The nearly 75-year-old court building at 18th and Vine Streets is get a new lease on life. Developer Don Peebles says the structure will be converted into a Kimpton Hotel.
“We see this as a tremendous opportunity to be given custody of this landmark building, and turn it into an economic engine,” Peebles said today.
Peebles said he will purchase the building from the city for $4.5 million and will spend another $85 million renovating it.
The hotel will feature nearly 200 rooms, a massive ballroom, a spa, and a restaurant.
Completion is expected in 2017.
