Baton Rouge Development
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...-SE/image_.jpg
Mike Wampold announced Tuesday morning that a Marriott Renaissance hotel, the largest in Baton Rouge, will occupy the site of the unfinished Swaggart Ministry dorms he owns on Bluebonnet. Work will start on the 348-room resort in August-September, and it should be completed in a year. The $64 million hotel will include a restaurant operated by Dickie Brennan, along with a 20,000-square-foot conference center and a state-of-the-art fitness center. http://www.businessreport.com/news/2...lans-marriott/ |
Awesome news. It is about time the Swaggart's unfinished dorms are put to good use.

Wish it was taller. But solid nonetheless. I foresee many of the top chain luxury hotels like the Marriott brand entering Baton Rouge as the city gets larger.
|
Well the shell of the building is already built. I am just happy that the empty shell which is an eyesore on Bluebonnet is now put to good use.

Very nice! Congrats to Baton Rouge. That area of town is booming.... where is this in relation to the Perkins Rowe development?

great job
thanks for all you've done on updating. I've got two pieces of news.
1. i've heard that BRAC is developing a considerably large project on the site of the old Advocate building. 2. the new Keller project off of 1-12 is slated to have a Saks 5th Ave. which doesn't bode well with me because Saks shouldn't be in the suburbs. |
