Real estate investor Ben Mallah plans to build a $20 million hotel on the Gulf-front site of the severely storm-damaged Redington Long Pier. Mallah’s company, Equity Management Partners, and his partner, Tony Utegaard of Symbetheri Inc plan to preserve the pier, which is now court-authorized to be demolished.
 
To build the hotel, the 100-foot-wide property must be rezoned from its current category of recreation open space to commercial tourist facility. The town’s land use map must also be changed. The proposed rezoning will be reviewed by the town’s planning and zoning board on Oct. 3, while town commissioners would make the final rezoning decision at a subsequent meeting.
 
Although final designs have yet to be completed, the hotel project would include up to 100 standard hotel rooms atop a parking garage.
 
Mallah’s $5 million contract to buy the pier property is contingent it being rezoned by the town. Irma’s hurricane-force winds severely damaged the pier in 2017 and eventually forced its complete closure.
 
The 1,200-foot long pier is located at 17490 Gulf Blvd.

A development venture plans to building a new 24-story hotel building next to the Cabrini-Green public housing complex.  Chicago-based DAC Developments has proposed a 216-room hotel at 808 N. Cleveland Ave Chicago Illinois.
 
DAC Developments is led by Daniel Rezko, according to the application and the company’s website. DAC Project Manager is: Haitham Barham.  Bolstered by seven consecutive years of record-high tourism and downtown corporate relocations bringing more hotel stays to the city, developers opened about 11,000 new rooms downtown between 2008 and 2018, a 31 percent jump. Revenue per available room at downtown hotels also climbed during that period, though its growth has recently showed signs of slowing.
 
DAC Developments is betting on hotel demand on a site that is now vacant but is just steps from a part of the North Branch of the Chicago River that is rapidly changing and poised for a development boom. DAC’s hotel proposal also includes 90 on-site parking spaces and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, according to the zoning application.  DAC Developments is working on projects in north suburban Wheeling and in the Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood. The firm specializes in multifamily rental housing and condo and town home for-sale developments.

Developers in Kern County California plan to build a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The huge casino, concert and hotel complex proposed for a 300-acre site 14 miles south of downtown Bakersfield will be operated by the Tejon Indian Tribe and Hard Rock International, owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
 
The project has been in the works for years, but an agreement was recently reached with Hard Rock to operate the facility. The proposed hotel-casino project is sandwiched between the Interstate 5 and Highway 99 split. The hotel would have 400 rooms, making it the largest in Kern County. The facility would also include a spa and fitness center, resort style pool, 13 restaurants and bars, the largest convention space in Kern County and entertainment venue.
 
Octavio Escobedo is Tejon Tribe chairman. The idea for this project started more than a decade ago. Tejon Tribal submitted paperwork to the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2006 to regain federal recognition of her tribe. Last July, Las Vegas-based SCCR Tejon LLC purchased 306 acres of land for more than $10 million. 52 acres will be devoted to the hotel and casino, while 22 acres will be designated for an RV park. The remainder of the land will be designated for other tribal purposes including a health facility and housing.
 
The project is expected to bring 1,000 construction jobs and over 2,000 permanent jobs once completed with a payroll of $59 million annually. According to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, a rough draft of the Environmental Impact Statement and a formal date for public comment are set for later this year. There’s no timeline on when the project is set to begin.
