An application for modification to the Downtown Code was submitted to convert the current parking lot and 2-story structure into a new 16-story hotel tower. The modifications are to accommodate outdoor seating, a covered arrivals area, and site parking & access. Branding on the renderings suggest that this will be one of Hilton’s new curated lifestyle brands, ‘Tempo’. Here’s the development rundown:
