Just a short while ago I received a call from an Elmwood Avenue business owner who was wondering if we had any more information about the proposed hotel to be erected at the corner of Elmwood and Forest. I told him that I had requested some schematics from Karl Frizlen of The Frizlen Group, who had just emailed me a color rendering and a few specs that show the footprint of the proposed new build.

Check out the rest of the specs below and don't forget about the informational community meeting on Tuesday.

Karl also provided me with two comparison images (above) that show the Elmwood and Forest elevations to point out the houses that currently occupy the space where the footprint lays. If you look at the hotel, and then look below at the houses (within the same graphic), you can see what exactly the hotel will be displacing. He also sent along the layout for the inside of the building where you can visibly see the breakdown of the space. The interior incorporates four retail spaces (three large and one small) as well as a cafe, lounge, and reception bar... all of which are easy to see if you click on the image.
