Project description: Bryan Properties LLC plans to open a new hotel near downtown Springfield this fall, a slight delay from its original target opening this summer, said Carrie Shires with Crossland. The four-story, 98-room Tru by Hilton sits on a lot previously occupied by six houses, which were demolished to make way for the project. There are 95 Tru hotels across the country, including one in St. Louis. Springfield’s hotel will be the brand’s second in Missouri.
Plaza Shopping Center gained an arcade with the March 1 opening of The Flying Lap LLC; the repurposing of space operated by Burrell Behavioral Health resulted in the March 18 opening of the company’s second autism center; and a group of downtown business owners teamed up to reopen J.O.B. Public House.
