About the Project
The proposed project has a retail and restaurant space on the main level with the upper levels consisting of an upscale select service hotel with approximately 109 guestrooms. The goal is to attract visitors and locals alike.
The building is designed to tie into the rich historic fabric of the Courthouse Plaza Historic District. The façade is predominantly brick and stone referencing the surrounding historic buildings. The corner of the building hosts a restaurant with an outdoor patio, which will bring activity to the pedestrian-friendly streets. This provides space where locals and guests can relax, share small plates and drinks, and vibrancy of the nearby courthouse plaza and take in the surrounding city. This hotel is a perfect complement to the surrounding historic buildings of the area and will be a benefit to the community.
