Construction set to start on Chartwell Hospitality, Rockbridge Tennessee developments

Construction on a TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Brentwood, Tenn., and a Home2 Suites by Hilton in Lebanon, Tenn., is set to begin in this summer. The properties, first announced last year as part of a collaboration between Chartwell Hospitality and Rockbridge, have been joined by a TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

“The Greater Nashville area is a vibrant place and rapidly growing. With the influx of people and businesses, the Middle Tennessee area is in high demand for a variety of lodging options,” Chartwell Hospitality EVP Will Schaedle said in a statement. “Chartwell’s decades of experience allows us to evaluate the hospitality voids of an area and develop the specific property types that match travelers' needs. We are also excited to continue our relationship with Rockbridge.”

The TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Brentwood is part of a multimillion-dollar revitalization project in the Eastpark development of Maryland Farms. With more than five acres of green space, the Eastpark development is close to Old Hickory Boulevard and Interstate 65. The TownePlace Suites by Marriott will be Chartwell’s third hotel in the Brentwood market and will have 119 guestrooms.

The TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Murfreesboro is the only hotel approved for the Clari Park mixed-use development. The hotel, located on Medical Center Parkway, has 120 guestrooms with full kitchens, outdoor community patios with grills, on-site laundry facilities, a fitness center, an outdoor pool and a lobby bar. The hotel’s exterior is being customized to fit within the development’s architectural guidelines and requirements.

The Home2 Suites in Lebanon is in an area that is undergoing significant industrial growth, bringing new global corporations to the area and driving hospitality demand. The hotel will have 120 extended-stay rooms with laundry and fitness areas, multiple outdoor spaces and a 24-hour business center.

Chartwell Hospitality and Rockbridge partnered on all three new hotel developments. Chartwell and Rockbridge are also partners on the 298-room Hilton at Nashville International Airport. The Hilton at BNA is expected to open in early 2024. Franklin Construction Group is serving as the construction manager for the three-hotel portfolio project.
