### 12-Story Hotel Planned for Music Row
Hotelier Rajesh Aggarwal is planning to build a new hotel at 1407 Division Street, adjacent to the Best Western Plus Music Row. The proposed development will feature a 191,150-square-foot building with 222 hotel rooms.
Aggarwal, who owns the 1.27-acre property that includes the existing Best Western Plus, intends to construct the new hotel on a portion of the 0.61-acre site currently serving as a surface parking lot for the neighboring hotel.
According to the *Nashville Business Journal*, the city’s hotel market continues to thrive, ranking second only to New York in the number of hotel rooms set to open in 2025. Of the 2,849 rooms expected in Nashville this year, most belong to the upper midscale and upscale categories. The city has recently seen a surge in luxury hotel openings, including the Four Seasons Hotel Nashville, SoHo House Nashville, and 1 Hotel Nashville.
The project is currently seeking final site approval and is expected to be reviewed by the Metro Planning Department in April.
