Construction underway on a dual-branded upper-midscale hotel in Nashville’s East Bank, adjacent to a major corporate campus.
Nashville, East Bank district, August 26, 2025
Arriba Capital provided a $67 million construction loan to fund a dual-branded Hilton hotel (Home2 Suites and Hampton Inn) in Nashville’s East Bank district. The upper-midscale project will cover hard and soft costs for a repeat borrower and sits adjacent to a planned $2 billion corporate headquarters campus, expected to boost weekday demand. The property is scheduled for delivery in early 2027. Dual-branding is intended to broaden guest appeal and improve operational efficiency. The financing follows other large hotel deals in the market, underscoring a busy development window and the need to monitor room supply and staffing.
Arriba Capital has closed a $67 million construction loan to fund a new dual-branded Hilton hotel that will carry Home2 Suites and Hampton Inn flags on Nashville’s East Bank. The site sits adjacent to a major corporate campus planned by Oracle valued at $2 billion. The borrower is a Southeast-based hospitality management and development company that has worked with Arriba Capital before. The developer expects to deliver the upper-midscale hotel in early 2027.
The financing is a construction loan secured to build an upper-midscale, dual-branded hotel in a rapidly evolving part of Nashville. The project’s proximity to a large corporate headquarters development positions it to serve both business travelers tied to the new campus and leisure visitors to the East Bank district. The borrower is a repeat client of Arriba Capital and will pursue construction and opening within a roughly two-year horizon.
The deal is one of several large hospitality construction financings in Nashville with 2027 delivery targets, highlighting a concentration of capital and development activity in the market. The dual-flag approach is intended to broaden the hotel’s appeal by offering two Hilton brand experiences under one roof, which can be efficient for operations and capture a wider range of traveler needs.
Separately, a major construction financing package for a different Nashville project closed recently. A $253 million construction loan was arranged to support the development of a 30-story hotel-condominium tower in the Paseo South Gulch district. That mixed-use development will include a 180-key hotel and 146 branded condominiums, with lenders providing financing through a structured package. That project is also expected to open in 2027 and is part of a larger master-planned phase in that neighborhood.
The Arriba-backed hotel is described as upper-midscale, a segment that typically targets value-conscious business and leisure travelers seeking reliable amenities and efficient operations. Dual-brand hotels commonly pair an extended-stay or suite-focused flag with a more traditional select-service flag to diversify revenue streams and improve occupancy across demand cycles.
The borrower intends to complete construction and open the hotel in early 2027. The separate 30-story hotel-condominium tower in Paseo South Gulch is similarly scheduled for a 2027 opening, making the year a major target for new hospitality inventory in the city.
Nashville continues to attract substantial development and investment in hospitality and mixed-use real estate. The presence of large corporate campus projects and other master-planned neighborhood developments is driving demand for hotel rooms, extended-stay suites, and branded residences. Construction loans such as the $67 million and $253 million transactions reflect lender confidence in completion and market absorption assumptions for the mid-2020s market horizon.
The construction loan closed by Arriba Capital for the dual-branded Hilton project totals $67 million.
The development will operate under two Hilton flags: Home2 Suites and Hampton Inn.
The hotel sits on Nashville’s East Bank, adjacent to a planned corporate campus being developed by Oracle and valued at $2 billion.
The borrower is a hospitality management and development firm based in the Southeast and is a repeat client of Arriba Capital. Specific corporate names and additional ownership details are not disclosed in this summary.
The developer plans to deliver the hotel in early 2027.
A separate construction financing of $253 million was arranged to support a 30-story hotel-condominium tower in Nashville’s Paseo South Gulch, including 180 hotel keys and 146 branded condominiums, with a similar 2027 opening target.
