Southend Hotel Projects

[KJHburg]

Right now there is only one  Holiday Inn Express on S Tryon but a lot proposed.  Proposals include a hotel atop the Vantage Southend garage, one at Carson Southend development by Crescent and of course this lot purchased by White Lodging at the corner of W  Bland and S Tryon across from the Railyard.  I think this is will be a pretty substantial hotel 300 plus room and 20 plus stories OR larger.   With all the corporate users in Southend and only one hotel there is a room for a several more.  (Plus there is a site on Hawkins across from the Line too)

White Lodging paid $8 million for this .63 acre site and I think something will happen this year on it.   Today I saw 2 guys clearing debri off the lot.

I'm assuming the building that houses the McLaren showroom isn't included in this project?

McLaren would like to move on from this showroom, so White Lodging if you are listening, I have someone for you to talk to.

Walk by today; it appeared there was some minor activity!

Seems to be soil testing.  I am betting this is the next hotel to get off the ground in central part of Charlotte.  Could be up to 400 rooms I hear.

It should just be temporary while the building goes through all the necessary hoops. It is in brownfields now, so there's a at least a year before this would conceivably break ground.

I suppose even a surface lot is a slight improvement over what was there before.

Concerning the White Lodging site at Tryon and W Bland. Here are some tidbits from the NC Brownfields report which they started work on their Brownfields submission in 2022 but it looks like it was originally marketed as a high-rise residential site, not a hotel site.   Not sure if that makes much difference though.
