River North hotel project still planned

Three years after plans surfaced of a 15-story building to feature two Marriott-branded hotels in River North, the project remains viable — with the recent Oracle announcement perhaps making it “more so than ever,” according to the prospective developer.

Nashville Business Journal reported in May 2018 that Green Hills-based Skyline Hospitality LLC was prepping to develop a portion of a 4.45-acre property at 306 Cowan St. adjacent to Topgolf. Jarratt Bell, Skyline Hospitality president, told the Post Friday the project is still planned, with the dual-branded hotel tower in phase one and a mixed-use tower now a possibility for phase two. (Originally, NBJ reported a seven-story apartment structure with 250 units was considered.)
