not unanimous (hall voted no 'for process reasons'), but PZED advanced to full council without the 'accelerated' maneuver. jan parks had left the room so maybe the petitioners won't notice?

the hotel will be 'translocal' (the developer's word), meaning just about every furnishing will be sourced locally (in addition to the restaurant's food and the bar's alcohol). they're already working with local artists. this thing will rock the hotel scene, just like 21c if that thing ever gets off the ground.

separately, some have told me that financing for hotels is starting to lock up. this boutique wave may end before the petitioners have their final say?

So is it fair to say if the developer gets agreement from the KCSD people, the CAVE people won't attack?

not really. they opposed the fed deal, even though KCSD testified in favor.

So really they just don't want anything. Let's be alert for anything BKS related and see if they pounce on that too.

Good to hear, the biker/pets theme was kind of a turn off for me.

It was never going to get a biker/pet theme, but figured the name might have stayed the same. The only reason why it has that theme in Milwaukee is because it is next to the Harley Museum and Harley is founded/HQ in Milwaukee

Hotel developers are also rescuing long-empty properties in the Crossroads. The Aparium Hotel Group of Chicago and investors are converting the old Pabst Brewing and Pendergast Distillery buildings at 2101-2107 Central Ave. into a 124-room hotel and community meeting place.

John McGurk, attorney for the Crossroads Hotel developers, said the properties are in the redesign process now. The developers are working on financing and hope to open the hotel for guests in the fall or winter of 2017.

Not sure what to think about this: https://www.pitch.com/news/blog/2099888 ... entrifiers

Of course, no such complication exists for the KC project.
