The Scottos own Luogo, which is located in mixed-use building Twelve Twelve in the Gulch and opened in late 2022 (read here).
The permit, valued at $500,000, notes Nashville-based City Construction will serve as the contractor for the build-out of the 6,900-square-foot space. CDP Architecture, which is also locally based, is handling design work. The Scottos could not be reached for comment regarding an opening date and other details related to menu and decor.
Saint Stephen closed in November after a three-and-a-half-year run (read here). Previously, the building accommodated restaurant Mop/Broom.
An LLC affiliated with Nashville-based restaurant real estate and ownership company Fresh Capital owns the property, having paid $900,000 for it in February 2015, Metro records show.
