Project description: Three years after opening Hotel Vandivort downtown, the McQueary brothers are adding a second boutique property adjacent to the first. With another 48 hotel rooms planned, the project would roughly double Vandivort’s maximum occupancy. It also features a fifth-story rooftop bar called The Vantage. The building is going up northwest of its current property, on the previous Vandivort parking lot at McDaniel Street and Robberson Avenue. The McQuearys converted a century-old building in a $13 million project to open their first boutique hotel.
The Republic School District is on track to open its Intermediate School for fifth- and sixth-grade students for the 2025-26 academic year.
