Kindler Hotel (1110 Grand)
Permit for Development Assistance Team Meeting for new project at 1110 Grand, a.k.a. the Borel Building.
Looks like this project involves gutting the 6-story building and converting it into a 35-unit boutique hotel with a bar and restaurant. They need assistance because the vault underneath the sidewalk is in danger of collapsing, and they propose moving the utilities under the sidewalk into the building. Also requesting information about guidelines for restoring the historic façade. Proposed start date is 2/2022.
Googling 'Kindler Hotel' only brings up a single hotel in Lincoln, NE - but it looks like a similar renovation.

Re: Kindler Hotel (1110 Grand)
In the past when I've talked to staff at Zaina they said they were being kicked out. Haven't heard if they found a new spot yet, but they did want to stay downtown.

^Poor Zaina, they are good enough to draw a one year discount rate from some building looking for a ground floor tenant. RM may be a better fit but Loop needs this.

Re: Kindler Hotel (1110 Grand)
Maybe the City should also incentivize some affordable restaurant spaces in new buildings so that small operations other than chains can afford to be downtown?

Many small restaurant owners would say those spaces aren't affordable.

I love the metal awning the building used to have.
Historic Mason Building on Grand Could Become $11M Boutique Hotel
Historic Mason Building on Grand Could Become $11M Boutique Hotel
https://cityscenekc.com/historic-mason- ... sQyvdpUYUsThe historic Mason Building, now an inconspicuous office building wedged along Grand Boulevard, could become a 35-room boutique hotel, bar and restaurant if plans being pursued by a St. Louis developer come to fruition.
Metropolitan Build has submitted preliminary inquiries at City Hall to determine whether the old building could become the next boutique hotel operation to be opened by The Kindler Hotel in Lincoln, NE.
...
The Mason is named after Anna Mason, who developed the building as a four-story office project in 1905. Another two stories were added in 1921. It’s also known as the Borel Building.
...
However, according to the brief application to the city, significant public infrastructure work needs to be done if the project is to move forward.
The city sidewalk in front of the historic building is in danger of collapsing into the utility vault below requiring the relocation of the utilities to the building interior, according to the application.

Knowing that picture exists, and if I was the developer, I believe there is enough to go off of there to recreate that metal awning. Especially since this is to be a boutique hotel, that would be a nice entrance point + add a rooftop bar space. It might not have a very good view, but those can be popular if done right.

Zaina has a sign up saying they are moving to Crown Center.

That’s a loss for the loop, but a nice win for crown center.
