On that note, I wonder what will happen with The Radisson long term. It's a pretty old, outdated and frankly trashy hotel these days despite the renovations it underwent in I think early-mid 2023 after the homeless community was put up there and utterly wrecked the inside of the building. I can't imagine they'd knock it down, but I wonder if they'll ever sell it then just reconfigure it to be a residential building. Since this tower would require the demolition of essentially the entire parking garage on the site - shared by both the hotel and the restaurants - that immediately means the hotel would lose the majority of its parking units (sans a few surface spots around the building) which obviously impacts the hotel operations. Now while I don't have any information on their business, it never did seem to be doing well over the last 15~ years. It became rather infamous for many reasons, including hosting a clandestine child sex brothel a few years ago along with other problems like it being used by gangs and dealers, which helped seal its reputation as being not much different than the high class motel across the street.
I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future they look into the prospect of just turning it into a cheap rental building. There's a pool in and gym, so it would have amenity spaces already and most floors are already set up as hotel rooms, meaning they've got fairly adequate plumbing and electrical conduits all throughout the building. It would be a pretty easy building to flip from dumpy hotel to rental project.

The Raddison was closed for a period of time for renovations. It’s been a Courtyard by Marriott for at least a year.
