this parcel is outside of the streetcar rezoning area (DX) in the crossroads, so they will need to provide the citywide minimum for off-street parking spaces (1 per 6 rooms for a hotel over 40 rooms).
The Iron Horse in Milwaukee is probably a top 5 hotel in the city of milwaukee, I love the location for this hotel. This area is starting to turn into a pretty vibrant part of the crossroads
Wasted some time on Kiva today and noticed that this parcel is owned by Aparium Hotel Group (Crossroads Hotel LLC). Still no official news about this location, but I'd say that is a pretty good indicator that a hotel will soon be at this location. No permits yet.

Kansas City architectural firm El Dorado Inc. will design the 125-room hotel.

Construction is scheduled to start in early 2016 with a mid-2017 opening planned. The hotel would have about 125 employees.
