Demolition will begin on the long-awaited Hotel Indigo on March 11, according to Grand Traverse Hotel Properties, LLC, the Grand Traverse County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, and the Traverse City Downtown Development Authority.
The $15 million project, located on Grandview Parkway, will require significant environmental remediation work. "Without the assistance of the Grand Traverse County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority in financing the environmental work that needs to be conducted at this site, this project would simply not work at all," said Grand Traverse Hotel Properties Managing Member Jeff Schmitz.
The hotel will consist of 105 rooms, conference facilities, a health spa, pool, restaurant, lounges (including a rooftop lounge overlooking West End Beach and the Open Space), and 79 underground parking spaces.

I am so thrilled that a Hotel Indigo is coming to town, and ridding TC of its biggest eyesore. How people can possible complain about something like this boggles the mind. I agree with Terry, Make that rooftop lounge epic, and a connector under/over the parkway is essential. I wish someone would post what the newest rendering looks like. I hope they keep it light and modern and don't kowtow to the curmudgeons who want everything to look like a square brick factory building. This is called progress people. Enjoy it.
