Southwest Value Partners, the developer of the Nashville Yards project, has been approached by Hilton executives about the potential addition of an 800-bed Signia by Hilton hotel at the mixed-use destination. According to reporting referenced from the Nashville Business Journal, the proposed hotel would be added to the existing hospitality presence at Nashville Yards, where Union Station Hotel and the Grand Hyatt are already part of the broader development.
Nashville Yards is planned as a large-scale downtown development with an expected build-out value of about $1 billion. The project is designed as a 15-acre mixed-use campus programmed to include approximately 3.5 million square feet of commercial office space, more than 1,000 residential units, over 400,000 square feet of retail, and in excess of 1,100 hotel rooms. Within that context, an 800-bed Signia property would represent a significant additional hospitality component layered onto an already sizable pipeline of hotel keys at the site.
Hilton’s Signia brand is still in the early stages of its rollout and currently has four locations in operation, in Atlanta, Orlando, San Jose and San Antonio. The brand is also expanding, with seven hotels reported to be in development. Signia’s flagship hotel opened in Atlanta in 2024, underscoring Hilton’s effort to position the flag in major convention and entertainment markets.
The broader Nashville Yards project is already home to one major corporate presence. The 1.15-million-square-foot Amazon Operations Center of Excellence is located within the development, anchoring a significant portion of the planned office component. As the mixed-use campus continues to build out its office, residential, retail and hospitality elements, the potential Signia by Hilton hotel would further diversify the range of uses and brands on site, while expanding the hospitality offerings that support both corporate and leisure demand in and around downtown.
Details on the timing, design and final programming of the proposed Signia hotel at Nashville Yards have not been disclosed, and any future agreement between Hilton and Southwest Value Partners has not been described in the available information.
