Champaign council signs off on developer switch for boutique hotel
On Tuesday, the Champaign City Council gave initial approval to putting Altenberger on the project, which was green-lighted last fall with the intention of it being branded as a Hotel Vib (pronounced "vibe") by Best Western, made to be high-tech and attractive to younger customers looking to stay in urban environments...
The change in developers has stalled project construction, which was slated to begin Jan. 1.
Despite the delay, Kowalski said the city won't reopen the parking lot where the hotel will eventually sit. He noted that heads on the lot's parking meters have already been removed and that the city has made accommodations for the lost lot space.]
The millennial boutique hotel is finally moving forward. I'm assuming that's a good thing as someone officially too old to know what the heck they're talking about. Excerpt from the News-Gazette article today:
Hotel still a go, but developer changing[original post 2/24/2018, 6:16am]
After some delay, the city is moving forward with its boutique hotel project — this time with a different developer in tow.
Construction of the millennial- focused Hotel Vib (pronounced “vibe”) by Best Western was approved by the Champaign City Council last September...
On Friday, the city publicized official plans to part ways with the original project developer — Chris Keller with Grasshopper Hospitality LLC in Effingham. The city council will review those plans Tuesday.
