Waterfront Hotel Forges Ahead

City of Alexandria
“The first major project envisioned by the controversial waterfront redevelopment plan cleared its first hurdle Tuesday night, receiving the planning commission’s approval — but with a few caveats.

Designed by Carr City Centers — better known as Carr Hospitality, the Washington-based company behind the renovation of the Willard Hotel — the proposal would see a 120-room boutique hotel rise up five stories in the 200 block of S. Union St. Though city leaders have long targeted the block for redevelopment, planning commissioners had given Carr’s latest proposal a lukewarm reception.”
