[St. John's] Hilton Garden Inn | 35m | 12 Floors | Proposed

[JCE]

I didn't realize before that the "future second phase of development on the western part of the site if rezoned, would potentially be a residential, high-rise building". Love to see what the future could bring for the proposed residential. I wonder how high a high rise. I guess eventually maybe once the hotel gets moving something might be proposed.

Start Date:
Tue, 2013/02/12 - 7:00pm
A Public Meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013 at 7 p.m., at the Foran/Greene Room, Fourth Floor, City Hall, to provide an opportunity for public review and comment on the revised application submitted by Manga Hotels to rezone land located at New Gower Street/Springdale Street/Pleasant Street from the Residential Downtown (RD) Zone to the Commercial Central Office (CCO) Zone to allow the construction of a 12-storey hotel building. The future development of the site, if rezoned, is proposed in two phases; the first phase would be a 12-storey hotel with 150 guest suites and surface parking. The hotel project would be located on the eastern portion of the site. Site access to the proposed hotel will include a right-in/right-out access on New Gower Street and a right-in/right-out access to Springdale Street.
