Project description: Three years after opening Hotel Vandivort downtown, brothers John and Billy McQueary are adding a second boutique property adjacent to the first. With another 48 hotel rooms planned, the project would roughly double Vandivort’s maximum occupancy. It also features a fifth-story rooftop bar called The Vantage. The building is going up northwest of its current property, on the previous Vandivort parking lot at McDaniel Street and Robberson Avenue. BatesForum LLC is the project architect with Olsson providing civil engineering work.
Plaza Shopping Center gained an arcade with the March 1 opening of The Flying Lap LLC; the repurposing of space operated by Burrell Behavioral Health resulted in the March 18 opening of the company’s second autism center; and a group of downtown business owners teamed up to reopen J.O.B. Public House.
