50 Music Square W.
Work is ready to begin at the Music Row site once home to the iconic United Artists Tower and long eyed for a hotel, then an apartment building and, once more, a hotel.
The project will unfold at 50 Music Square W. An investor and development group overseen by hoteliers Jay Patel and Andy Bhakta will undertake work on the seven-story, 132-room hotel building (pictured).
The site previously accommodated the nine-story octagon-shaped United Artists Tower, which the owners had razed in 2019. A permit, valued at $3.09 million, has been issued to allow for framing and foundation work. Southland Constructors is handling the job.

The Music Row site once home to the iconic United Artists Tower and long eyed for a hotel and then an apartment building will now, and finally, be developed with a hotel.
The project, a groundbreaking date for which has not yet been announced, will unfold at
50 Music Square W. An investor and development group overseen by hoteliers Jay Patel and Andy Bhakta will undertake the project, a seven-story hotel building (pictured) with 132 rooms.
The site previously accommodated the nine-story octagon-shaped United Artists Tower, which the owners had razed in 2019. One permit from the Metro Codes Department and approval from the Metro Planning Commission (related to aerial encroachment) are needed for groundbreaking to begin.
