Nashville-based Vastland Company today announced it has closed on a $130 million construction loan for its inaugural VOCE Hotel & Residences (VOCE) in Midtown Nashville. VOCE will be a dynamic 25-story mixed-use development offering 192 private residences, 114 luxury hotel suites, 60,000 square feet of boutique office space, and more than 40,000 square feet of epicurean and wellness amenities. The project is located at 1717 Hayes Street.
“There has never been a project like VOCE in Nashville, and the city is the ideal first market to introduce the VOCE brand to the world,” said Mack McClung, Founder and CEO of Vastland Company. “This is an exciting day for us at Vastland and for our wonderful collection of owners at VOCE. As we commence vertical construction on our fully realized, beautifully designed, amenity-laden flagship project, we expect intense demand for our remaining units.”

The loan was provided by Peachtree Group, an Atlanta-based investment firm that has executed $13.9 billion in real estate investment and was ranked the seventh largest hotel lender in the U.S. by the Mortgage Bankers Association in 2024. BayBridge Real Estate Capital acted as Vastland’s capital market broker and brought Peachtree Group to the VOCE deal.
Continued McClung, “This $130 million loan from Peachtree Group reflects the strong confidence that one of the Southeast’s most respected real estate lenders has in our vision, execution capabilities, and the VOCE concept. Upon completion, the project represents a total sellout value of $360 million.”
The VOCE brand and lifestyle concept was purposefully designed for high-velocity markets where tourism, conventions, group travel, corporate relocation, and luxury real estate investment converge — making Nashville the perfect inaugural launch city and positioning the brand for seamless expansion into other top-tier destinations worldwide. Here’s the quick rundown:

VOCE features 40,000+ square feet of resort-style amenities, including the rooftop restaurant, lounge, and pool; full-service spa and wellness facilities; fitness center; private members’ speakeasy and club; concierge services; and curated programming. There is also a 25th-floor rooftop with a high-end dining experience (to be announced).
Unique to VOCE’s private residences, each unit owner has the option to participate in a professionally managed four-star hotel program that generates recurring cash flow and significant tax advantages. The Nashville project marks the debut of the VOCE brand and will serve as the blueprint for future locations Vastland plans across the United States and internationally.
CityNowNext reported in September of 2024 that VOCE had pre-sold 1/3 of its residences. According to the release, pre-sales have now reached 50%. “This allows us to close this construction financing on favorable terms while ensuring the hotel will operate debt-free upon opening, which is a rarity in today’s environment,” McClung said.
Construction is slated to begin on December 8, 2025, with an expected completion of Fall 2027.
