Converting low-end hotels into attainable long-term housing

The properties they reinvent might not always be so pretty, but some Nashville developers are looking at ways to solve a problem while making a profit.

Ryan Hooper is a partner at Nashville’s Creative Development Partners and is affiliated with the purchase of both the Save-A-Lot building on Clarksville Pike and an airport-area former hotel. The group is keeping the Save-A-Lot with new ownership of the business. The former Red Lion Inn & Suites on Atrium Way will be converted to apartments for rent at about $1,000 per month.
