The Rutledge, the SoBro restaurant run by brothers Mason and Curt Revelette, quietly closed its doors in late April, leaving a high-profile hole at the base of the Four Seasons. The pair has put their two-story, 15,626-square-foot ground-floor commercial condominium on the market with an asking price near $16.5 million. According to the owners, employees were offered roles at the family's other restaurants while the trophy space starts shopping for a new operator.
Big Four Seasons Footprint Now For Sale
The commercial listing bills the offering as “The Rutledge at the Four Seasons” and pegs the space at 15,626 square feet with a $16.5 million price tag, which works out to roughly $1,056 per square foot, according to LoopNet. Nashville brokerage Ojas Partners is leading the marketing effort, with Lizzy LeBleu, Harrison Pollak, and Elam Freeman listed as the brokers on the deal.
A Short Run Downtown
The Rutledge opened at the Four Seasons in mid-2022 as an independent concept after the Revelettes brought their Cool Springs restaurant brand downtown. The debut and expansion drew attention in local business coverage at the time, according to the Nashville Business Journal, but the downtown run ultimately proved brief.
Owners' Purchases And Staff Moves
Public records and reporting show Mason and Curt Revelette paid roughly $10.5 million for the Four Seasons ground-floor space in June 2022, and the brothers previously spent $1.92 million on the Jonathan’s building at 717 Third Ave. N., according to the Nashville Post. That reporting also notes that when the downtown Rutledge closed in late April, the owners offered staff positions at their other family restaurants.
What The Listing Could Mean
The vacancy instantly creates one of SoBro's largest hotel-adjacent restaurant footprints, a rare find for operators craving visibility and scale. Brokers and market watchers say the combination of a turnkey restaurant space tethered to a luxury hotel could catch the eye of national brands or investor groups, even as the price and size naturally narrow the field of realistic bidders. Prospective buyers can dig into the offering materials via the LoopNet posting for the property.
For now, the Rutledge's closure and the for-sale sign on its Four Seasons home mark a notable shift in SoBro's downtown dining mix, with the next chapter still unwritten as the marketing campaign plays out.
