Walker & Dunlop arranges $371.5 million financing for The Nashville EDITION hotel and residences in The Gulch
Major capital package announced for mixed-use tower near downtown Nashville
Walker & Dunlop announced on February 9, 2026, that it arranged $371.5 million in financing to support development of The Nashville EDITION Hotel & Residences, a planned luxury hotel-and-condominium tower in The Gulch. The project site is described as near 11th Avenue North and Grundy Street.
The financing was arranged for Tidal Real Estate Partners, with Madison Realty Capital and KSL Capital Partners identified as capital providers. The transaction was handled through Walker & Dunlop’s capital markets and hospitality advisory teams.
Project scope: 28 stories, 261 hotel rooms, and 84 residences
Development plans call for a 28-story tower combining a 261-room hotel with 84 residential units marketed as branded residences. Public marketing materials for the residences identify the EDITION marks as licensed and note that the residences are not owned, developed, or sold by Marriott International or its affiliates.
Project descriptions also identify ESa as the architecture firm and INC Architecture & Design as the interior designer. The development team has been described in industry reporting as involving Tidal Real Estate Partners and Left Lane Development, with Marriott International involved in collaboration related to the EDITION brand.
Hotel component: 261 rooms
Residential component: 84 units
Amenities described: separate hotel and residential lobbies and gyms; shared spa; golf simulator; meeting and event space; rooftop pool and bar
How this fits into recent Gulch-area development and financing activity
The financing announcement follows earlier industry reporting in December 2025 describing a larger $400 million construction financing stack connected to the same hotel-and-condominium project, involving a senior construction loan and mezzanine financing. That earlier reporting characterized the capital sources as Madison Realty Capital and KSL Capital Partners, and also referenced Newbond Holdings in connection with the senior loan. The February 2026 announcement, by contrast, describes $371.5 million arranged, naming Madison Realty Capital and KSL Capital Partners as providers, without detailing the full capital stack or whether additional components sit outside the arranged amount.
The project’s financing details have been described differently across announcements and industry coverage, suggesting the overall capitalization may include multiple tranches or subsequent adjustments as the development progresses.
What to watch next
Key next milestones for the project include confirmation of a construction timeline, additional permitting and contracting disclosures, and further detail on how hotel operations, residential sales, and shared amenity management will be structured between the hotel and condominium components. The development adds to a broader pipeline of high-end hospitality and branded residential projects in and around The Gulch as Nashville continues to attract institutional capital for mixed-use construction.
