth. (NBJ was the first local outlet to run the images.)

AEG and MGM (the latter of which mainly owns and operates hotels) are eyeing the following components according to the document:

• a music venue with capacity for 4,000 people

• a smaller "entertainment club"

• a nine-screen movie theater

• 90,000 square feet of office space

• a 315-room hotel with 25,000 square feet of meeting space.

Based on the documents, the hotel building seemingly will rise about 275 feet, making it one of Nashville's six tallest if operational today.



A two-year construction timetable is expected, NBJ reports.

MGM and AEG have partnered before with the $375 million T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In 2018, AEG paid about $44 million for four acres of Nashville Yards property. San Diego-based developer Southwest Value Partners is the master developer of the site, which will be home to two buildings housing Amazon offices and a tower to accommodate a Grand Hyatt (under construction and designed by Dallas-based HKS).

The four acres sit at the northwest corner of the intersection of Commerce Street and Ninth Avenue North.
