Construction for Dream Nashville began in October of 2016 and the project's ceremonial topping out marks the next phase towards finalizing the iconic project. Located in historic Printers Alley at Fourth Avenue North, the 169-room hotel is expected to open with six experiential dining and nightlife venues in late 2018 and pairs Earl Swensson Architects with Meyer Davis Studio for interiors.
The topping out ceremony for Dream Nashville featured Vice Mayor David Briley as keynote speaker, as well as Executive Director of Planning Doug Sloan and key members of the Dream team, 4PANT principals Alex Marks and Bill Barkley and Dream Hotel Group CEO Jay Stein. The evening commenced with a ceremonial reveal of the project's new exterior signage on the former Utopia Hotel building and wrapped with a live musical performance by Nashville-based duo Striking Matches from Capitol Records.
