Just curious, how many floors is the Willard Hotel going to be ??
I thought that it was 7 at one time. Not so sure anymore.

Sure looks like 7 in their updated rendering (the one with the top 2 floors being condos is outdated, this was what they put out after that decision).

Can’t figure out to embed the Facebook post directly here and it show up so you gotta click. It talks of the history of this house that is/was demo’d the other day.
Nice catch. The post is about a house that was moved from the present-day Char-Grill lot directly north to Willard. I don’t think that house is part of the Willard Hotel property, but maybe I’m wrong?
I lived across from this house in a quad apartment building for almost 5 years. We had very easy access to Char-Grill from the shared drive.
I think the house that is referred to as being demoed is on the south side of Hillsborough and part of the Block 83 development.

Does anyone know if they have plans to actively begin construction? Or are they just going to leave us with a vacant lot for months to years?

The building permit is still under review. It looks like the last review was rejected on 8/23.

That’s weird. I wonder why…
no affordable housing, probably…

You really wonder why?
It could be something as stupid as having something incorrect on the building code summary sheet or something bad like not having two exits out of a room with 50 or more people.
Lol yes. I am sad this keeps getting delayed. I like AC hotels and their bars. I thought it was just held up in the backlog of normal building permits with the city. I hope it’s something mundane and can be fixed soon.

The Willard failed another building permit review. It looks like everything is good to go except for the building itself. All of the site and PME permits are ready to be issued. I honestly don’t know how an architecture firm can screw it up this much.
