I believe so, but is that imminent domain and that project/land goes away??
Probably won’t happen but maybe it’ll literally plow through haha as in basically tunnel through the first couple floors of the hotel.

Looks like NY money just bought the Holiday Inn. Did they buy the vacant lot next to it?
“ The site is split across a pair of parcels, one holding the hotel and another made up of a surface parking lot. The hotel also sits next to the Fallon Company’s newly-built 301 Hillsborough Tower.”
Not exactly clear in the article

They’re excited about the trajectory of the Moore Square District? Are they planning a third downtown project because their two sites in downtown are nowhere near Moore Square.

It would only make sense- there is a gravel surface lot immediately next to the Hair Curler, along Dawson
That Stronachs Alley/S Wilmington site they bought is reasonably close.
So much happening I can’t keep them straight. Isn’t the S Wilmington one where they’re building the hotel / apartment combo?

Imaps shows both the hotel and lot are owned by Hillsborough Owner LLC, with an address of 520 W 27th Street, NY, NY, was deeded the property November 3. I’m more curious about the lot. I don’t think they’d knock down the hotel so the most they can do is probably improve the facade

Do you mean the Acorn/Marriott? That’s 415 S. Blount through to Person St.

Yes. Not sure why I was thinking it was this lot
They’re on catty-corner blocks from each other - easy mistake!

I’ve heard murmurings of a Kimpton going in at 300 Hillsborough - assumedly in the parking lot right next to the circular Holiday Inn or could be the reason for the recent ownership transition of the HI 
. There might be a mix up in the stated address, but just throwing it out into the ether here…and also curious if that rumor is circulating??
Feel free to merge with other relevant threads, just hadn’t seen a related topic yet.

A Kimpton would be a huge win for Raleigh. Rumor or not, I’m pulling for it to happen. Thanks for the post!
