The proposed project is a 123,710 -square (2.85-acre) parcel to be improved with a limited -service, extended -stay lodging facility; the hotel will be associated with the nationally affiliated hotel brand, Home2 Suites by Hilton. The proposed subject property, which is expected to open on July 1, 2024, will feature 98 rooms. The hotel will also contain the appropriate parking capacity and all necessary back -of -the -house space. The proposed project would offer a pool, free breakfast, laundry facilities, and a fitness center. The owners recently invested in a revision of the plan after hearing from the City of Ramsey of the desire for a "main street" feel along Sunwood Drive. In the family's desire to build community with Ramsey and help develop the next economic opportunities, the owners committed to redesigning their prototype to offer a dual entrance on the North and South of the building, add additional design and windows to the South entrance, and to incorporate more gathering options along the main street for the appeal of the COR's long-term vision of the area. The owner's have also developed a potential expansion option for the hotel to meet the needs of the growing Ramsey community.
