Some internet sleuthing seems to reveal that the the Aloft development is being done by The Coventus Corporation and the Finley Company. Looks like this is one downtown hotel not being built by White Lodging, but, then again, is that really true? I guess it is either being planned with a Starwood management contract or a franchise agreement to be managed by another entity. The Finley Company apparently was the property owner and landlord who evicted Las Manitas back in the day and did a deal with White Lodging to get the JW built down Congress Ave. Coventus seems to be a Canadian company that is a leading provider of hotel internet services. Somebody must have better information. I hate the way the local media just prints press releases from developers and fails to provide real details about ownership and financing of local projects.
