The latest celebrity to plant a stake in downtown Nashville entertainment is legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi. He joins recent celebs opening nightclubs/restaurants like Garth Brooks, Miranda Lambert, and Justin Timberlake.
Nashville Business Journal reports Bon Jovi has partnered with a real estate firm to invest in a place at 405 Broadway.
The "Livin On A Prayer" superstar has lots of business ventures. In the last ten years, he's opened three locations of JBJ Soul Kitchen in his home state of New Jersey.
Right now 405 Broadway is an empty lot near Broadway and 4th Avenue.
According to Big Plan website, “Big Plan Holdings closed on 405 Broadway in October of 2020 for $9.4 million, a record-setting deal for a downtown real estate land transaction. Co-founders Josh and Tara Joseph have plans for a multi-story music and entertainment venue with developments slated to start in Q1 of 2022.”
So they are running a little behind on the project, but with the pandemic,ic problem improving, they should be ramping up development soon.
