Hotel, Residential tower proposed for Southgate
Developer Robert Day wants to build a hotel at Southgate Towers, the Nicholson Drive residential and retail complex near LSU. Representatives of Day's company, R.W. Day, could not be reached. The firm proposes a six-story, 117-unit hotel and retail area, it says in a city-parish filing that revises the development's concept plan. Day wants to build the hotel across from the LSU Golf Course. He had originally planned two-story retail buildings for the spot. What's more, Day also is increasing one residential tower from 15 to 18 stories. Southgate now includes apartments and retail, including Walk-Ons restaurant, Co-Op Bookstore, CC's Coffeehouse and hello sushi! The revised concept plan has 158,200 square feet of commercial space and 85,642 square feet for the hotel.
